Any takers on Skype?

Task 2: Consult with your learning community in order to find time during Week 11 to present your videos synchronously.You will need to have downloaded Skype and created an account in order to be in voice contact with your group simultaneously while everyone watches the presentations.
During each presentation, members of your learning community can open individual blogs and move through the video as the video developer discusses his or her work. You can provide feedback and ask questions of the developer at this time. After the synchronous conversation, visit each member’s blog, watch his or her video a second time, critique the presentation, and provide feedback.

Module 5 Post




I am not teaching in a face-to-face classroom anymore so I am not extremely static but still envision myself as middle of the road between static and dynamic. The layers of technology I use are still predominantly static. In the classrooms, we have a math lab which is more dynamic with presentations and videos. but I do not design them. In another class, I have been fortunate since it is about learning Information Technology. I created a blog and a wikispace for the students. I can upload presentations, videos and weekly guidance. The weekly guidance is static in that it is a Word document or printed text; but the presentations and videos lean further towards the dynamic arena. I have not created any videos yet for this class but hope to do so in the future. I like it but wish I had more tools to accomplish a good video! The features of blogging and wiki spaces have not gone unnoticed either. It is a first for a lot of the students. They wanted to post on my blog!

This though is still a relative static experience. As Moller stated, “If you buy partially prepared food or a meal, you can make some choices about additional ingredients you might want to add to the dish. You come out with your own version of the meal, but it is based on your starter package.” I am still at the middle of the road in static-dynamic technologies.

I am trying to build a Second Life area for the class but it is slow going. Too much is going on right now! Wish me luck!
