But the sessions didn't really get off the ground-see my next post, Clare, for reflection on that.Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-27228210688911908952008-02-03T14:55:00.000+11:002008-02-03T14:55:00.000+11:00So, how did the sessions go?

My school is a distributed learning school and students are working asynchronously. <BR/><BR/>The Elluminate sessions allow me to connect with the kids and for them to connect with each other. Because they are all at different points in their courses, I do a brief mini lesson, and then it becomes a discussion where we go over any questions they may have. I record the sessions and post them on the school website for students to refer back to and for students who couldn't attend. You can go <A HREF="http://www.sd67.bc.ca/schools/homelearners/Grades%208%20%2D%2010/ElluminateArchive.htm" REL="nofollow"> here</A> to see some past sessions. I'm still learning, and I don't always think very well on my feet, but for what it's worth you can take a look. <BR/><BR/>I also use Elluminate to tutor my students. This is especially helpful in math, where it is harder to discuss a question over the phone. We get on Elluminate and use the interactive whiteboard. The students who've bought in really love it.<BR/><BR/>I'd really like to hear how your explorations in Elluminate go. Best of luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
