IDEAS FOR USING WEBINARS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING?
Study/review session for interested students before big tests
Give students who miss school (illness, etc) a chance to make-up a class presentation assignment
Recordings of webinars can be used to re-teach material as needed.
Allows for students to teach other student - have them attend webinars as homework assignments
Students can develop their own webinars on a particular research topic.
