This is to cut out the spam that unfortunately otherwise shows up. I'll try turning that off and see what happens.] <BR/><BR/>Yeah-I wonder too. I never liked to lecture with computers in front of the students (programming class, eg.) because I never could tell when they were on task. Once, I caught a frequent complainer surfing FaceBook instead of following along. On the other hand, I'd be willing to try out something like this in certain contexts. I can see it working better in a conference situation than a classroom (especially in math).<BR/><BR/>If it can open up a continuing dialogue, that would be magic.

I worry about the distraction, but I don't believe powerpoint really gets people's attention. Also the students without access is a concern for me. Are there more studies about this area? Twittering your way through class? Especially as online offerings become more prevalent - this could be a great way to get questions across.B4https://www.blogger.com/profile/10632387854822797629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20035359.post-46163350333766301042009-03-05T08:55:00.000-05:002009-03-05T08:55:00.000-05:00I am curious how this would work in the classroom ...I am curious how this would work in the classroom - is it the "clicker" extended? I do believe that the conversation needs to broaden - lectures just aren't as captivating or interesting - and I cannot begin to dicuss my issues with powerpoint as a whole. Can this open up dialogue in an hour long class?B4https://www.blogger.com/profile/10632387854822797629noreply@blogger.com
