This week we compared Elluminate and Adobe Connect and their value as online teaching tools. Our group found these two programs to be very similar, with the exception that Adobe Connect can be used with various media devices and Elluminate doesn’t seem to be able to. Both have interactive whiteboards, conferencing, break out rooms, etc.
We also compared various learning resources such as polling programs, cartoon creators, etc. As usual some of these are interesting but come up with questionable material on the home page making them inappropriate for school. This week I noticed we are looking at some programs we already looked at in previous courses. At first I thought it was strange, but when I got to thinking about it I thought it was by design. Every week we look at so much material that only a few really stick with me. However, the more I’m exposed to the same programs the more it will stick with me and become part of my repertoire and go to programs. It’s amazing how many programs are available; it really is hard to keep up with all the resources available. My favorites are the free programs especially in lieu of recent events with our educational system.
