The way I look at it, however, is that if you are a teacher that can captivate a classroom and keep their attention, you shouldn't be worried about the outside world distracting them, but instead enhancing their learning! I cannot wait until beautiful days here in the South where I can take my class outside to learn in a natural environment.<br /><br />As for the Skype video links, I believe this is an invaluable tool! Having my class see others classes would be a great tool! They could compare and contract the way the other class works and I might even learn a few things about the class!<br /><br />Great blog and wonderful information!

It seems to me that the 'net's only acceptable use is as a big, electronic encyclopedia. Wouldn't print encyclopedias have been cheaper in the long run? And easier to navigate?<br /><br />If you aren't going to publish, if you aren't going to interact with others from around the world, what is the point of having it?Bill Genereuxhttp://billgx.edublogs.orgnoreply@blogger.com
