    Course Topic: Managing topics and the site
    Comment: My students were asked to open accounts and attempt one course of their personal interest. Then, in Collaborise Classroom I have opened an account and prepared 2 discussions for them to investigate tomorrow. I added the one created by this teacher, about A Day in the Future? and we will use it as a walk through. My ultimate goal, is to use the CC/ as a step toward having students blog. If they are unable to, we'll just use this Board. Great Instruction. I backed up and replayed and created my site all at the same time. Except for my lousy streaming, it ws awesome. I'm going to do more of these! I have set up my next two weeks for my Communication class. They struggle with interactive learning. This is better than blogging for them!
