Workshop Four, 2 July 2008

Tonight we are following our own interests.  I am looking forward to experimenting with the Smartboard, and the vRoom when two or three other library staff and myself visit the LTC on Thursday. 

Followup – The Library team enjoyed the Smartboard, and feel that it would be helpful in getting students hooked into a session.  Cost is a problem, and the purchase will have to be part of the budget for next year.  In the interim we’ll try to get the Notepad software pushed to our computers, or the computer in the Smart Centre, so we can experiment with that.

I also attended an impromptu presentation of Wimba, which looks great for teaching in a virtual classroom, allowing multiple connections, and lots of interaction – even screen sharing.  I can see that it would be helpful for talking to off-campus students, and demonstrating searches with them – or sitting in my office and demonstrating something to a class in a lecture theatre!
