Week #2 in CEDO 550

This week we looked at the differences in Synchronous and Asynchronous communication as it works in online education. We got a chance to see behind the curtain of Elluminate and run a couple of synchronous discussions on a few talking points.  This was useful to see what classroom skills translate into the world of online education and what does not.  I found that I rely on non verbal cues from my students to a great deal and need to consciously recognize that my students in an online setting will not be able to give this to me.  Instead I need to build upon the skills that are being talked about in this class to better serve my students in an online capacity.
