Life in the Internet Lane

I really did enjoy the class last Tuesday and its convenience although it was difficult and at some points confusing. I think that it was fun and can serve a purpose if used in the correct way.

It was very interesting how Karen took advantage of the opportunity that was given (present via the internet/wimba) and make the best of it. I did obtain a lot of information from our class session and have been actively looking for the "behaviorisms" in the way that I teach.

Behaviorism is a basic and simple form of teaching that is very ridged and strict. Karen, with her performance on Tuesday, changed my mind! She used creative skill building exercises (online games and Power Point slides) to explain the game of craps. Even though the lesson was based around probability she found a creative way to gain a learners attention and keep it!
