Attend a Live Webinar

The webinar that I attended was on Thursday, April 18^th at CB South.  Several business teachers attended a live webinar about a Financial Literacy computer simulation.  A representative from Everfi, Andrew Porter contacted me several weeks ago about setting up a Web meeting.  I thought this was perfect to find out about the software and also attend a Live Webinar. 

Andrew scheduled the meeting and we all sat together in one room and listened and watched the computer screen.  The Webinar went well.  He introduced the software, which included (8) modules on Financial Literacy.  He had a presentation that we looked at on the screen and he also logged in to show us how easy it was to use.  We also used the audio features to ask him questions about how this could work for our business students.  I liked the format of the meeting.  We were able to see the program and he also was able to change what we saw on the screen based on our questions.  I would participate in another meeting like this, because I am able to both see and hear responses to questions.

I like this format for students.  Possibly a Webinar or chat session could be used once or twice a week for students who are struggling with a class and/or homework assignments.  The webinar is helpful because the meeting can be customized to the needs of the participants and the presenter.
