eJournal 6



I will be using video, for one, based on affordances.  Instructing other teachers who hold the same position I do, makes me feel a need to show my classroom in action early in the presentation.  Anyone can state they are doing a great job or claim they have extensive knowledge in a subject area, but showing this expertise is much more effective.  Since it is not feasible for these teachers to see my classroom in action themselves (especially since the training is during the summer), video is the next best method.  

In addition, I am planning to use a real-time polling program (most likely polleverywhere) to quickly assess how comfortable my audience is prior to moving on.  I will also use a real-time response software for questions the audience is not comfortable asking aloud.   I have not previously utilized these types of programs, however since this is a one time, short time span class, I feel these would add value to the course.
