<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello group,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">About two weeks ago I hosted an online presentation that did not go as well as expected. Although a dry-run of sorts occurred the actual product did not deliver as intended.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Basically, communication errors occurred from use of microphones, video feed not being accepted, and a video file not playing on other people's computers. Many nuts and bolts questions occurred, obscuring the objective of the discussion, "how do we use this technology to teach literacy?"</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It is important that I say Kentucky does not endorse any of the products used (cameras, software, pc, etc) I am using what bits and pieces I am able to.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So, in order to add focus to the discussion a web class is being opened in Kentucky's Virtual Campus for you to view. I am working on adding content. Currently there are two videos, a video of a class being introduced to technology, then another Camtasia production of me editing the video. I am doing further research into the use of Video Futures and intend to put several articles online relative to it, video modeling and video feed forward. From these sources I intend to build a discussion geared towards video use in literacy/virtual education.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If you have research/studies you think I might find interesting related to Video Futures and virtual education please feel free to forward it to me.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I will let the list serve know when the course is ready for your view, and when a discussion will be hosted.</FONT>
