synchronous chat session

How did you find that

It was the first experience I participated synchronous chat session especial for learning purpose. I was interesting because everyone just posted things for as long as they have posted.  This environment has a potential of not enhancing learning because we might came prepared however there is not room rather enough time for student to change their misconception.

was it very different to participating in a face-to-face classroom discussion? Share you views on this.
I don’t there not much different from face-to-face as in face-to-face people see what they charting with.

knowledge and skills as potential online facilitator

What knowledge or skills has had a strong influence in your teaching or training?
Learning theories and using different online tool.  Online learning environment is not perfect the same with face-to-face teaching.  It should be constantly evaluated so that can be improved.
 How has that contributed to your confidence as a potential facilitator online? Technology should not be the main focus, in other words it should not take over the learning process instead it should enhance the learning process.
