Virtual Lesson

We had discussion about virtual lesson in our class. Even thought I was not good at using computer and applying technology, it was attractive and I thought I would like to apply it. I didn't take online courses before. I went to class and I asked teachers/professors directly because I thought the online courses would not help me much to learn. 
However, the discussion had remind me of one class that I took in college. I took government when I was in undergraduate. I initially did not have confident to be in the classroom because the director covered a lot of things in a day and then I could not really paid attention to the director's words. I was busy to take notes. However, even if I took the notes, I could not understand why I wrote down.
We did not have the virtual lessons. But, he recorded his voice and his powerpoint during lectures. I went home and reviewed his powerpoint at home. It helped me a lot to cover the materials and then I get interested in learning. I could see everything that I have missed during lectures. The director had marked with a red pen (underlined, circled...etc). 
It was easy for me to learn in that way and I was glad to see things that I could not catch during lectures. 
Therefore, I thought it would be great if I can have use the technology in my classroom for those who have been absent/need extra help.
