Ellumination

I got to be a test subject as my teacher learned Ellumination. She did great and showed me all around the sites and tools she uses. The tool itself seems fairly straight forward, but providing many features. With microphones you can have a conversation via computer, you can go through tutorials with a student or use the whiteboard to allow them to write work or examples and for you to interact on the board. Ellumination can be used 1 on 1 or for large groups, like our initial overview and welcome.

The Ellumination page at first was intimidating, but as my host teacher worked through and showed me all of the interesting features, it became relatively user-friendly and made a lot of sense. We tried using the microphone, and it worked very well. I sounds like we had similar positive experiences. Tomorrow I am going to listen in on a welcome call with a new student.
