Question+3


 * **How will you know if the students are learning and retaining what they are being taught?**

(Jeff) By monitoring and by recieving constant feedback by way of discussion and evaluations. (Beryl) We should be a member of their group to monitor progress and interact to provide guidance to help them stay involved to learn the intended content and use the tools effectively for this task and future tasks. (JEFF)Yes,i think being involved is the key.  (Tina) To add to Jeff's comment--The good thing about using a lot of the web 2.0 tools is that a teacher doesn't have to be "sitting" beside the student to see whether or not they're participating and/or learning what they're being taught. For example, using a wiki to collaborate as we're doing tonight-a teacher can read the content to verify understanding; if there needs to be clarification, the student can receive immediate feedback/evaluation. (Joey) The best way to know if they are learning is by their direct feedback. I agree with Beryl in the fact that we should be a member of their group.
