Webinars working wonders
Well, perhaps not wonders, but they're working! We've been very pleased with the interest in the Spring 07 webinar series. A number of our fellow Tech Council members have participated, asking good questions and exploring ways we can use this tools to expand virtual learning opportunities for students and staff.
Yesterday Brian Czapla faciltated a session on Anapod Explorer, a tool he uses to manage audio and video podcast content on his pc. Two intersting observations:
1. we discussed this at our January Tech Council meeting, and actually pulled it off!
2. one of the participants - a TC member - won the dedication award as she had to leave her office half way through the session, and continued listening and asking questions via cell phone in her car. Now if only the students were that comitted to their learning...
We've been surprised at the number of folks, teachers and also some non-educators who have asked the question, What is a webinar? To help answer that question, we will schedule a session simply to discuss the webinar format, avaialble tools, process, technical requirements etc.
Contact me if you have a question.
