I like the online learning.  I would like students to engage more in discussion verbally.  Student work hard and do the work which is good.  More verbal participation would be good.

With our current state of the World during this unpresidented time of COVID-19 and the Corona virus Pandemic, I have found that online learning and teaching can and will be challenging. Not only are we trying to maintain a since of normalsy, but we also are trying to make this online experience interactive and enjoyable during a very difficult time. I have found that using these resources that I've learned from this course have paid off tremendously. Being motivated and interacting with students via virtual classrooms and video chatting, it has given students a look into our personal space and… >>>

Well I guess it's safe to say we all maybe guilty of misinterpreting what we hear, what we read, what we see. While we cannot control the perceptions of others we can lessens misinterpretations. One way is to anticipate individual differences. Because our experiences are different and our perceptions are different, then our mindset will be different. Expecting and accepting this will definitely lessen misinterpretations. 

I have found in my years as a CTE instructo, students retain more from a lesson that involves hands on learning. The act of touching, doing, and seeing simultaneously keeps students engage; resulting in a higher level of learning.

This was a easy to follow, helpful class for onlline  education,

I will reflect on what I learned as I work to put together future courses.

Thanks!

Here is how I plan to use what I have learned in EL112 Workload Balance.  I am currently an online teacher for the first time in my 20 year career, attempting to teach 4th graders remotely.  I am a bit behind the times with technology.  I often find myself starting work as early as 5:30 and staying with it, on and off throughout the day and evening to 10pm.   I have learned that my disorganization is contributing to my long hours.  From the course I will be implementing office hours and a schedule/routinestructure to do various parts of my… >>>

Due to COVID-19, I felt this course very relevant to enhancing my strengths and improving my weaknesses in being an online instructor. From this course I have learned various workload management strategies in dealing with online classes. For example, plannine is crucial and utilizing the ADDIE model of setting up a course is ideal. I would be Analyzing my past courses, Designing a new course to meet students' needs, Development appropriate assignments to expound content, Implementing the course, and then Evaluating the course at the end and also at the mid point. I will start using the Stop, Start, Continue… >>>

Organization and a routine is key.

Simple instructions: re-read your instructions because sometimes it sound differnt in your head and you know what you want to happen, but it may not appear that way.

Keep the students engaged daily-don't dump on them but make them think about discussion questions and respond to other responses.  Keep them involved with not only their own work, but other's work as well.

A challenge is keeping them engaged and completing the work.  I would say that it is easier for the students to hear instructions, but this last year proved me wrong with that. … >>>

I am not teaching an online class, nor do I anticipate teaching one in the near future.  I teach high school geometry and like many other teachers, have been thrown into the world of Remote Learning due to COVID-19.  My job and expectations for it changed overnight.  I did get some good advice and tips while taking this class.  One of the big take aways is that I need to maintain relationships with my students.  I had the advantage of getting to know my students in person before the pandemic swept the world.  It is now, more than ever important… >>>

I liked this module because it expressed different ways to discover types of learners when teaching in the online classroom.  It is difficult to understand the tone of students when the presence is absent.  

it is important to be mentally and physically prepared when learning a new program in order for you to adjust to "the new normal".

Patience is always the virtue. best plan is to be ready and to learn as you go along. After we practice show what you know at the end of the class,

i always reminded my students practice practice.

Being prepared is the route to success. Being proactive and committing a half to a whole hour to preparing classroom subject, assigning homework and ideas for class participation.

As a teacher in an adult correctional facility I am unsure as to how online learning will be implemented due to a lack of inmate access to technology. Furthermore I am aprehensive regarding conducting synchronous exchanges with students as their comments may be inappropriate. However, I believe that with a firm yet fair code of conduct students will utilize on-line learning to meet their academic goals. Initially, student attrition will be an issue as many of our students lack basic computer skills and may become discouraged or require a tremendous amount of support simply because they lack confidence within themselves… >>>

As a teacher of 26+ years I found this course valuable as I transition into the online learning forum.

The training was an exelent tools to achieve our objetive during class, now I fell more confortable to teach online.

I have had a number of my colleagues express frustrations in getting their students to transition from the traditional classroom setting to Remote learning. As we know due to the Pandemic. They ask why I'm not so frustrated. I'm not frustrated because we (me and my students) have been using technology tools prior to Remote learning. My students use their Smart Board, use their desktops, their laptops, use their phones within the classroom. I teach and facilitate learning in the classroom using Canvas, Google Classroom. We do this consistently. My students understand the various ways technology can help them achieve… >>>

Students are able to learn best online when they are familiar with the different online tools that are available.

The best practice for dealing with noisy, disruptive, difficult online student is to follow the guidelines of the College. 

This was a very helpful course to me because it reminded me of some things I learned at a conference a few years ago that I have not yet implemented.  This course has nudged me to start incorporating more positive feedback, to offer peer assessments for online learners, to add an assessment at the beginning of the course to gauge students' knowledge, and also to get a variety of evaluations on the structure of my course.
