“Working Smarter not Harder.” Increasing student interaction in class with less total time from the teacher.

| Distance learning and Web-enabled classes have directed attention from teacher-centered to student-centered learning. Many teachers have found that instead of decreasing their work they have more to do. Assignments still need to be graded and tests need to be made out but now also e-mails need to be written to students individually and web pages need to be constantly updated. What is a teacher to do? Fortunately, instead of working harder or longer hours, teachers can use the technology available to work smarter. This session will focus on strategies one teacher has used to lighten the workload; Topics include using speech recognition software for individualized e-mails, speeding up grading using a template, displaying grades anonymously on the Web with Excel, using Excels what-ifanalysis tools for answering questions about grades, and incorporating Cold Fusion scripts for interactive databases. |
