FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).

This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!

Blog Post - Week 7

This past week in my own teaching I felt a little disconnected which prompts my question to you, "What was the moment (or moments) when I felt most disconnected or disengaged as a teacher - the moment(s) I said to myself, I'm just going through the motions here?"

Elluminate Drafting Style

I will start off by saying; I think that a CTAE course would be one of the most difficult curriculums to conduct an Elluminate course in. Due to the fact that there is so much hands on exploration that takes place in our classrooms. For example, in Engineering Drawing & Design we deal primarily with CAD programs and the introductions of different views of objects. I would have to make certain all students had direct access to the CAD software I was introducing. Also, to be certain that the PowerPoint used in Elluminate had video capabilities. This way I could demonstrate the content area and they could download the video and have it on hand for future references. If not, I could learn more about the screen share command that Dr. Burns used in class this pass Monday. By letting the students have a visual of the exercise assigned, I feel I could demonstrate the use of the program well enough they could complete the assignment on there on. I’m confident enough in my abilities as well as the software utilities I could come up with something.

Lori said...: I agree that as a technology teacher we could face some problems with Elluminate. I have found the course work on Monday nights to be similar with some of the coursework that I teach via the computer. I think that it could be helpful with the editing portions of the classwork. However, in agreement with you, that would leave other portions untouched and not capable of exploring via the internet. (i.e.hands on camera work); February 8, 2009 at 12:07:00 AM EST
Joe Westbrook said...: We do have many problems to over come with our CTAE students if we wre to use Elluminate. Your area could be adapted to Elluminate and used a lot. You have the resources that a auto lab does not have. I could use it to teach a guided program with power point. It would be a good demonstration in some subjects such as job interviews and application processing. The use of this technology is not above my students, but would be a challenge.; February 8, 2009 at 10:00:00 AM EST
