Jo Hart (from C.Y O’Connor College of TAFE) and I have been running free online professional development every Friday since 31 October from 9-10 AM (Perth, Western Australia time). Anyone can join us and each week we cover different topics based on input from the participants.
This Friday’s topic is techniques for making Live Classrooms such as Elluminate more interactive. Both Jo and I have been using Elluminate for several years with our distance learning students. Elluminate is also really good for hosting meetings. You can get your own free Vroom here which is handy when you want to hold discussions or doing training with a small number of people.
I’ve set up a Google Calendar for this PD and will be adding online PD/Conferences to the calendar as they are brought to my attention. If you would like to attend our PD and be automatically notified please subscribe to our calendar. Google Calendar will automatically converts our time zone to your time zone. Read this post to learn more about using Google Calendar to make your life easier.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I will be writing up a review of what was covered in the last two sessions — soon!
This online PD session is free for anyone to attend. Please leave a comment:
