Another interesting chat session - a community began developing with participants keen to share knowledge.
I have just finished delivering a lesson where I couldn't operate the video player and had to ask a student for assistance. I am definitely not in the category of a "Digital Native" and although can happily blog I can't operate a video player - go figure!
But what to do when technology fails as it did for many participants as we attempted to move into the virtual classroom during our online chat session? In the "good old days" if you broke your stick of chalk you could just dictate your notes to your students or more commonly send a student to the office to get a replacement stick! Lectures are cancelled in my workplace if the globe in a data projector needs replacing.
Is technology really necessary to deliver quality programs to our students and just because the students now coming through into the TAFE sector would be considered to be "Digital natives" do they really gain more knowledge if the material is delivered (and in many cases assessed) online?

Hi Joanne
Love the page. I was wondering are you having any trouble when you re enter you're site. When I go back to mine the tabs in the top right hand corner-are sometimes only Create a Blog and log in and not dashboard and customise? If I want to change the blog I need that customise button. Sometimes it appears and other times not. Are yu having this problem or am i doing something wrong?
Hi, I will leave copy this message onto your blog but just in case you can't get in put the message here aswell - what a web we create by blogging!
To post on your blog (or any others) you will need to login first, therefore when you first go to the site you will only get the login and create buttons.
After I login I have always got access to the customise buttons so not sure what your prob. could be.
Maybe the prob could be going to your blog via blackboard? I am having problems with the links to blogs on blackboard especially now that Ted has "feeds" from various blogs to his.
Good luck!
