pros:
- look up what I need/explore concepts I have trouble with
- help with simulating data compared with calculators
- learn at my own pace
- independent learning will be useful skill for college
- plenty of resources available
- promotes true learning over memorization
- forces us to think critically
- no stress, enjoyable, relaxing
- pace will be quicker
- allows us to pick our own path
- make the environment suit ourselves
- opportunity to develop my own methods
- not worry about holding others up
- resources will provide multiple ways of solving the same problems
- will help promote my natural ability to learn and problem-solve
- reduces possible factors that may bother me in the classroom
- lets me learn my own way and find ways to solve problems that work for me
- will help me learn the material a lot better
- During the beginning this process of using the laptops will perhaps not be as effective as possible. However, once I have used them for a few class periods, I will have a good amount of links to visit and applications to use with a good amount of familiarity and ease. And if the laptops do not perform as I had hoped, then I do not have to use them.
cons:
- need some sort of direction
- searching around a lot and not finding much
- does this teach in the way we need for AP exam?
- need to supplement with check-ins to make sure we are on same page
- want to be able to listen to music
- need to balance with more structured work from textbook (nightly homework)
- would be helpful to go over everything we need to learn to make sure we have everything
- typically I learn best when I am directly taught/prefer lecture-style learning from teacher because it is most efficient
- I may have to put more effort into my studies
- might like a mix of independent model and traditional model/alternate days
- lengthy logins may waste time/hope login times will improve significantly
- would like wireless privileges so can use my own laptop
- didn't learn anything online - found only quizzes whereas I wanted to get the concepts clear
- need the function and order of daily lecture and reinforcement of the reading
5 mostly negative, 4 vote for a balance, 13 mostly positive, 1 did not vote due to absence
