Example of Effectiveness
Effectiveness is a word that describes what the students are actually suppose to be learning. A good example of Effectiveness would be: http://www.lessonplanspage.com/ This site provides different activites and lesson plans for teachers that can and will engage the students in their learning activities. It has every subject and you can also pick which specific age group you want to look up the lessons and activities for. It gives you a step by step analysis of the lessons and activities so that it is very easy and clear to explain to the children.
Efficiency is a word that describes different things that can be done in the classroom to take up less time. A good example of Efficiency would be: http://snapgrades.net/ This site is an online gradebook, making it easier for teachers to enter in students grades. Not only will this site help teachers enter in grades faster, it also will reduce the risk of human error and also provide a clean, organized gradebook at all times. Writing down the grades can get extremely time consuming and you can only do one thing at a time. Being able to do it online provides you with a better opportunity to get other things done as well.
Enhancement is a word that describes opportunity/experience. Such things that fall under the category of enhancement would allow the students to experience something in "real-life" that they make not have been able to experience via powerpoint or pen and paper. A good example of Enhancement would be: http://eduscapes.com/tap/topic35.htm This site allows teachers to take their classes to places that would be unrealistic to actual be able to take them too such as Antartica. Kid's can tour whichever location is selected and be virtually guided by the "tour guide" in order to learn about what is in their text books. It is an excellent website to allow students to experience the impossible if you will.
