Not being a beginner or a novice, I was not in a large class; maybe 5 or 6 students per class. They also included open classes 2 or 3 times a week. I had to work to make my schedule match the offerings. The platform that they used at that time was Webex; I believe that platform was probably better suited than anything that Zoom currently offers. Everyone could hear and see the teacher. You could see the images of students as they spoke. The teacher could use a whiteboard for writing and also share images with us. It was pricey but certainly a lot of fun.<br /><br /> I also travelled to Israel and participated in a Kibbutz Ulpan. That was years ago and certainly before personal computers and tablets were so ubiquitous. Level C and D were taught by Walter B. who was the finest of the fine language teacher in all of Israel. He tried not to tolerate English (most of us were English speaking young people). The most fun I have ever had in my whole life was getting up and telling a prepared story to the class, strictly in Hebrew. I couldn’t just use a dictionary because the vocabulary had to be accessible to the class, for all of whom Hebrew was not their native tongue. I brought a picture of Walter home with me, but it has long been lost to history.<br />David Squireshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17144607647071920674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-61023463358363058702020-08-12T14:16:52.503-04:002020-08-12T14:16:52.503-04:00LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR ONLINE EVENT!

You are so brilliant at suspense, creating that breathless, what’s behind the next corner feeling that makes readers keep turning the pages. <br /><br />I haven’t done Zoom yet, working on it. When I read Joan’s comments, I was glad to learn that one can lurk and not be front and center in a zoom event. I think I’d like to lurk first. I have done FB events that various bookstores and groups have had, including ones with Hank and Rhys, I had to miss the one with you, Hallie, and Lucy/Roberta, and I was going to attend a Lucy event last night, but it was canceled due to the weather and the host’s electricity being out. Tonight I have on tap events with Hank and Kim Powers. I’m really looking forward to your interview with Scott Turow, Hallie, and learning the answer to that twist question, one of the best twists of all time. <br /><br />Oh, and a reminder that there’s a Jungle Reds event coming up online, too. I don’t have the details in front of me, but it’s on my calendar to attend.Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-66237523304916526072020-08-12T13:29:38.454-04:002020-08-12T13:29:38.454-04:00Edith, it was great seeing you!

I did an Ulpan in Arad, Israel in 1975. It was seven months with a half day of classes then out into Arad. We lived in dorms, but everyone was paired with a family so we could practice our Hebrew. In my case, I think they all practiced their English, which was superior in all ways, to my Hebrew.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128026892155650398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-54528420023850717682020-08-12T12:21:20.221-04:002020-08-12T12:21:20.221-04:00I've done some Zoom events.

I don't think the author events I've done were via Zoom. The platforms used didn't get me a chance to turn on my camera, and everyone was probably happy about that. :)Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.com
