Our guest speaker was Jonathan Finkelstein, the founder and President of LearningTimes, LLC and Executive Producer of The LearningTimes Network. Jonathan delighted us with an outstanding presentation and gave us bright ideas on how to use the Elluminate Virtual Room. It was not only a very pedagogical and interesting presentation, but also very fun. All attendees had the opportunity to interact by using the mic, writing on the chat box, using the board tools and much more.

We were delighted with Andy Pincon's presentation on Alado and about the community programs.<br /><br />Not only did we confirm once again how amazing his sessions are, but also it was interesting to see how he manages Alado as a virtual room.<br /><br />The presentation looked at many things including efforts to improve digital literacy, access to computers, and the recycling of computers. We were joined by a variety of speakers from different projects. The most amazing surprise was when Andy's daughter, Gaby, made a presentation about her school. As a skilled Alado moderator she wont the respect and admiration of our BaW audience.<br /><br />To see a recording of the session please visit:<br /><a href="http://www.digibridge.net/webheads/baw10/Feb42010/">http://www.digibridge.net/webheads/baw10/Feb42010/</a><br /><br />And our session page is here:<br /><a href="http://baw2010.pbworks.com/Live_session_alado" target="_blank">http://baw2010.pbworks.com/<wbr>Live_session_alado</a><br /><br />Thanks again to Andy and his speakers, also thanks to all our participants as well as our lovely coordinators Teresa and Dafne.<br /><br />And we would love to hear your comments on this online learning platform.<br /><br />Best wishes<br />Evelyn Izquierdo and Kat Urbaniak<br />Week 4 co-moderatorsUnknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661025946729639178.post-70915462325305012222010-02-03T12:25:00.000-08:002010-02-03T17:47:16.542-08:00Live session on WiZiQ<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator" align="left"><a style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; FLOAT: left; CLEAR: left; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em; cssfloat: left" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnKZa1ZyYuI_xG7fyj8HkjJjdIHcia6LZWLeeATOHw5Z41GfJ3foYQb-r5cWEYahwHgta3TM_VtEJUvvM95IXHll13XMBq-r25qLvzmIA1XhEqKGK_TToOMzm1o4uuZ7ma3xy4M5oallEj/s1600-h/tn_WiZiQeye.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img style="WIDTH: 302px; HEIGHT: 229px" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnKZa1ZyYuI_xG7fyj8HkjJjdIHcia6LZWLeeATOHw5Z41GfJ3foYQb-r5cWEYahwHgta3TM_VtEJUvvM95IXHll13XMBq-r25qLvzmIA1XhEqKGK_TToOMzm1o4uuZ7ma3xy4M5oallEj/s320/tn_WiZiQeye.jpg" width="318" height="262" kt="true" /></a></div><p>Dear Bawers,<br /><br />Yesterday we had our first live session for Week 4. It was about WiZiQ and its potential as a virtual classroom and/or learning environment. The session was offered by Evelyn Izquierdo, an ESP/EAP teacher at the School of Education of Central University of Venezuela, where distance education is offered. Since her school has a very low tech infrastructure, WiZiQ has become a powerful tool for her and her students. WiZiQ is free, easy to use, simple and effective when offering online classes. WiZiq provides a virtual room with many tools, such audio, voice, text chat, video and writing; besides, classes are recorded and the content can be shared publicly if wanted. WiZiQ is also excellent for videoconferences and meetings for teachers' organizations, among many other advantages.<br /><br />This session was a very exciting experience to those who visited a virtual platform for the first time, and a very nice opportunity to learn playing around with the board tools. If you didn't attend, you will find the recording of this interesting and informative session below. You will need a WiZiQ account to watch the recording. </p><p>Once you've learned on WiZiQ, we would like to know your thoughts and comments about the session and we would appreciate very much if you answer the following questions:<br /><br />1. How would you use this tool with your students?<br /><br />2. Would you feel comfortable moderating a session this way online? Why 'yes', why 'no'?<br /><br />3. What advantages and disadvantages do you see in the use of WiZiQ? Why?<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Visit the session page at: <a href="http://baw2010.pbworks.com/Live_session_Wiziq">http://baw2010.pbworks.com/Live_session_Wiziq</a><br /><br />Kat Urbaniak and Evelyn Izquierdo<br /><br />Co-Mods Week 4<br /></p><div style="WIDTH: 481px"><div align="left"><br /></div><br /><div style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px"><a href="http://www.wiziq.com/online-class/249940-exploring-wiziq-baw10-week-4" target="_blank">Exploring WiZiQ - BAW10 - Week 4</a> by <a href="http://www.wiziq.com/evelynizquierdo" target="_blank">Evelyn Izquierdo</a><br /><object id="player" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="481" height="407"><param name="_cx" value="12726"><param name="_cy" value="10768"><param name="FlashVars" value=""><param name="Movie" value="http://authorlive.wiziq.com/aliveext/EmbedauthorLIVE/authorlive.swf"><param name="Src" value="http://authorlive.wiziq.com/aliveext/EmbedauthorLIVE/authorlive.swf"><param name="WMode" value="Window"><param name="Play" value="0"><param name="Loop" value="-1"><param name="Quality" value="High"><param name="SAlign" value="LT"><param name="Menu" value="-1"><param name="Base" value=""><param name="AllowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="Scale" value="NoScale"><param name="DeviceFont" value="0"><param name="EmbedMovie" value="0"><param name="BGColor" value=""><param name="SWRemote" value=""><param name="MovieData" value=""><param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="1"><param name="Profile" value="0"><param name="ProfileAddress" value=""><param name="ProfilePort" value="0"><param name="AllowNetworking" value="all"><param name="AllowFullScreen" value="false"><embed src="http://authorlive.wiziq.com/aliveext/EmbedauthorLIVE/authorlive.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="sessionkey=940CA2F59BCE4E0E8981CF97DEAFC9EA" allowscriptaccess="always" allownetworking="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="481" height="407"></embed> </object></div><div style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px">Get your own <a href="http://www.wiziq.com/Virtual_Classroom.aspx" target="_blank">Virtual Classroom</a></div></div>Evelyn Izquierdohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00563019495204776918noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661025946729639178.post-63372273166963795212010-01-27T09:25:00.000-08:002010-01-27T15:12:45.533-08:00Graham Stanley's Live Session<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkIvMvQGKWKsnVeHMO5mdsJvor9TJqGqrhPJVoRvZifITp4F6milWpeIEwYz9mzx6LuhZgl53pUyQPulbuMJdwo5TdLGlwADahhjN0gm0oF4eT-r3wm0O7onUBBeRQ63DRumKenRQ8kfc/s1600-h/graham6.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431482611560750674" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkIvMvQGKWKsnVeHMO5mdsJvor9TJqGqrhPJVoRvZifITp4F6milWpeIEwYz9mzx6LuhZgl53pUyQPulbuMJdwo5TdLGlwADahhjN0gm0oF4eT-r3wm0O7onUBBeRQ63DRumKenRQ8kfc/s200/graham6.JPG" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 158px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 200px;" /></a><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We had a wonderful session with Michael Coghlan at yahoo messenger today. We did have some technical glitches. Some members (I myself included) were kicked out of the session and some could not get in despite several efforts from my part and other colleagues to bring them in. However, this is also part of learning. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In the session Michael discussed the use of synchronous and asynchronous chat tools for teaching after briefly reviewing its historical context. During the presentation he got participants involved asking them to talk about their experience and their context. He also went a bit beyond the tools we have covered so far and talked a bit about other communication tools that are presently making and impact in the way we communicate and teach.</span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> It was a very lively session. Everyone participated asking questions or giving valuable contributions through text or voice chat. The grand finale came with Michael singing the <a href="http://webheadstheme.wikispaces.com/">Webheads Theme Song</a> . For information on participants, chat log, and slides to the presentation, please visit our <a href="http://baw2010.pbworks.com/Live-Session-with-Michael-Coghlan">wiki page</a> .

In week 2 of BaW10 we are exploring synchronous voice and text tools. In the last two days we have conducted text and voice chats with participants in Skype and Yahoo Messenger. We have also run some mini conferences with some participants. The feedback has been really positive and people who joined us were delighted at the possibility of exchanging ideas with colleagues in different parts of the world. <br />
We would like to know if you have used these tools and if you could share your experience/impressions with them with the group. <br />

It is also possible to have students interacting with their teachers via text-chat, files, whiteboard, links and discussions. How do you think Tapped In could be used as a pedagogical tool?
