Alternate Attendance
Out last lab session, due to bad weather, we had the opportunity to attend class via video chat. This was very interesting in that students who weren't directly in the class could still see and hear everything that was going on and even comment when they wanted to contribute. This could be utilized in different classrooms from having attendees from different locations to allowing students who are shy or have disabilities to also contribute and attend a class. This is defiantly one type of technology that allows for freedoms and extra types of attendance.

This is really cool, is there any way that a video chat could be left up and a sick student could view an important lesson from home?
ReplyDeleteI also felt that this was a good opportunity. I can see the benefits that software like this could have. I agree that there is a big benefit that allows students to comment without having to speak up in a classroom setting. I could also see how this could help students who were chronically ill and were no able to be in a traditional classroom setting all of the time.
