PE5-Classconnect

I just finished adding assignments to the hand-in page. Just click on the green plus symbol next to assignments and a dialog box will appear to add your assignments. Students submit finished assignments through the hand-in page. The hand-in page logs the date turned in and the student’s name. I can access Classconnect from anywhere to grade the assignments. The idea of an electronic copy of the times each assignment is turn in takes away the possibility of a student try to say they turned it in and I must have lost it. I like the idea of all electronic assignments being turned in from students. I believe we waste to must paper but that is another story.

I believe the forum will be a great asset for students to post comments, questions and concerns. Post to the forum is easy with just the click of the green plus symbol next to create forum thread. I can’t wait to read some of the post and see how some of the students react to the implementation of new technology in the class.

I believe Classconnect is a great tool to use in my construction class. There are other features that I will use at different times. One feature that I believe will be of great value is the Livelectures. The LiveLectures is a little misleading because you can use active or archived lectures. I am excited to see how the new technology is received and how each student takes the change in direction of the class.
