Julia Noel - #6

When searching emerging technologies online I came across the idea of virtual labs. This may seem as it is meant for older students but I think it could also be incorporated into elementary schools. It is a way or having pre-labs, alternate homework assignments other then textbooks and in-class activities that are all online. This would still work in elementary classrooms because the labs could be easier but still fun. It is a way of getting students to use technology. This way evaluations can still be done online also. Virtual labs may also be more exciting and keep students more engaged. This sounds like a great technology to use in classrooms!

I think online homework is a great incentive for students! A lot of kids are on the computer a large portion of their time anyway.-Korey Alfred
