In class today I had the opportunity to be a moderator for a discussion. Our discussion involved talking about voice recognition. There are a few skills I would like to recommend people being a moderator of a discussion.
1) Be very familiar with your topic. Having completed TSTM 443 I was knowledgeable with speech recognition. I was able to talk about Dragon, the benefits of using voice recognition, and how it can be helpful with people with disabilities.
2) Be able to communicate effectively. When being a moderator it is important that you asks questions and give responses clearly. Without doing this the discussion might go in a different direction or the participants will be very unclear of what you are trying to ask.
3) Be courteous. We each have our own thoughts and views. For an example some people (dealing with voice recognition) software may think Dragon is the best. Others may think the speech tools built-in with Windows Vista is the best. Whatever the case may be state your views, maybe show an article proving your views, but remember they are views and views can differ from person to person.
