How do you like to use new media in class? Do you think it’s useful?microphone1

  • The internet provides much more information and to some extent offers more current sources for research projects
  • One can use the internet to design more artful power point presentations
  • New media can serve to create diversified lessons
  • In my opinion, students should obligatorily be taught the use of new media, since I believe that especially at the university this knowledge will be required

How often do you actually use new media in class?

  • At our school, new media is used very little
  • It strongly depends on the teacher, whether new media is employed in the lessons

⇒ The young generation tries to involve new media more often, while older teachers stick to their traditional methods

  • In addition, the media equipment at our school is relatively old

⇒ The tools either do not work, or teachers spend a lot of time to get them run

In which subjects do you predominantly use new media?

  • Subjects in which new media is mainly used: English, Maths and “Seminarfach”
  • Subjects in which new media is rarely used: biology, German, French, history, values and norms and politics
