Hello Richard,

I guess from the stand-point of someone who has taken online classes and has instructed using them, I find the more user-friendly, the better; interactive sites, where drawings are made, (such as demonstrating angles, acute, obtuse, etc.), or where feed-back or answers are given, are great learning tools; use of graphics to teach things is a spectacular teaching tool. I have found that when I review some suggested sites, I learn new ways of explaining things, or ways to make the explanation clearer in my own teaching. It seems the internet has a great future for teaching and is a great tool for teachers.


I wonder if you could tell us more, Richard, about what interactive tools you use and what you like about each one. I am familiar with Scriblink, http://www.scriblink.com/, a free, easy-to-use web-based, interactive real-time whiteboard. Do you use this? If so, for math? What (other) tools do you use?

Has anyone else in this discussion had experience using web-based interactive whiteboards for OPD (of any kind)? Are these "well-used and trusted PD tools", or new tools to explore, especially for OPD?

Thanks,

David
