I've seen presenters at online events who have said at the start "I won't be looking at the chat box" and I've seen ones who have been distracted by it and lost the flow of the presentation while answering comments. However, I've also seen people admirably and seamlessly respond to the comments as they come up! An acquired skill I guess. :)DaveDodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896292275243412346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338834914703775055.post-82032297294534638642010-11-21T04:16:47.108+02:002010-11-21T04:16:47.108+02:00Hi Dave!

And I'm glad our presence made you relax a bit - I know that feeling well. Having a familiar face, be it a former student in a new group or a fellow teacher at a presentation helps with the butterflies.<br /><br />Now, with pleasantries out of the way, let's get to the feedback. I think your presentation was truly interesting. As a teacher who works in a school where the evaluation is done through portfolios, where reflections are the core of it, I got a lot of insight from your presentation - especially because, as you know, I don't have much experience with young learners. It was great listening to your experience and how you work with self-assessment with children. The slides were great (great highlight for the modeling one!!! Do I sense a career shift? LOL) and the pace of the presentation was also very good. you kept things interesting and dynamic, no time to get bored. Kudos for it!<br /><br />The only thing I can think of suggesting for a next time (which I hope there'll be many, for it's the easiest way for me to take part in your presentations ;-)) is that you could have looked more at the chat box, interact more with what we were saying about it, the questions and comments that were being made. You did some of that towards the end, but maybe if you had done that throughout the presentation it would have been nice. I can imagine how hard it is to do everything and still remember to look at the chat box :-) Practice, practice, practice eh?<br /><br />Thanks for the presentation and for sharing here. :-)<br />Cheers!<br /><br />CeciliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338834914703775055.post-89229687992902007342010-11-18T16:25:54.641+02:002010-11-18T16:25:54.641+02:00Isil - Thanks for the comments.

Hopefully, in the future we'll all be able to use such things more easily. :)<br /><br />Marisa - Thanks to you as well for contributing to the pre-session discussion. Your comments were useful in illustrating my points. Keep your students reflecting!DaveDodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896292275243412346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338834914703775055.post-83978933792262580942010-11-18T13:39:46.203+02:002010-11-18T13:39:46.203+02:00Hello David!

Assessment is essential in the learning-teaching process.<br />I also use my students' comments as to the classes (What I've learnt/What I've liked/What I haven't liked) as assessment of my classes and it's proved really helpful. <br />Regards,<br />Marisa (@Mtranslator)Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736975192139538502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338834914703775055.post-52171045105666660682010-11-18T13:39:40.359+02:002010-11-18T13:39:40.359+02:00Hi Dave,

It is a great presentation and also nice to read your comments on it. I believe it would be good to use the webcam for the speaker and the participants, thus everybody could observe expressions on faces, which could help for immediate interaction.<br /><br />Isil BoyIŞILhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005130428078909031noreply@blogger.com
