Tenth Class - Wed April 1

Online Students Find Their Voices

Today we have achieved a milestone…this is our tenth class using e-learning technology…to celebrate this momentous occasion representatives from both Canadore College and Contact North were on hand to present every student with a new state of the art laptop computer…did I mention today is April 1…Happy April Fools Day!

Nothing like a little AC DC music (Thunderstruck) to welcome students to class. It has become a tradition to have some tunes playing as students arrive for class…response appears to be positive…and today AC DC was a big hit.

To date this old dog has relied on text chat to communicate with online students…well it is past time to share the microphone…today began a new era…the online students found their voices. As the class unfolded, students chirped in with their comments and questions… and a few even discovered that once they had possession of the microphone they could also control the white board…and from their the world was theirs…
