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 Live

If you design a course using Elluminate Live, you would need to consider the timeframe involved. The first few meetings with the class would need to be practice sessions. This would be necessary in order to get the class familiar with the technology. This would include controlling the mic and the volume to get started. The class would also need to practice accessing and writing on the whiteboard. Activities should include group breakout sessions that incorporate utilizing the technology. Lectures appear to be very useful for this type of work. The learner reviews the presentation up close and personal. Also, saving the presentation or handouts for future use by the student is a huge plus to this new technology.

It does take several sessions to begin to feel comfortable using the technology. There is definitely a learning curve that has to be considered. There seems to be alot to learn regarding this type of technology. I like your idea about saving the presentations and handouts for future use. Practicing on the whiteboard is another idea I like.; February 8, 2009 at 10:48:00 PM EST
