TLT CoffeeRead for January 4: University of Wyoming classrooms on cutting edge
Old buildings get new look and new toys
UW classroom upgrades boost teaching, learning
"For students in Rachel Watson's lower-division microbiology classes at the University of Wyoming, there's little opportunity to be bored.
On the screens at the front of the room, Watson uses animations of her own creation to show the basics of cell biology. She projects images from the Internet and through the use of document cameras. She employs both a whiteboard and a digital tablet to write key terms and points. And using the computer installed in the classroom, she poses questions that students answer via their cell phones to provide instant feedback from the large groups."
