Reflections
The internet offers educators a bountiful
resource of current, salient information right at
our fingertips. However, not every learning
situation can be completely adapted to online
learning with Vocational training as a perfect
example. While students must learn to be
technologically literate with respect to
computers and the Internet, not every students
wants or needs to forfeit educational hours
learning a trade for an electronic education. I
have made an effort to select a lesson that might
lend itself to electronic augmentation and
configure the site to be expanded to other
lessons. I hope viewers can glean something they
find useful from this site.

SUCCESSES

• The Internet approach will allow me one more
  avenue for remediation

SHORTCOMINGS

• Students expectations and learning styles in
  shop classes seem to do better with hands on
  exercises.
• No matter how you present measuring, some
  students have a mental block to learning
  fractions, which they claim is genetic.

Conclusion
Reviewing State Standards helps us to keep our
eyes on the target but creating effective
activities is where the rubber meets the road.
This experience has not only taught me to apply a
new technology tool but also helped me 1.
Refocus on State Standards 2. Revisit behavioral
objectives 3. Review the effectiveness of class
activities
