Lesson Plan: | Following is a brief lesson plan: 1. Instructor uses Live-Paper App. as a smart board for writing class notes, recording, and linking to Internet, and for sending notes and recorded lectures to students. 2. Students receive by email a soft-copy and a recorded lecture for the lesson so they can review the content at home and at their own pace. 3. Students save all class lectures for future studies and test review. 4. Students can use the app to complete class projects (using all the app. features cut/paste/recording/taking pictures). |
Other Notes: | This method gives students the chance to have the lectures and the notes with them at home for further studies. It was like having their Instructor with them at home (recorded lectures and notes). They were able to save all class notes throughout the semester and this helped them in preparing for exams. They were also able to complete their learning-by-doing project through the use of Live-Paper (full). |
