Post your reflections regarding your experience as an online facilitator. In your blog, address the synchronous and asynchronous experiences separately. Consider your expectations and fears. How did you prepare? Did you apply a different technique as the week progressed? Was it successful? Were you surprised by anything, pleasantly or otherwise? Has this experience changed your perspective on facilitation? And so on.
Prior to facilitating my first session, I hadn't attended any live sessions for this class. In the previous course, I attended a live Wimba session. For this course, I had only listened to sessions after they had taken place. Week 7 came pretty quick but I had a great partner in Cherron Byrd-Smith. We worked together and prepared for our joint facilitation. It wasn't until the day of the facilitation that we found out that we could not cover both weeks at the same time. Since we had no time to redo our presentation, we proceeded with the facilitation and everything went well.
I began the facilitation
The weeks were broken up by spring break and our instructor asked if anyone wanted to facilitate week 2 for extra credit. I volunteered.
I facilitated the two weeks in unit 7 of the course which dealt with understanding course management systems and navigating the technological aspects in creating and facilitating online courses.
