The tutor and student can access the site and work together in a chat room, audio chat room or even a video chat area. White board technology enables both parties to make changes to equations, spelling or concept development. Tutors can be awarded with community service time, a small monetary amount, or discounts or coupons to community stores. Class Bulletin Boards Students can work together and adopt positive learning techniques. Each class will have an assigned bulletin board enabling students to post questions about their homework or class content they do not understand.
Teachers can moderate the group or assign students to coordinate the discussions and topics.
This is a great way to recognize student leaders. When a question is posted on the bulletin board, students will receive email notification to view the posted information. This electronic notebook will include their notes and a summary review from each lecture or section covered. When the student finishes the course, they have the opportunity to review the book with their family and email the teacher with their thoughts or comments. Teachers will be able to email parents and students to reward those who worked above and beyond the rest and share examples of what the PLB's should look like.
