Anyone, anyone?

Whether it be live in a classroom or on a computer in an on-line course, the responsibility remains the same. Engage, motivate, retain, connect the content to measurable goals. How many times does one have to say it, "What will the student be able to do as a result of?" Of note, it doesn't say, "What will the student know as a result of?" Unless one is planning to be on Jeopardy, just to know is just that.

If I know how my boiler works when I ask for the $10 question in the Boiler's category, I'm a winner. But if my boiler stops working and I know how it works? I'm warm.

To note, technology can only give back what you put into it. The iPad is not our savior. An iPad is an iPad.
