I am getting ready to provide another training session for 7-12 teachers on NXT LEGO robotics. I have done several sessions before and they are usually a lot of fun. As part of an assignment in MDDE610, I am thinking of ways to offer the training over the web to reach more teachers across Newfoundland and Labrador.
Moodle would be great for creating a course but the reality is that teacher workloads are heavy and there would have to be some sort of incentive to motivate teachers to participate. Can I replicate the hands-on, practical, and interactive sessions I do in the f2f environment in the online environment? If you would like to offer your opinions and advice, I'm eager to hear them.

Dear Thomas,
My son took a week long course in Lego Robotics at the Science Center -- f-t-f. However my son (age 15 now but 13 at the time) loves computers and I think the computer labs at the space and science centers would be very interested in running this technological version. The lego CDs that my son loved to play when he was younger were a big hit. Now -- the time factor for teachers. I think the lessons could be made interactive in small groups, like they were in the f-t-f lessons. That was fun -- the competitions between groups. Jo Ann
I do teach LEGO robotics in my course in groups and have a competition. Most of my students enjoy it and learn a lot using problem solving. I enjoy teaching it and it is a hands-on activity so it really engages students.
The most important limitations/constraints I face is time. I teach tech for 2 periods in a 7 day cycle for half the year. I also have to teach 2 other units as well. A common complaint from us tech teachers is that we face an overloaded curriculum and have to make choices about what we teach and what outcomes we want to accomplish.
Thanks for the comments.

The Reasons To Buy Authentic Designer HandbagsRoddy JonesFrom the streets of major cities to the pages of online auction sites, replica designer handbags are literally everywhere.

The organization doesn't use assembly lines; only one craftsperson may focus on one handbag at a time, hand-stitching each individual piece. On account of the labor-intensive nature of LV production solutions and the usage of rare materials, sometimes including exotic skins as well as precious metals, one bag can take 18 to 24 hours to create.
