Transforming teaching and learning through innovative technology

Hi there, Amber here.

Growing up I was never a huge football fan. I was always very involved in athletics, but never football. As I’ve grown older, I have learned to appreciate what an incredible sport this is. I now understand why year after year the Superbowl is listed in the World Almanac as the number one viewed television show for the year.

As some of you may already know, the Indianapolis Colts faced the New Orleans Saints recently in a head to head match up. Not only would this be a very exciting game to catch normally, but this was the very first game of the season! To give you a quick wrap up the Colts ended up crushing the competition 31-0.

The point to all the football talk is I was able to meet with some friends in my Elluminate vRoom during the game and talk about it! How cool is that! I wish I had thought of this in time for my fantasy football live draft. It always seems like a hassle trying to get everyone together to participate but with the help of Elluminate it was like most of my fantasy team was right there in the room with me!

I think this would be an excellent way to engage students in learning. No, not by encouraging fantasy football sessions, but rather participating in online presentations. My professors always used to say that everyone learns differently, and that’s the truth. Students need to be able to engage in their learning to be better prepared for the life that awaits them. What better time to do that then now. Start collaborating with your students with the help of Elluminate’s FREE vRooms! You can access your free vRoom by quickly signing up HERE. AND GO PATRIOTS!!!
