Experimental Psychology

Like most teachers who lecture, my Experimental Psychology teacher incorporates PowerPoint's into his lesson. He also uses different web sites to back up his statistical data. In this particular class we examine research from data we have gained from an experiment or observations. In class he shows us different experiments we can do online that measure a persons perception. This teaching method is not only interesting, it gives students the chance to interact with one another.

I learned that technology can be applied to many different classes. The possibilities are endless as to how you can use the computer in the classroom. This class is not one I expected to use the internet for. This experience showed me that there is a wide range of things the internet has to offer. Doing experiments online is hard because the data is presented differently. The way he teaches he expected us to all ready have a handle on the technology. Once I got the hang of it, it was easier then I thought.
