Student evaluation• It was incredible,
Its just so different from what is normal here. I probably would of never found any of that out if it wasn’t for that presentation!
• That was soo cool! it was real awesome of the cool things i (and everyone) learned, I think i’m gonna do some research on more later…
• i really liked the fact that we were actually talking to her. not just in email. i thought all the pictures she showed were pretty sweet. also, i thought it was cool how we are used to different surroundings and habbits.. yes, we dont say put your bookbag in the boot… i still find it awsome, though. i love australia so much! (not to mention thier accents!)
• I thought that was so cool, for anyone who missed that, I wish that they could have seen it!
• that was an EXCELENT, presentation. I LOVED IT.it was very interesting, and i think that getting to learn chineseis a very diffrent thing then what we learn here.THANK-YOU SO MUCH. :

![Page 31: Innovations Showcase Virtual Classroom Collation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bdf55e4a795946588b45fe/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Teaching and learning findings
Slides can be used in similar ways to any Power Point presentation
Have used story telling (picture story books) – scanned images with reading text for critical literacy
Images can promote discussion Student interaction through text or image
response on white boards Hand-up function allows students to respond at
the point of need or interest Use of symbols to show emotion Capacity to turn on and off tools can be an asset
![Page 32: Innovations Showcase Virtual Classroom Collation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bdf55e4a795946588b45fe/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Promoting interactivity and discussion
Use of polling Use of either statements, stories or pre-
reading (e.g. case studies) Use in conjunction with LMS- material for
pre-reading posted Use of scanned images Document sharing used in conjunction
with breakout rooms- found to be better as pre or post reading
![Page 33: Innovations Showcase Virtual Classroom Collation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bdf55e4a795946588b45fe/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Use of breakout rooms
Can be effective for sharing experiences (social)
Small groups can be directed to agree on a consensus opinion within a given time
Can be used in conjunction with pen and paper (oral reporting back) or the white board for summary
Ensures that all students speak- some are reluctant in a bigger group
