Teachers are using other resources outside the classroom to help their students.
“The school should look into how educational YouTube can be and how helpful technology can be,” dance teacher Anna Gravenkamp said.
Teachers have adapted to the modern age of technology and have started using the Internet, they have started using blogs to help inform and educate their students.
Blogspot, Juno, and Edmoto are some examples of sites that teachers are using.
Gravenkamp has a blog to keep her numerous dancers informed on the latest techniques.
She posts videos and choreography to ogdance.blogspot.com so students can practice in the comfort of their home.
“I use the blog to post videos and I think it helps the students grasp the concept a bit better.
It gives those students who are a bit slower at learning the one on one learning they need, through the videos.” Gravenkamp said.
U.S. History Teacher Michael Sovacool uses Edmodo.com to help continue the discussion outside of the classroom, since there is not always time to have all the discussions in class.
“Sovacool uses [Edmodo] to provide supplemental info to students and lets us have discussions outside class that we wouldn’t otherwise have time for.
“For an AP student that’s great because we rarely have enough time to have discussions,” junior Lucas Dodd said.
Some students on campus do not have computers at home, and some of these resources do not pass through the school’s online filter.
Access to some of these sites, like Gravenkamp’s blog, is denied, and the amount of help certain students can get becomes limited.
This could make things more difficult instead of helping the students. Without this access students have to refer back to the original way of getting help, just asking.
“Not everyone has access to the Internet though. Sure a lot of people have Internet, but what about the people who don’t, it doesn’t help them,” junior Thalia Ballardo said.
