12. Benefits of Teaching in Tutorial Context The tutorial requires active participation by the student. Learners must become engaged with the course content in order to process and build on it, and more importantly to express their own understanding of the topics discussed. Students who are too shy or culturally disadvantaged to participate fully in class can thrive online, where they have time to construct their questions and answers and don't have to compete with confident peers for attention. For international and non-English speaking students, these online discussions allow time for reading the contributions of others, rather than trying to understand accents and spoken language in real time. http://teaching.unsw.edu.au/tutorials
17. The Power to do More Productivity tools allow students to do something that was not possible without technology and then to share their results with others. In contrast to traditional software that encourages linear procedural processes, tool software is open-ended. Productivity tools include word processing, spreadsheets, graphics, and telecommunications software. Pisapia, John. Teaching with Technology: Productivity Tools.
23. Why History Games? Games and simulations are increasingly seen as worthy of academic study and application. Games can not only engage, but they can help develop analytical and critical-thinking skills. They also provide creative possibilities for differentiated learning. Today there is a whole range of free and fee-based games and simulations to provide creative opportunities for students to hone their knowledge and understanding of historical events and characters.
