She teaches to student who are on line all over the world from China, mexico etc.. Not only does she odd hours because of the time difference but she has no idea if they really are there so she points them for showing up and participating plus doing their work. It's a whole new way of teachingBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-84276146506708881592020-08-06T17:59:06.792-07:002020-08-06T17:59:06.792-07:00Thanks.Thanks.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-20562149930840524932020-08-06T07:54:07.221-07:002020-08-06T07:54:07.221-07:00A participation point system makes a lot of sense....A participation point system makes a lot of sense.
