In order for many students to learn it takes listening and doing something with the information they just heard. Whether it is a paper or questions to answer or even some kind of computer program, it does not matter as long as the student gets some kind of hands on experience that gives the same information in another way. An example of this is Blackboard. We also had to respond to our peers about what they wrote. It also allowed us to read the opinions of other people that were to shy to speak out in class.
Blackboard is a way for the student to be interested and participate at the same time.
Jenny Rose also agrees that Blackboard is a good way to participate . She feels it allows the student to take an interest in what they are learning. Computers are a good way to get hands on learning and it is good just to know how to use them. If I had no idea how to use a computer then I would not be able to access many of my classes. Also, taking a computer class is very important to my education because I am getting a Bachelor of Science degree and I have to know how to use a computer.
