Integrating technology organically turns the unobtrusive, the familiar into something new and unique.
These are Skype techniques that belong to the Anticipation Reaction learning strategy family.
- If students are away from class, but able to virtually participate, they can watch, text and be viewed through Skype.
- Total class involvement: ask or display a question, statement or problem in class, then students answer through Skype. Begin the discussion after all have answered.
- If a student wants to ask a question, they can ask in private, through Skype, without other students knowing, if they are shy or think it would be embarassing.
After all anticipatory answers are received by the teacher and discussed in class, students can skype their reactions(answers)to the lesson. Changing some answers and leaving others as they were originally skyped will encourage student learning in a non-threatening environment using this user-friendly, ubiquitous online web application.
