Pitfalls of FirstClass Conferences
• Students w/o laptops (broken or forgotten)
• Still need access to any digital material you may be using that particular day
• They must either share or you must have hard copies of the material available
• Academic integrity• If you encourage
students to upload their work (I do!), there is a greater temptation for students to “borrow” each others’ work

Conclusions
• Goals of reducing costs, back strain, tech integration, and increased student engagement largely achieved
• Pitfalls noted above can be solved through using a combination of Weebly, FirstClass, Quia, and Google Docs
• Noticed throughout the year that a handful of struggling students needed the security and organization of a textbook – be flexible!
