Howard McNutt[5:33:19 PM]: but. Howard McNutt[5:34:10 PM]: as we well know when we are working in the compute lab and we want their attention we just have them turn off the monitors. Then when we want them to work on assignments we let them turn it on and dim the lights and they become computer zombies Joy Hooker[5:34:24 PM]: I would also like to suggest that you demonstrate to them how to conduct research about their information Howard McNutt[5:34:45 PM]: Thats a good idea.... Howard McNutt[5:34:53 PM]: I hadn't considered that yet Joy Hooker[5:35:08 PM]: Will you have some planned sites for them ready Howard McNutt[5:35:16 PM]: This could be an alternative in case there is no film available for them Howard McNutt[5:35:40 PM]: No they were to watch a film from the library that covers animal species Joy Hooker[5:35:47 PM]: thats right with technology its always best to have plan B Howard McNutt[5:35:59 PM]: from their in class discuss differencess Howard McNutt[5:36:11 PM]: Yours is a great idea for plan B....

Howard McNutt[5:44:29 PM]: give students an oppotunity to evaluate peer work Joy Hooker[5:44:35 PM]: Yes that gives them a chance to look at it in a different way good idea Howard McNutt[5:44:37 PM]: can help them understand a bit more Joy Hooker[5:45:04 PM]: It sounds like a well thought out plan Howard McNutt[5:45:09 PM]: Thanks for all the help and suggestions Joy Hooker[5:45:15 PM]: The End!
