Interactive tools for student application of theory in addition to utilizing a tablet or mobile device as learning tools.
Lots of information that can be benefit my online courses.
Once again, the theory references to support topics, as well as assessment topics have been most useful.
I'm sure this is purposeful in some way, but I'm finding this course to be the opposite of dynamic - the reliance on text heavy passages is difficult to engage with.
Love the ideas about holistic learning and spreading portfolios out over the entire quarter.
Great information that I could apply to my on-line courses. There are some fantastic ways to create ways for students to interact with each other. Using portfolios is ideal for students. One benefit of learning what instructional technology tools can offer is to assist in helping to promote learning.
It takes a mixture of individual as well as group work to make sure all skill levels are included
Will apply these concepts in the classroom
I teach international students and what I refer to reverse planning, or having the student identify the problem or end state sometimes help them focus on the problem and the ways to work the porject
I found the checklist useful: from selecting a topic focused on the participants, the skills to be attained, the resources needed and project set up. It helps to have a well thought out and thorough process to achieving effective learning.
As educators, we have to think about how students access content. We have to think about the end result-acquisition of knowledge- and then develop the design to help facilitate the student's learning. "Working backwards, instructors then decide which supporting questions should be posed, resources made available, and assessments created to facilitate this process. Finally, the starting point of the course becomes the ending outcome: engaged learning."
Interesting information to apply to my course
This is very great information about how to conduct online classes and how to engage the students to participate individually and in group. Also how to organize and present their projects to succeed in the course.
Project based learning is something I am incredibly familiar with. At the middle school where I am a Peer Collaborative teacher, I utilize arts integration and project based learning frequently for maximum engagement. I will bring this into my higher education virtual teaching as well.
It is important for the success of each student that the course is outlined in a manner that will compliment individual learning styles. As instructor is good practice to incorporate material that will provide a clear and concise study outline.
Maximizing student output
In this module Ive learn about diferentiated learning and ways to design inclusion courses.
Project-based learning and portfolios are great ways to assess students' learning in many aspects.
I learned that the technology is the most important element in online course, it have ideas and collaborative thinking.
The idea of having students complete a portfolio. And learning overall how important it is to have student engagment.
I find the concept of working with the final goal in mind to be fascinating. This technique allows for steady continuous involvement and engagement in the course. In addition, keeping the students actively involved increases student satisfactions and leaning.
