This activity will showcase the use of application sharing in Elluminate and will provide opportunities for participants to be creative in a wetpaint wiki space. During this activity participants will add a 'shout out' posting on a wiki page to put a spotlight on someone they believe is a great Elluminate moderator. || **Step 1: set the scene** Create your wetpaint wiki page (or use mine at [] ) and add a discussion thread at the bottom of the page In the page highlight your moderator of the month by providing a small image and some words about that moderator. In the discussion forum start the thread with an introductory and instructional message about what to do. Provide a brief overview of what the activity is about: e.g. //replying to a thread in a discussion forum on a wiki// Open the wetpaint wiki site in a separate browser window and login [|http://elluminatelivetraining.wetpaint.com] Start the application sharing and select the application for this website Navigate to the Spotlight page and within the page to show the contents and demonstrate how to reply to the thread. Ask for a volunteer from the audience to add a posted reply Hand them access to your shared application, keep the voice function on and give them directions When finished take back the access to your shared application (Time permitting: repeat the steps by asking for more volunteers.) ||

 * Jane || Ice breaker - what's your fruity personality? || A fun warm up activity and easy way to get to know participants - ask them to nominate which fruit/veg they most identify with. Results could be polled and then reveal the personality traits. ||
 * Jordan Chamerski || Ice breaker and Activity - see Jordan's attachments below || Ice breaker - turn your picture into something
 * Luke Molan || Ice breaker activity || My initial thoughts are that as a moderator one of the most powerful things you can do is give each participant "a voice" - speech is the most engaging tool in elluminate so my activity is simply to facilitate the asking and answering of "Who are you?", "Where are you from?", What do you do?". As participants introduce themselves in answering these questions they are also invited to annotate the attached file on the WB with ther location. This last bit is similar to Kelly's Ice Breaker. ||

Two lies and a Truth || ====== A sk the students to pair up and interview each other whether via text chat or in break out rooms. The students will then report on what they discovered about each other.======

=
My activity for my students is for them to list three interesting things about themselves. (I own two iguanas; I once shook hands with Tom Cruise; and I love to waterski.) Two must be lies and one must be true. Other students must vote to determine which interesting thing is a lie. The student with the most incorrect votes wins.===== ||
