Chapter 8 discusses academic internet communities through the means of online discussions and blog posts. Online communities have benefits such as creating an interactive experience that transcends the classroom and helps students who are shy to become more vocal in discussions. Which is more effective, online or in person communities?
Internet communities also help support students who have questions. Teachers become more available because once class is out, students still have the option of contacting them virtually. This especially helps span weekends. The time does not feel as wasted. Would you mind communication with your students over the internet on weekends?
Chapter 9 discussed visual media and PowerPoints. One of my professors uses PowerPoint presentations for every class and interjects with slides solely comprised of comics related to the topic at hand. This method gives us visuals as well as keeps us engaged. How do you feel about teachers using PowerPoints to teach lessons?
