Live Web Sessions
During the online short course, participants meet live online with the course instructor
and NSTA staff for 90-minute sessions where they can ask questions, share ideas
for discussion, and interact with the presenters’ PowerPoint presentation using
mark-up tools available in the web sessions’ software.
To assure you of a pleasant experience during the live web sessions, the first few
minutes, of the 90-minute program are dedicated to training and review to give you
time to get acquainted with the interactive tools. If during the live web session
you experience problems, a live web session technical support person will assist
you. All live web sessions are recorded for viewing after the live program has occurred.
Throughout the 90-minute live session you will have the opportunity to interact
with the presenters in several ways. You can speak to the presenters using your
computer microphone. To speak via the computer you must use a headset. A computer
headset including a microphone and headphones may be available at computer and/or
electronic stores in your area. You can communicate with the presenters and other
participants via the direct messaging window. Private communication as well as communicating
with the entire class is possible. The presenters will also provide many interactive
slides, like poll questions, multiple choice questions, word problems, etc., where
participants will use the software’s "mark-up" tools to respond.
