WEB-ENHANCED INSTRUCTION

 A combination of online and classroom instruction

 A term used to describe face-to-face learning supported by online components.
 The combination of online activities with traditional face-to-face classroom
instruction.
 The use of course management system tools (i.e. Blackboard, WebCT) to augment
the traditional face-to-face classroom

A course management system (CMS) is a collection of software tools providing an

online environment for course interactions. A CMS typically includes a variety of online
tools and environments, such as:

 An area for faculty posting of class materials such as course syllabus and
handouts
 An area for student posting of papers and other assignments
 A gradebook where faculty can record grades and each student can view his or
her grades
 An integrated email tool allowing participants to send announcement email
messages to the entire class or to a subset of the entire class
 A chat tool allowing synchronous communication among class participants
 A threaded discussion board allowing asynchronous communication among
participants

Course Management System Tools

Blackboard

 Blackboard is a tool that allows faculty to add resources for students to access
online. PowerPoint, Captivate, video, audio, animation, and other applications
are created outside of Blackboard and added into Blackboard courses for students
to enhance teaching and learning efforts.
 KEY FEATURES

WebCT

 An e-learning platform and online course management system used extensively

in colleges, universities, and other educational institutions. WebCT supports
online tools such as discussion forums, e-mail, live chat, and white-boarding, as
well as content in various formats (e.g., html documents, Web pages, and so on).
WebCT recently merged with Blackboard, another leading provider of
educational software
 KEY FEATURES

What is Web-Enhanced Class?

 Web-Enhanced Classes are traditional synchronous courses that provide 100

percent of class instruction in a traditional classroom setting.

What is in Web-Enhanced Class?

 These courses are enriched by the addition of an online component and require
that students be actively engaged in that online component.
 Web-enhanced classes incorporate web / internet based activities such as online
lessons, communication tools such as chat and a discussion board. Frequently
web-enhanced courses use self-grading online tests or quizzes, as well as
downloading and / or submitting assignments online.
 Web-Enhanced courses are not completely online and involve attending on
campus sessions regularly like any other class.
What is Web-Enhanced Learning (WEL)

 Use of the World Wide Web (Web) to provide students studying in the classroom
with access to electronic resources and learning activities that would not be
available to them in traditional classroom-based study.

 The simplest forms of WEL provide information about a course on the Web and
access to the Web from within the classroom. More sophisticated forms of WEL
blend activities in the classroom with Web-enabled online learning activities
which promote collaborative learning among students even when they are
distant from the classroom

ENHANCING CLASSROOM COMMUNICATION

6 Tech Tools for Enhancing Communication “In” the Classroom (and “Out”)

1. Remind 101

Remind 101 is an app and website used for communication between

teachers, parents, and students. Teachers can send a text message
to created groups about upcoming tests, quizzes, and projects. This
is a great way to communicate using text messages without giving
away a teacher’s personal phone number. Parents and students can
respond to the message with questions and comments. Teachers can even send pictures
of what’s going on in the classroom and important documents, as well. 
2. Social Media

Students live and thrive on social media, so using some in the

classroom for communication is a smart idea. Twitter and
Instagram are the top choices to keep parents and students
and even the people in the community involved in the goings on of the school and the
classroom. 

Teachers can post announcements about weather delays or large school events. Twitter
is great for short messages about upcoming assignments. Instagram is great for pictures
of student work and longer announcements, while both are great for discussions. 

These social media platforms can be combined so that one post appears in both
locations. One fun aspect of social media is creating hashtags. A teacher can create a
hashtag, or several, for students to use when they post something for class. This way,
teachers can keep track of responses and questions. This is a great tool for
communication since most people are already using both of these frequently. 

3. GoSoapBox

GoSoapBox is a chat room designed for classrooms.

Teachers can post different types of questions for
students to respond to in real time. The benefit of
GoSoapBox is that it encourages student interaction. It can be anonymous for the
student, so they feel more comfortable sharing answers.

Teachers can still see who is answering but other students don’t know who says what.
They even have a “confusion meter” that allows students to tell the teacher how well
they comprehend the topic. This is a great tool for giving students a voice which
improves communication in the classroom between teachers and students.
 4. Blogging

Keeping a blog or having students write a blog keeps

everyone informed. For a classroom blog, think about
using Edublogs. It is powered by WordPress and is
user-friendly for teachers. This is a great place to
make a classroom blog where teachers can write a
weekly blog post about what’s happening within the
classroom. A calendar can be added as well as document storage and photo albums.

If students are going to be doing the writing, check out Kidblog. This website is a safe
place for students to manage their own blog. They can write blog posts and create digital
portfolios under teacher supervision. Teachers have all the control over the student
blogs. Blogging can give students a real life application to communication. Parents can
see their own child’s blog and see what they are learning, and teachers can monitor the
blogs for content and learning. This is a fun way to have students communicate with
their families and each other.

5. Google Docs

Google Docs is a wonderful way for students and teachers to

collaborate on assignments. Instead of students turning in a
rough draft of a paper and waiting several days to get the
draft back coated in red ink, they can share a link to their
Google Doc. As the teacher opens in on their own computer, he
or she can leave comments about how to improve the
assignment and even open a chat with the student. The student then is immediately
notified by email of the comments and suggestions left by the teacher. This allows for
faster communication and a place for students to ask their teachers questions about
their own work.
 6. EdPuzzle

Listening is an important skill within the classroom. Silence

is usually associated with listening, but that doesn’t mean
students are actually paying attention. EdPuzzle is an
interactive video given by the teacher where students watch a
video that pauses along the way for students to answer a
question based on the video. They have to answer the
question before moving on to the next portion of the video. Teachers can keep track of
those responses and even refer to the videos for class lessons. This digital tool is
beneficial for making sure students understand topics.

Linking student to their world

* Incorporating real world connection into a lesson plan

 It helps students understand why what they’re learning at is useful beyond school
and university. It’s an approach that works for every curriculum to increase
engagement in the learning process as students gain valuable insights into real
life applications of the skills they’re being taught. By connecting classrooms to the
real world, teachers can demonstrate the relevance of subjects and give students a
vision of what’s possible – providing a meaningful framework for both academic
and personal development.

* Multimedia activities

 This kind of activity has a big influence to the students. Bringing material to life
through news feeds, podcasts and streaming videos opens the classroom up to a
wider world where students can start to see the value of learning.
* Increasing engagement through interactive education technology

 Encourage students to become better learners, empowering self-initiated learning

as they take an interest in what’s going on around them and actively seek to
satisfy their own curiosities. By connecting them to a bigger picture, we can set
the next generation up for success not just at school but in life as they explore
information that speaks to them and find new ways to relate to each other and
the world.

* Incorporating current affairs into the classroom

 Helping students become aware of global issues and allowing them to make
connections between what is being taught at school and what is happening in the
real world. Benefiting from a wide range of cultural, social and political
perspectives they may not otherwise be exposed to, students who are encouraged
to keep up with the latest news develop a more responsible outlook and are better
prepared to operate in a globalized and multi-cultural economy.

* Use technology in the classroom

 Consider getting students to conduct research using their phones, or incorporate
online learning resources as part of the lesson

* Teach authentic engagement

 Instead of teaching students to regurgitate information, teach them how to find it

what they need to know now is how to analyze and evaluate the information that
they are presented with. Media literacy is an essential 21st century skill, showing
students how to differentiate between fake news and credible resources so they
can make more informed decisions to shape their understanding and
contribution to the world. What we need in our future workforce are students
who understand the world and how it works.
 What it is?

It is a website that connects K-12 classrooms in a more than 99

countries to share content and ideas and collaborate on projects.

Website where school administrators, teachers, students and parents can connect,
communicates, and collaborates for free.

Teachers create a profile with a brief description about who they're hoping to
connect with and why; for example, a third-grade class that would like to meet French-
speaking students to collaborate on a global green living project.

The system will also recommend classrooms. Once connected, classes can
communicate through a private workspace on the site. Educators can apply safety filters
to each student in their virtual classroom. They can choose to moderate all student
messages before they're sent, to receive copies of all messages once they're delivered, or
just moderate messages that contain identified content, or opt for open communication
with no teacher moderation. Teachers can also access lesson plan ideas and other
resources on the site.

Web 2.0 is the name used to describe the second generation of

the World Wide Web, where it moved static HTML pages to a more
interactive and dynamic web experience.

Web 2.0 is focused on the ability for people to collaborate and share information
online via social media, blogging and Web-based communities.

Web 2.0 signaled a change in which the World Wide Web became an interactive
experience between users and Web publishers, rather than the one-way conversation
that had previously existed. It also represents a more populist version of the Web, where
new tools made it possible for nearly anyone to contribute, regardless of their technical
knowledge.

Examples of Web 2.0

Social networking sites, social media sites

Blogs, wikis, folksonomies ("tagging" keywords on websites

and links),
