This document outlines a presentation on comparing face-to-face discussions to virtual discussions. The objective is to encourage different ways for educators to engage students through various discussion formats. Research was conducted with 21 students participating in both face-to-face and virtual discussions to analyze the effects on participation and sense of belonging. The findings showed that participation and quality of participation increased in virtual discussions, as some students feel more comfortable sharing their ideas in this format. The presentation provides examples of virtual discussion tools and ways to integrate virtual discussions into classroom lessons.

Much has changed with technology since then.\nLet’s think about this for a moment and let me start with some personal reflection as a doctoral student through the University of Kentucky we have synchronous classes every week\n","22":"((I was interested in their findings that highlighted that Face to Face interaction resulted in HIGHER frequency of on-topic discussion. \n","11":"The research.\n","17":"My research questions was : What is the effect of virtual discussions on students’ participation and sense of belonging?\nI wanted to know if students would feel more comfortable participating in virtual discussions vs face to face.\n","45":"Here are some useful tools to help you integrate virtual discussions into your classroom.

Wang and Woo... key point\n","23":"Friedman et all (2009) Second Life is a 3D Virtual World which enables users to create their own virtual persona and potentially interact with other virtual personas. This was used to gage on-topic virtual discussions. The limitation of this study is that students wore a “virtual mask” so to speak thus they may have felt that their actions were not as accountable as in the face to face class discussions. So although students were conducting discussions in both settings they were more likely to go off task when adopting their “virtual mask”\n","12":"The research.\n","1":"This presentation is called Speak Up! Transforming Classroom Discussions. Again, my name is Robert Appino. You can find me on twitter @rappin01 \n","51":"References from my paper\n","40":"Kids are engaged by \n","29":"Read this slide then say that\nIn this way the book Quiet is a breakthrough in understanding that introversion is not a negative quality and that EXTROVERSION is not the ideal.\n","18":"(need image)\n","46":"write on today’s meet\n","35":"They continue throughout the week via google hangouts. Were we discuss assignment, voice frustrations and support each other. We control the questioning and direct the discussions according to what we need.\n","13":"I conducted an Action Research on Face to Face Whole class Discussions compared to Virtual whole class discussions. There were 21 students that were part of this study.\n","2":"Here is a snap shot of where I work in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This is the High School building which is the main entrance to the campus. We have over 35 nationalities with 850 student early childhood to Grade 12. One of our principal is actually waving on the far right.\nI work as a MS Technology Coach and teacher here at Saigon South International School, Saigon (HCMC) Vietnam. I’m excited to contribute to K12Online this year and wanted to say thanks to those that organized.\n","52":"Image Attributions. You can follow the links and this presentation via rappino.com.\n","19":"The reason I chose to do this study was because in my class of 21, 14 were male and they tended to dominate face-to-face classroom discussions.\nIn contrast, I observed that the quietest female student during class discussion was actually the most active blogger in the class and had a lot valuable thoughts to share. \nSo I wanted to see if it was possible to replicate the feeling of comfort to share ideas when writing in her blog. \nMy idea was to give the students both modes of discussion as a way to better communicate their thoughts. \n","8":"Consider this idea? Some students enjoy speaking up in class while others don't? This is a scenario that most educators are familiar with.\nHow can we promote more students to share their ideas? In this presentation, I will briefly present research on face-to-face and virtual discussions. \nMy over goal with this is to encourage educators to try different ways to reach their students through different modes of class discussions. There isn’t a one size fits all model for the diverse needs of every class.\n","47":"If you are interested in the methods and specific findings from my action research paper please click on the link to the full research paper.\n","36":"Summarize my results: What I found in my study was that student participation increased in virtual discussions. Also, the Quality of participation increased in virtual discussions meaning students discussion stayed more on topic in virtual discussions. \n","25":"This study enabled me to realize that virtual discussions were a means of encompassing the broader needs to accommodate students to feel nurtured and valued in the classroom environment.\n","14":"Just to clarify Face to Face discussion is when people have a discussion while occupying the same physical space. \n","53":"This presentation is called Speak Up! Transforming Classroom Discussions. Again, my name is Robert Appino. You can find me on twitter @rappin01 \n","42":"I would highly recommend integrating virtual discussions into your classrooms. And suggest that you experiment in finding a balance that fits the needs of your particular class. \n","20":"In this next part, I would like to give an overview of the literature on Face-to-face discussions compared with virtual discussions\n","9":"Goal post image\n","37":"It was interesting what was confirmed in my overall findings.\nIn Virtual Discussions Female students where freed from the constraints they felt from whole class discussions which was dominated more by the male students.\nIn the virtual context they were able to be more active participants in discussion and had a higher frequency of on-topic discussions. Additionally, some male students that reacted without thinking during Face-to-Face discussions had a higher frequency of on-topic discussions in Virtual discussions. This could be due to the fact that virtual discussions have a lasting digital footprint and the students have a growing understanding of the implications of this. Also, virtual discussions require students to reread what they are going to say before they post it. Perhaps because they are writing instead of speaking students were more careful with what they were going to say so they could communicate more effectively. This could be something to follow-up on in a future study.\n","26":"Susan Cain the author of Quiet establishes the fact that extroversion/ or the cult of personality in the US wasn't always valued the way it is today \nShe demonstrates how this historical change came about /and highlights how the "power of personality" or EXTROVERSION came to be the cultural ideal in the US\nIn her book, she skillfully demonstrates that "introversion" is not a negative quality, rather this is seen as time for careful consideration for example, she details the background of Steve Wozniak and other so called introverted people who became publicly successful do to their creativity fueled in their ‘Quiet’ moments\nShe also highlights the ways in which Asian American students engage in school and college life. In her research she found that most Asian students preferred the introverted mode of interaction and for various reasons were more comfortable using this mode of communication \nThe research and underpinnings in her book were interest to me because of the parallels I could see in my own classroom.\n","15":"Virtual Discussions are class discussions in a virtual space such as a moodle forum, shared google doc, titan pad, a blog or any other virtual space that promotes discussion. In this study, 21 students in my class were participants in both the face-to-face discussions and the virtual discussions.\n","4":"I want to you to answer the following question(s)\n","43":"Of course with anything in the class room there needs to be variety of ways to reach the unique populations within our classrooms.\n","32":"Students writing in a gform, \n","21":"We’ve already seen this trend increase in recent years.
