We facilitated the discussion today for our class on Rethinking Chapter. We needed to watch our "uhms" and to make sure our directions were clear, but overall we did really well. I'm proud that we thought of a unique idea of how to have our peers communicate with one another. Because of the weird class layout, we weren't always able to see everybody very well but all in all I think we did a good job.
After debriefing, we looked at webinars. I've heard about them before but I never really knew how they worked. They actually seem like an incredibly useful tool. It's something that I think would make online classes much more enjoyable and interactive then they tend to be. We then discussed our podcasting assignment. We can look at articles for inspiration to discuss but they have to relate to students who are PK-12, not older. Dr. Boyer told us how beneficial it will be to use to have a script written up in order to do our podcasts (and screen casts) and to not just "wing it" when we do the recording. We then went over the homework for the next week. Some of the items aren't due for awhile but I think I'll try to get them done anyways. It's going to be a busy weekend. :)
