I find I make more pointed, on-the-spot, comments to my students' work with the Chrome Book technology and the Cloud. It seems that jumping in when the time is right is working better than trying to make a blanket lesson for all. Perhaps because it is subtle and private -- I make them on papers and in blogs. It could be because learning is deeper when the information arrives when the need appears, or perhaps it's because the teaching becomes individualized and not intimidating. One student I'm thinking of in particular would not normally ask for help, but eagerly leaves comments for me and takes advice readily.
From this standpoint, the semester is going smoother.
