When students are absent from school, most of them are sent books and handouts for their makeup assignments. This article details how a South Carolina school is using technology to make that process more engaging and more effective. The classrooms are equipped with Smart Boards, so the teacher downloads files from the missed lesson to a bracelet that is sent home for the students to plug into their computer. These can contain items from the lesson such as powerpoint presentations. They are reporting that this method is very successful in engaging the students in the missed lesson which results in better performance from the students. Personally, I feel that this is a great use of technology. Any time that technology is used effectively, the lesson is greatly enhanced. This is definitely a method that would benefit many other schools.
