Collaborative Project #3

Well our Collaborative Project is now done, and in my opinion it was a great success. Everything went smoothly, we didn’t have any technology errors/problems and we managed to keep it in the time period we had to present, so overall I think it went quite well!

We presented our project yesterday (April 12^th). To start off with Joni and I had Dean set us up an Elluminate session as we thought that would be interesting to use, as Jennifer’s students had never used it before, as well as it is handy to go through a power point presentation. We had previously sent Jennifer the link to allow her students to join the Elluminate so that everything was set up and ready to go!

Once Jennifer and all the students present had made it on to the Elluminate Jenn Skyped in with Joni and I and we introduced ourselves to the class. Jennifer had wanted us to talk a little bit about ourselves and where we are from but to make sure we had enough time to present the project we had decided we might try and find a day later on to Skype in and talk to the class.

Then the presentation began! We began our power point presentation on Elluminate Joni and I were on the same computer so we took turns going through our presentation and stopping to watch the videos and answer/ask questions that the students had. They didn’t have mics so they couldn’t use the microphone to talk to us, but they used the comment box on the side which worked!

As I previously said we had sent Jennifer the links ahead of time, as we had talked to her and decided that she would play the three videos we had on the big screen in their computer lab, so that it was set up and ready to go. These are the videos we got he to play:

Here is our power point we made for the project, as well as the recording we did in Elluminate! Feel free to take a look!

As the students class period was almost over, Jennifer told Joni and I that she would get some feedback from the students and let us know what they thought! I am excited to see what they thought of our presentation!
