In the article, Professors adjust their methods to reach technology-savvy generation written by Yang Su. It gives us an overview of how technology has being involved in the education of not just students, but professors. Students from SDSU and UCSD either watch videos in their laptops, listen to music, or text message while they are in class. So, some classes have a web site component that helps students interact with the professor and students. Students are able to view grades, notes, and even take quizzes. Due to new technology advances students interact more with the professor via email rather than going to the professor’s office. Now, teachers are starting to use clicker, a new device that is growing increasingly in college classes because they are a lot of students and by using the clicker the professor gets everyone to participate. It is a devise like a control remote and students have to click a button to answer the question.
Instant messaging, students are more social and make more friends via Instant Messaging. The shy students talk more via IM than if they were face to face. Students increase their networking and have more friends. They plan get-togethers.
Question 1: why would some classes have a web site component and not others?
Answer: I think that some classes have a web site component and not others because it depends on the subject of the class, the professor, the material that is being use, the amount of work that students have to do and how long the class is. Also, it is easier for students to get a hold of their class mates to ask them questions and to interact with them.
Question 2: what would happen if we start using a web site component for elementary, middle and high schools to be part of the class for parents to connect to the teacher?
Answer: I think that the would be a great idea because teachers can post their students grade, and any other comment that they might want to post like important dates for the semester, the homework for the day, and whenever the is going to be a test that way parents would know to help their children study.
