Action Plan

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.

From Traditional to Remote

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… >>>

A Great Refresher Course!

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.

Putting it into practice

After completing 102, it feels as though the most important component is to work on effective relationships with students. When developing and planning a course, I plan to really consider indiviuals in the course and their needs and expectations in order to help deliver the best content possible. 

To ensure this, I will develop a by module plan with all expectations, questions, and discussion elements to help integrate individuals into the learning.

Consistency Is Key

In this module, I learned that it's important to be consistent as you develop your modules.  This will help students to be successful and learn quicker how to progress through the modules.  I also learned the importance of having an objects database repository to store files, documents, images that you can use and which will cut down on the amount of time it takes to build your modules.

Distance Learning in Secondary CTE Health Science Classes

As a teacher and Registered Nurse Industry Professional,  I was quite surprised after my first week with distance learning to realize that distance learning education did work better for some students.  Although some students do work better with a face-to-face course style of teaching, I have students that were struggling with completing assignments or passing a quiz who to my surprise are now some of my first to complete the coursework. I feel that there definitely an advantage in using an online format to deliver instructional knowledge.  My CTE students seem to appreciate the convenience of online instructional coursework which… >>>

Challenges

I think my biggest challege with online teaching will be engaging large classes. I can see how many of these approaches work well with smaller classes but with 50-60 students it will be more difficult.

Dialog with online instructor.

I developed a close relationship with an online instructor in college.  She offered to write me a letter of recommendation to teach at the University after graduation.  She was very helpful and had a very successful online Project Management program.  She opened a number of doors for me in the greater Tacoma/Seattle area.  I learned a lot from her.
