I would highly recommend this course. I feel more confident that I can deliver a lesson without fumbling through the technology. I know my lessons will be more interactive and engaging for my students. A++
I had been using Elluminate for four years prior to this course, and in the first 1/2 hour I was already wowed!
I agree that one can use Elluminate in a bare bones way, but after this class, a teacher will be able to lead with more bells and whistles. More importantly I've learned ways that my students can use the program. I very much agree what can be done in a bricks and mortar can be achieved in Elluminate.
The way to prepare students to compete in a global economy is to first prepare our educators. That’s why ongoing professional development is critical, and honing online teaching skills should be a key component of any continuing education program. Our unique Elluminate Teacher Certification Program enables participants to create learner-centric online classrooms that increase student achievement and satisfaction as well as contribute to the development of a 21st century learning environment
