What a difference a week makes. I just discovered that I’m going to be teaching an online language class again sooner rather than later. POTCERT is suddenly no longer just about theory.

Jim Sullivan encouraged us, “better to be late than never.” so I’m posting my week-four blog posting on Sunday night. I decided to take a shortcut and recorded in Dragon using my iPod saving me the trouble of typing it all out. Also trying to take a lesson from Alan Levine and not editing to the point I never get it posted.

I guess the one big thing that I’m taking away from this week’s reading in the textbook is the idea to use slides with audio. I’ve always thought in terms of posting audio files or videos but never really considered using an animated PowerPoint with recording. So that’s something new I’m going to try to prepare for my upcoming language class.

I also attended that Cris Crissman’s YA Lit.class at the Bookhenge in Second Life this past Thursday. Very interesting and enjoyable experience. Cris is doing really great job of teaching online.  Hope I can get to be that good someday.  Obviously you have a lot of experience and really enjoy what you doing.
