Hi everyone,

Now that you have had your first experience with videoconferencing, let's reflect a bit on what you've learned about the "art and strategies of videoconferencing" and how they will affect your KC3 presentation.

In your KC3 groups, discuss the following and then post your thoughtful and thorough responses:
  1. Describe 5 signs of a good videoconference
  2. Describe 5 strategies for a successful videoconference
  3. What is the impact for each of your presentation elements?
    • website
    • powerpoint
    • video
    • interactivity



Be sure to post all of your group members' names in your post.

This is the Invasive Alien Species Group.
Here is our response :)

1. Five signs of a good videoconference
*Participation of your audience
*They can hear you and you can hear them (audio works) :)
*There is a sense of good communication between the 2 groups
*audience learns from group that is presenting
*everyone in the group is well prepared

2. Five strategies for a successful videoconference
*train the person who is navigating the camera, so that the video is easy to watch (not jerky & too fast/slow)
*contact everyone to make sure everyone is on time for the actual conference
*have all necessary materials ready (know where it is)
*practice what you are going to say, and when (memorize your lines)
*have a back-up plan, keep cool when things don't go as planned

3. the impact for....
website- shows specific examples of some invasive species, and some basic background information on them

powerpoint- about showing facts and statistics about declining native species caused by invasive species, more about intruding insects.. some plants, intro to biodiversity

video- alien vs. invasive, interviews on land/aquatic animals and plants, most invasive species to hawaii

interactivity- review biodiversity. How can you tell there is biodiversity in an area (show an example?)?
possibly act out a food chain process (props)
ask some examples of biodiversity there...

Describe 5 signs of a good videoconference:

1. All the people in the videoconference are participating. (We all were involved in the videoconference and took part in it)
2. We learn something new about them, and how they live. (Vise versa)
3. All of us are willing to share. (Like cultures, customs, and ideas)
4. All of us are willing to try new things. (EX: Maine learning how to make spam musubi.)
5. Having educational interactivities. (Arts and crafts, dance, and food.)

Describe 5 strategies for a successful videoconference:

1. Make sure there is good communication between the students.
2. Everyone is prepared for the videoconference.
3. Lines are memorized (You know what to say)
4. Lei making materials are present for examples and the activity.
5. Everyone in your group should be present and on time.

What is the impact for each of your presentation elements?:

WEBSITE - Gives more thorough information about our group's topic and gives better examples.
POWERPOINT - Sums up everything (with facts) and gives the most important information.
VIDEO - GIves visual examples.
INTERACTIVITY - Give both of us the chance to learn in fun ways.

Describe 5 signs of a good videoconference
1. You can communicate effectively with both sides.
2. There's a lot of interaction with both sides.
3. We can see each other and what we're sharing clearly.
4. When we share something and ask them to copy us they copy us.
5. Our adjusting of the camera is smooth and easy on the eyes.
Describe 5 strategies for a successful videoconference
1. Making sure we have all the things we need for the conference.
2. Making sure we know what we're going to say.
3. Test the equipment to make sure its working.
4. Make sure we practice our presentation so we know what to move or what to change throughout the presentation and so its smooth.
5. Make sure we can see everything clearly.
What is the impact for each of your presentation elements?
o website
It can show proof of research or maybe links to websites where we got our research from.
o power point
It can show our research and information we got in a condensed version so it's easy to understand.
o video
It shows a good video of our interviews and places we went to get realistic research.
o interactivity
It helps them to understand better because they can actually try things themselves and do things hands on.
