This online workshop is an opportunity organised by the Enabling e-Learning and Virtual Professional Development (VPLD) communities.

Join us to explore:

• what to think about when designing your courses - how do we help our students bring and use their own knowledge and prior learning?
• examples from schools where students have been enabled to reflect and manage their own learning.

NOTE: This webinar builds on an earlier session organising in VPLD; you are welcome to access this first part but do not need to have done so to attend this sesson: Part 1: Engaging reluctant learners, with Clarrie Yates.

The meeting will be facilitated in Adobe Connect: http://connect.vln.school.nz/vpldsessions/ 

If you haven't used Adobe Connect before it would be a good idea to give it a go beforehand and experiment. This video shows you exactly how to do it, and how to use Adobe Connect once you get in there, so I would highly recommend you watch it: http://ellinzproject.blip.tv/file/4386660/. (Please note that this is a video that was made for the ELLINZ ESOL students so it is a little slow, but shows really clearly  how to access and use Adobe Connect, including how to login as a guest, how to talk, and how to use the whiteboard).

GETTING TO THE ADOBE SESSION:
The link to Adobe will open at 3.15pm on the day and you should pop in in advance of the session to test your gear. Also:
- Please have your headset at hand
- Please don't have the "Talk" button clicked when you are not talking
- Please contact Hazel (hazelowendmc) directly via SKYPE chat if you have any on the day issues...

Please RSVP by the 14th July by filling in the sign up sheet. Thanks.
