Here’s a gadget that looks like fun .. and is completely useless.
i just want to know if it comes in Dvorak flavour.
Speaking of gadgets, today we had the adult literacy classroom on their laptops for the whole session. i wanted to get students used to searching for images and videos, so a couple of activities focussed on these skills.
For example, find a video that interests you on how stuff works. Watch it, take some notes and then write a response (a description, an opinion or a set of instructions).
Seems to work so much better to have laptops around the table, than asking people to step away from the table and face the wall to use the desktop machines. You can still be sociable, keep in touch with other people, and get on with your work.
i wonder how other people use video or laptops in their classrooms?
