E-mentor Project Meeting 7 May 2012

We completed a fun ice-breaker using a dominant adjective starting with the first letter of our first name and posting on the whiteboard, eg Jezebel Jenny.

Christine then demonstrated how to use the program Quizlet and we spent 10 minutes creating our own quiz. this was a very worthwhile activity. We also reviewed how to link or embed into a wikispace.

Elluminate facilitator skills were embedded in the lessons with participants taking it turns to be the moderator. We learned how to Take Control, Application Share and set Timer

We also reviewed conducting a Poll.

Next time we are going to look at Google docs.

Really enjoyed the class and felt the time was well used.

E-Mentor Meeting - 16 April 2012

Lynne started off the meeting by asking the class (all two of us!) to participate in an ice breaker activity which was fun and gave us the opportunity to use some Blackboard tools.

We then discussed what whe had been working on and I shared that I had completed my first movie and two Jing tutorials (none of which would win an Academy Award) and without Christine's help I would have been stumped. Lynne asked me to put up the mvie and a Jing tutorial which I will do from home.

Unfortunately I was unable to get my microphone to work but as I was able to hear the dialogue and participate on the whiteboard I managed to keep up.

The class looked at creating an avatar using the Voki program.

The demonstration looked straightforward. I haven't had time to experiement yet but will be doing so to create a Tip of the Week avatar for our new Pines Learning on line course (Publisher).
