The first YWCA Learnscope team Live virtual conference team was held on Wednesday 29th November... here are some screen captures and info from that session.

Any questions or comments please dive into the discussin tab above or make comments on this page :-) vivevans@hwy.com.au

Here is the text chat saved from the session.. this looks a bit strange as it is missing the voice that goes with it so at times one sided.. but you could use for minutes etc especially if questions, topics etc were listed in the chat as you went...

Some initial technical hitches sorting sound and voice... most overcome with the help of Geoff Kaye from Compued who manage [|DiscoverE virtual conference rooms.] This link will give you info, contacts and prices for DiscoverE.

We started off with a warmup activity... called 'The Ugs' where participants engaged in an activity that stretched the use of the tools in the whiteboard. Viv discussed the use of warmup activities for logging in on time.



We checked about ground rules and participants voted on the most important and shared why they voted for each rule and this generated discussion and explanations. This was also another opportunity for Vivian to demonstrate the use of whiteboards as a teaching tool.. this time without engagement on the screen by participants but highlighting rules discussed... as participants engaged in the direct messaging section and via voice.

After websurfing together this wikispace and looking at the Resources section the team brainstormed topics to include... amidst discussion and questioning.

At the end of the session it was time to reflect on the 1 1/2 hours whirl wind tour :-)
