Interactivity in class

Doing class like we are, it is really an interesting experience as the teacher is not here and we are linked to each other by MSN messenger. Therefore, it changes many things since each of us talks individually to the teacher and the other classmates can hear what one is saying . Thus, we must concentrate only on the conversation with the teacher and make abstraction of the others. Furthermore, the fact that the teacher is not in class does not really change things as people know they have a work to do in a certain lapse of time and do it. But anyway, I thing by using these technologies, we have to go straight to the point especially in an oral communication because you have to be very precise and clear.
And finally, I have got the impression that it strenghtens the relations or at least mutual aid between classmates as we use MSN messenger to ask questions to the others whereas in a typical class, we will probably not dare to do it or be allowed to.
It is interactive since the teacher can see almost in live what we are doing and survey the time we are taking for answering questions. If we have a question we ask it to the teacher by using MSN messenger so the other classmates can benefit also from the answer.
