=Welcome to Ellaysa Newton's Personal Learning Network!= I am currently in my first semester of graduate school. I am a mother and in full-time ministry. I am an ordained minister and a liturgical dancer. I am not a traditional teacher in the sense of school buildings and textbooks. My classroom is usually a dance center, gym, conference center or church. I travel both nationally and locally to train, mentor and establish dance ministries and dance ministry leaders. I have been trying to find a new and creative way to teach more instructors who I can not get to or who can't afford to travel to where I am; I think I have found the solution by developing Desktop Video Conferencing for Liturgical Dancers.

===Stephen (Steve) Alessi is an associate Professor in Instructional Design and Technology at the University of Iowa. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Educational Psychology. Stanley Trollip is the Director of Learning Strategies at Capella University. He did his undergrad work at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign and received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in Educational Psychology as well. The book centers around the thought that the web is the next logical step for the evolution of computer based learning because the laboratory setting for teaching concepts is too dangerous, the materials are costly, the time frame is unrealistic, or the opportunities for practice are limited. This book ties into my concept for video conferencing because it supports that multimedia learning allows for a level of interactivity that can enhance the learning experience. ===

===Rita-Marie Conrad, Ph.D. has been teaching, designing and consulting about online courses for the past decade. She has been the head of online instructional development and an online faculty member at the School of Information Studies at Florida State University. Essentially, this book provides activities and resources to develop an interactive online learning community. This book is intended for instructors or online facilitators. I incorporated this book because it helps tie into how to create and stimulate an online learning community, even through video conferencing. It allows for adaptation and innovation. ===

===Larry Cuban is professor emeritus of education at Stanford University and the author of numerous books and articles on education, in particular, technology and education. This book simply attempts to understand why teachers have behaved as they have with regards to instructional technologies in order to inform the next generation of non-teacher reformers who will try to alter classroom practices. This work help bring into context the historical ramifications of technology and gives perspective to non-teacher reformers on how to pursue integration of new technologies. ===

===Dick, W., Carey, L., & Carey, J. (2001). //The systematic design of instruction// (7th Ed.). New York: Longman Publisher. ===

===This book presents a model for Instructional Design that is very approachable to Instructional Designers on every level. Two of the authors, Lou Carey and Walter Dick, had the opportunity to study with Robert Gagne’ who is one of the most well known American educational psychologists who pioneered the science of instruction and the application of concepts of instructional theory to the design of computer based training and multimedia based learning. Walter Dick earned his Ph.D. from Penn State University in Educational Psychology, Lou Carey earned her Ph.D. at Florida State University and her husband James O. Carey works in the School of Library and Information Science at the University of SouthFlorida and has expertise in educational technology and new media technologies. This reference is important to the process because it gives a foundational model that can be used to create a template for creating a video conferencing course that is purposeful and effective. ===

===Driscoll, M.P. (2000)//. Psychology of learning for instruction//. (2nd Ed.). Needham Heights, MA: Allyn & Bacon. ===

===The central theme is this book shows us how people learn and what technology has to do with that process. Instruction is not primarily what occurs in the classroom but centers on the planning process. Teaching is the direct interaction between a learner and the agent of instruction whether it is a textbook, a website, an instructor writing on a chalkboard or even video conferencing. Students are the intended audience for this book as they reflect and develop critical thinking in regards to theories of learning and instruction. This book is similar to //The systematic design of instruction// (Dick, W., Carey, L., & Carey, J., 2001), in that, they both do not criticize other theories but instead encourage dialogue and critical analysis for what works. ===

===This book is the culmination of fifteen years of experience facilitating online learning into a practical guide, intended for anyone facilitating or teaching online. Jonathan Finkelstein is the executive producer of Learning Times. He is regarded as a pioneer and innovator in developing and leading online events and gatherings. Jonathan was the co-founder of product strategy at HorizonLive (now Blackboard Collaborate), and designed the first synchronous collaboration platforms for academia, associations and other non-profits. This ties in nicely with my video conferencing theme because it provides very practical information for teaching live and online. It provides that “human” factor that is often missing from online experiences. ===

===Gagne, R., & Briggs, L. (1979). Principles of instructional design (2nd Ed.). New York: Holt, Reinhart and Winston. ===

===This book provides historical background on instructional technology. This book serves as a bridge between other books that have been presented previously s well as give credence to theories that were presented as well. The audience for this work is education professionals. Robert Gagne’ who is one of the most well known American educational psychologists who pioneered the science of instruction and the application of concepts of instructional theory to the design of computer based training and multimedia based learning. ===

===Jane M. Healy, Ph.D. has been an educational psychologist and professional educator for more than 45 years. She has been an university instructor, classroom teacher, school administrator and even a reading and learning specialist. This book was intended for educators as well as families; mothers, fathers and grandparents. The main focus of the book was to cause both parents and educators to seriously consider the validity of computers in the classroom. This helps keep perspective as we look at the video conferencing possibility and its potential to be effective as a learning environment. ===

===Heinich, R. & Molenda, M. & Russel, J. & Smaldino, D.. (2002). //Instructional media and technologies for learning// (7th Ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall. ===

===This book presents to educators a clear concise approach to real world technology as it applies to the “classroom”. It is aimed at those who are at the very basic level of using media for education or training. It was useful in that it helps instructors decide what media to use for different teaching/learning situations and gives practical, hands on tips on how to achieve the best effect when using technology. A very important aspect when discussing using desktop video conferencing. ===

He has also had the opportunity to collaborate with Robert Gagne’. This book focused on incorporating technology in classrooms, instructional practices of teachers, and instructional design proficiency. The approach to this work was to take the instructional design piece and instead of looking at the traditional classroom, translate that into use in the video conferencing environment. ===
