I am blown away.
Just led my Thursday night 'social tech in ed' class at JHU in Baltimore. Except, I'm sitting on a park bench in NYC.
Used Wiziq.
I was very skeptical at first, as I haven't had the best experiences using online-session software.
But this was seamless. And the students loved it.
We shared videos, had an ongoing backchannel, and were able to swap out mics for audio. I made it a public session, so we even had a teacher from India stop by and share ideas.
I strongly encourage you all to check out Wiziq... and regular readers know that's not something I say often.
Wood: mortising
-
a mortise without a tenon is a hole in the cosmic order, maybe... and maybe
a mortise is a poem of hope, writ in materials rather than words.
Loved your post especially because I work at WiZiQ :)
