Where are some places within your course where some of these strategies could be included? (Note: it is not necessary to have these strategies in every unit, or even to have every strategy used) Can any of these strategies be added to the course for the current semester? Which strategies can be added during revisions?

5. Tech Focus: Pronto Have you completed the Google spreadsheet about Wimba Pronto?

What are some of the challenges of using Pronto? What are some interesting ways this tool can be used? What are you still not comfortable knowing how to do with Pronto?

What are the next steps to helping students be successful? (Note: being successful does not mean finding a way to pad the grade so that they pass. We are interested in making sure that each student masters the content) What ELC strategies that were focused on this week might be used to help struggling students?
