Teaching & Practice Experts prompt E-learning Questions

Anatomy of a Lesson - Group Work and Feedback | Teachers TV

Nice video showing claimed teaching and practice experts critiquing a young teachers lesson. They have some interesting comments to make regarding lesson planning, instruction, feedback, knowledge banking. These experts seem to be very clear on what a good lesson entails. I think its a useful question to ask, are the qualities of a good reality classroom lesson applicable to virtual/electronic lessons? Group feedback, criticism and knowledge banking? What roles do these have to play? Real interaction with authoritive/knowledgeable figure, fact-to-face discussion & negotiation. Clearly not all the important skills that are learned in classrooms and schools can be learned by a child interacting with a computer. What skills is there cross-over? For what skills can better learning be facilitated by technology?
