    I feel virtual classrooms and webinars are only going to become more and more popular in schools across the globe. One of the biggest challenges I see with this is “veteran” educators and non-techno savy teachers may struggle in incorporating technology effectively into the classroom and creating a interactive classroom environment.

    My tip to helping prevent and solve this challenge is by providing school seminars and video diaries and discussions with educators thoroughly going through the processes to help them better understand these concepts and how they could be developed. Every classroom and every situation is different. By understanding various methods and practices to creating a virtual classroom environment more educators will become successful in creating these environments. Like you’ve mentioned social media is a major part of internet use today especially by our students. Whether it is Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. our students social lives are being consumed by updating and using these social media sites. Finding a way to incorporate these sites could be very effective in motivating many of our students in the classroom and perhaps this could be possible through starting video chats/discussions, or group chats/discussion boards.
