I watched a webinar called "The Mouse Pad Traveler" which was all about creating travel plans using the internet. It was hosted by a man name Tome Peters and he did a very basic overview of participating in a webinar before he began his actual webinar. I think online meeting and webinars can be very useful. Not everyone can just drop everything and travel anywhere in the world to attend a seminar. However, this becomes less of an excuse with webinars because you can go anywhere in the world to attend a seminar about anything without even leaving you home or office. I see a lot of potential for this technology over the next 10 years. I think about how much Skype has taken off in people's personal lives so it only makes sense to me that people in their professional lives attend more webinars.
I agree. Webinars are more convenient so that's just bound to become they way of life!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the advancement of webinars in schools. Our school uses webinars quite frequently for professional development. I think it is a great tool with a great deal of potential.
ReplyDeleteThis was the first time I watched a webinar, and I agree with you. I can see them really taking off. I hope to see my district start using webinars!-Darci
ReplyDeleteWebinars would be a great way to keep the expenses down for a district as well. You can show the webinar to teachers rather than paying the price of inviting someone to come and speak to your district.
