The application of this software is amazing, we in the classroom at NMC talked to a person in Washington State and another person in Kuwait at the same time. Both spoke on the benefits of using this technology for keeping in touch with family and friends but also the ability of bringing in a guest speaker and be interactive with this person.All that is required is that you be both online at the same time. If I had this technology I would definitely use this in the classroom, imagine if your students could actually talk to a world leader, a scientist, an astronaut or a student in a classroom a oceans away. They could share experiences about their culture and family life which I presume would mirror their own lives only miles apart.

Using Technology with Authentic Learning in a PBL Classroom

In researching Problem Based Learning, I found that this is a teaching and learning technique that is being used worldwide which is eye opening in that the students are ultimately held accountable for all learning contrary to a conventional classroom where a teacher is held responsible.I would like to give thanks to the University of California of Irvine and the University of Delaware for all the enlightening information in putting together my presentation.

This software allows you to upload and share your Powerpoint presentations online to a similar format as what you see on teachertube. The program was very simple to use and had different formats that left it up to your creativity as your limits. Upside was the ease and simplicity in using this program, downside was the registration requirements but thats just me. Some of my teammates had problems in uploading a newer version of the powerpoint but I think everyone was satisfied with their results.
