One of the benefits of online classrooms is that you can see how teachers arrange their lessons and what type of resources they share with their learners. You can also see how teachers ask questions and use visual layouts to make accessing information clearer.
I love the way Mrs Moore writes with a sense of humour...years of experience have also taught her how to capture teenagers' attention. Online classrooms of a great way of sharing resources with other classes. We love that our blogs are public on the net and are delighted when other schools use our content. We also love seeing what other schools are doing and have learnt alot from Durban Girls College and the GAFE summit.
Being a teacher you have to be present in the classroom all the time, but the internet can take you into other peoples' classrooms. So I can quickly check another site whilst supervising a lesson and assisting learners.
Also experimenting with new things is much easier when you have a wise hand to guide you. I love that I can share documents with Mrs Moore and she can instantly know what I am teaching in my classroom and where I need to add or change something.
Posting images of learners work also allows the learners to mentor each other and so the cycle grows.
I will add some screenshots blog examples.
