Using Elluminate In International School Partnerships


my notes from the session:

58 participants

3 activities:
wordsearch - made it on a free tool, turned into powerpoint, can see who is interacting
map - accessible initially by teacher only, then one person at a time - drag and drop countries
group work - put into a breakout room, each room has a task on the whiteboard, have 3 min to complete task

moderator - 
Heather Clevenger
speakers - 
Val Brooks
Mike Damiano

computer froze - someone took over - she logged out and back into another computer - nice trouble shooting


wow.. can get a room even if your school doesn't use elluminate
sign up as individual - get your own vroom

then when student collab - that's when institution may go through a license
