This week during class we got the opportunity during a break out session to be the facilitator in elluminate. This was the first chance that I have had to be a teacher or facilitator online. I must say that it will take some getting used to just being able to monitor who has their hand raised, who is chatting in the text box, and who is speaking on the mic. I was impressed by my success for the first effort and I must say that I thought it was pretty easy to use even for a novice, but to reach a level at which I would be comfortable teaching would take some work. I am excited to explore the role of an virtual teacher, I do not know how that will apply to me in the future, but this is a good experience. If I cannot teach my current content online, maybe I will expand my horizons and teach something else online. This class is going well, I look forward to next week!
