Dear participants,
Thank you for joining me today. Usually this post would be a 'comment' attached to the post for the session in the Course Group, but as this course only has one session, this post also acts as the 'round up' summary.
For your information, I have attached the Remote PDE Facilitator Guidance (which is NOT usually shared with participants). It is much lighter than a usual PDE, but may help you relate what you see in the Course Group and Adobe Connect session.
Further support:
- Sign up for a drop-in slot (new ones added each week, standard options are Monday 10am, Wednesday 2pm, Friday 1pm) - practice using the Adobe Connect tools and get support on other tools.
- Videos (will continue to be updated this week and next).
- Facilitator FAQs (lifted from the text chat transcript of sessions so far).
As mentioned, you are all great facilitators. Don't let the bells and whistles of technology get in the way of the participant experience. At the end of the day, you have slides for live session, your subject knowledge and teaching expertise, and a text chat box to communicate with participants. Use that 'live' time together well to prompt participants to think, contribute and learn from each other. Use the Course Group to sustain engaement, create participant tasks and use that space for sharing ideas and learning from each other too.
Good luck and enjoy the experience!
Best wishes,
Matt

There was mention of a drop in session yesterday on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, to have a familiarisation session using Adobe Connect. How do I go about getting on to one of these sessions? Vanessa
