It is true TWaha, one way of breaking the walls by flipping the classes. Gone are the days when could only be accessed only in the classroom. Thanks to technology.

Sulaiman,

This is the greatest of problems we faced in the teaching and learning process. To me any thing that distracts attention among learners is what i may refer to as problem behavior. These are issues as referred to in our task 3. The question is managing these issues.

they are great questions

Thanks Nellie, can you put them in the wiki and then edit? I think it may be easier to edit from there where we can easily see repetitions and make amendments. Who is your partner in the home group?

Thanks Nellie for those wonderful questions? What we think of other techology tools to supplement the few available computers?
