I want to say that I have been teaching for nearly 20 years in the traditonal way, being thrown into the online teaching process has been a challenge not only for myself but fot the students. The things that I have laearned so far have been very helpful and I anm glad for the training.The problem I see is for the students. I feel that they should be given some online training on how the online process can be successful for them as well as for the instructor. Many do not understand this concept and this is why they came… >>>

Information is helpful

Online course or e-learning is another way to stay connect with your students, especially in a pandemic.  Being sure you have a good platform and respond back to students in a timely manner

The biggest thing I took away from this course is to assert your presence, but in a friendly and supportive manner.  Do video presentations, video chats, live chats and discussion forums.   Most of all give feedback through email and stay VERY ORGANIZED!

Since I currently have no classroom and have been subbing the past 9 years I hope to implement things from this course in the near future.  I have taken a few on line courses and appreciate feedback in a timely matter.  I know that first after understanding and familiarizing myself with the course andplatform, I would want to get to know my students.  I would prepare my bio and in turn ask for theirs.  I need to knowt how I would record and keep all communications with students.  Always following the guidelines of the institution I am working for.  My… >>>

It is quite evident that learners appreciate timely and meaningful feedback. I have noticed that learners provide extensive and comprehensive responses when submitting future asssignments. Additionally, students rely (trust) our content-area wisdom and guidance to assist them into the development of their 'next steps' of success.

The payoff is watching their response positively evolve whereby the communication exchange becomes more meaningful, along with productive assignments; and, a more involved learner.

I like the idea of using a video to introduce myself.  I am also thinking about encouraging students to upload videos to introduce themselves, but I need to set boundaries or provide students with specific questions to answer.  

i think online learning is important  so  i canreach many people at one time

no matter the enviironment the successful instructor must participate, guide, present guidelines, and give constructive feedback in a TIMELY manner

As an online instructor, I learned Why is it important to assess technology tools, Why is it important to match  the technology tool to its appropriate function 

Being thrown into online learning has not been easy.  As a dual language kindergarten teacher, I had to figure out how to help my students maintain and continue to learn Spanish but I had to face the reality that many of my students would not retain the Spanish they had aquired.  I have done my best to provide recordings of Spanish lessons and encourage my students to continue to practice their Spanish but becasue this are 5 and 6 year olds it is ultimately up to their parents to continue to help them learn and build a strong foundation in… >>>

Making sure I understand the CMS system.  How to Influnce, persuade, inspire and energize my students as if they were in a classroom.  How to make my presences known in the online setting. Show my qualifications.  Sent messages to my students.  Know the different learning styles and how to deal with them.  How we handle communication with our students.  Keep folders for each student make sure in email to use subject line. 

I have been holding a weekly meeting with welding instructors to talk about our challenges for teaching online. I have had about 120 total emails that are on the email group and up to 55 people join a meeting. 

After the meeting on the 29th of April, I sent out an email requesting the complete a google form survey. 

Here are the results from the instructors- 18 Total responses as of this writing. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1t-mKVcjI3WG5yvgMMVWMWpvF5d1KDrr1c48ZZkN6A6Q/viewanalytics 

On that same day I posted a survey for my students in the Remind.com group. I have received 20 responses from them..out of 42… >>>

Having taught classrooms of healthcare professionals, I feel it is necessary to find a way to relate to each individual student not only at the level of learning or expertise they've experienced, but also through personality and behavioral traits as well. These individuals will be taking care of the general population and I want them to be personable, confident, and skilled in their care giving.

This is hard to do sometimes in the e-learning environment because you do not see their daily behavior and how they physically interact with others. They have to remain dedicated to the subject at… >>>

Online learning is a challenge for me in the aspect of showing myself to the students.  I like to think of myself as an instructor slash entertainer in the face to face classroom.  I don't seem to pull that off very well in the recorded lesson/lecture for student viewing.  I have never been comfortable in front of a camera however I have learned how to instruct by IVC-Interactive Video Broadcasting.

The COVID-19 instruction of prepared video instruction was difficult for me.  I found myself going to fast or not interjecting enough question for thought processing.  I did find it much… >>>

It is crucial for us teachers to remember that we must use multiple sources of data that are appropriate for our students. We must use multiple methods that integrate qualitative and quantitative data. Some of these are course grades, syllabus sca, portfolios, question tools, pretest, posttest, among many others. This is in order to close the lop of teaching online and how it should alwayts be a student-centered approach. 

It looks as if it is going to be a long time till we go back to our classrooms. Meanwhile, we cannot let our students fall back in their education. This course has helped to create my new path for online teaching. I definetly suggest that all teachers who plan to go online should take this course. Very special training.

Online learning for the student is a well rounded approach because our students were born in this computer age.  Student are very knowledgable with all types of comuputer knowledge. The students are wiser to computers but weaker to common sence knowledge.  They are so geard into the computer but  they don't have the common sense to put it down so they can relate and communicate in their surroundings.  Their computer knowledge is good because they help teach the Baby Boomers who relate by doing everything by hand.  So the phrase turns around that we are wise in common sense but… >>>

It will take a long time for us to go back to teaching in classrooms. Meanwhile, we should be prepared to help our students on-line using CMS (Course Management System).
