1. Look at the brief description of 5 techniques for organising interaction in a classroom. How well do you think they'd work online? Post your comments on at least 2 of them to the e-tivity 3 conference.
q Technique 1 - rounds: everyone takes a turn to speak their questions, statement or opinions. Contributions tend to be short. Often used as a pre- or warm-up activity
As a face to face technique is wonderful, an excellent warm up, but I fail to see how it could work online as one would like, there are means like chat rooms or forums in which it could be use but only to some extent (especially if the class is big), and could kill completely the reason behind the creation of distance learning everyone working on their own time unless they have a great spawn of time, also their questions and statement should be increased.
q Technique 5 - buzz groups: sub-groups of 3 or 4 students discuss something for a short time, perhaps before or during a teacher presentation or before an activity.
This one can work excellent on an e-course, the students can be divided in groups, and do the discussion before a activity can presented, the major advantage it has to round technique is that this one is not affected if there is a great number of learners, they all will work on small groups and can choose among then when to work.
Post ONE idea for another technique that could be used online, explaining why you think it would work
Show and tell: it could be adapted to be used in many different subjects: like they can be asked to use a certain type of tense, or to check how proficient are in writing. The only way I see they can use it in the traditional way could at recording, but that would heavily depend on the teacher.
