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.

Elluminate Live

Wow, what an eyeopener this Elluminate Live has been. I really can't think of too many con's except we may have technical issues from time to time. It's really nice to be able to take this class no matter where you are or what you look (or feel) like. You can interact with your fellow classmate at the touch of a button and should you miss a class it's very easily made up at your convenience. This experience has made me want to not only take more online classes but to also venture new ways to teach my own class....the wheels are turning as I type! The only other con I can think of is not being able to give my wonderful classmates and instructors hugs more often.

Donna I believe you and I feel the same way about Elluminate Live. I really like being home and I like the idea that I can sign up anywhere and still be present for class. I do like the personal interaction among classmates. But that is not a major concern for me. Being able to be home with my daughter is more important to me than actually sitting in a classroom. The only drawback is the few times there are technical difficulties. Overall I like elluminate live.
