12. TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM
ADAPT
Post all materials on-line BEFORE class: the material is available but you will expound upon the information in class
Allow recording: contract usage – most people cannot write or type as fast as you can speak.
Allow labtops/tablets: contract usage – typing, recording, spell check, etc

13. TECHNOLOGY FOR THE CLASSROOM
ADAPT
Consider alternatives: projects vs. papers, oral vs. written, electronic vs. handouts
Determine ultimate outcome: 4 W’s & H, SMART goals
Use technology effectively: latest not always the best
