[Nfb-krafters-korner] An idea for classes online...

Joyce,

The first question is what is allowed. Some areas that can be classes also 
can be a simple directional post to the group. Because there seems to be so 
much confusion, nobody knows what to do or not to do. I won't develop a 
class till this stuff is decided. I'm not taking time to develop and then be 
told that I'm not allowed to do that whatever that is.

An example is that I proposed the idea of posting to the list material so 
all could have access even those in different time zones or schedules. I got 
that I could maybe do this or that but not a single encouragement. I feel 
that I need to be whole group inclusive and not exclusive as I'm perceiving 
the situation. Please list out the guidelines for all teaching material so 
that I and the group can go forward.

Greg

Do we have any teachers out there that can do this?

or Do we have any people out there that can help a teacher to do  this?

I don't know much about this and I would like to know if you know how to do
things with these suggested areas.

that  would be entirely up to the teacher to design the class any way they
would  like. I am just putting out some possibilities that some teachers
may
like  to grab onto to create something that would give additional ways to
conduct a class.  I think the website, FAce Book, You Tube, and  conferece
calls all could be used in creative ways for any teacher who  wants to
explore them. Lynda
