Use of Pane 1
Use of Pane 2
Reflection
Pane 2 is the first pane I used when I did my initial Welcome session in the fall. I use this pane every time. I have used it for presentations, document sharing, and screen sharing. I have found that the powerpoint annotation works better than the white board marker, so I have a "whiteboard presentation" that is always loaded. This is simply a blank powerpoint I use for annotations. I can erase easily and the marker writes without much interruption.
One of these teachers in this session gave the most practical advice about using the screen share in pane 2: Have a back-up plan. In computer science I relied pretty heavily on the screen share function in adobe connect to "live code" with my editing software. I tried to share 3 times in fall semester and had an issue each time. The third time it finally worked (so I thought), only to find out that the recording did not work properly with the screen share function. At that point I was frustrated enough to stop trying to rely on this function. I may come back to it when all the browser updates are complete, but for now, I've found that prerecording my screencasts is the most reliable solution.
