e-Facilitator

Description:
“Talking about technology and having computers in classrooms does not automatically lead to a successful learning environment, nor does it lead to engagement.” Ntuli 2013. The lack of proper training and a toolbox of techniques create an online learning environment that becomes obsolete.

Impact
My role as an e-facilitator to effectively intertwine the components needed for the framework of a successful on line learning experience. As a Coordinator, Content Manager, Community Builder and Computer Consultant each position has a specific role but is intertwined to create a successful learning experience.

**Intent**
These roles coupled with a virtual presence, become a dynamic learning environment which engages students into to higher lever critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Dietz-Uhler & Lanter (2009) provided the most powerful tool; **Four Question Technique**: 1) “Identity one important concept, research finding, theory or idea in that you learned while completing this activity.” (analyzing)

2) “Why do you believe that this concept, research finding, theory or idea in _ is important?” (reflecting)

3) “Apply what you have learned from this activity to some aspect of your life.” (relating)

4) “What question(s) has the activity raised for you? What are you still wondering about?” (questioning)
