Stepping Into the Virtual Classroom

28 May 2009

This one hour session offered some ways-in for educators who are interested in starting to use Virtual Classrooms in their own teaching and learning settings. During the session Carole McCulloch showed examples of different uses of virtual classrooms including school-led conferences, student focused events, and major conferences. In each of these there was discussion around how the virtual classroom was used, for what purpose, and what different facilitation styles and skills used in different sessions. This was followed by a facilitated discussion about how participants might use this technology in their own classroom or professional setting and the steps to take to do this.
