My named is Lisa T. As a fairly new instructor, I am enjoying myself thus far! My learning interest is focused around maintaining a positive environment in the classroom, and how to effectively handle conflict in the classroom involving students and the various personalities.

Online teaching/Learning

I am really excited about the things I learned in this course. I feel that it will be better prepare me to be an online instructor. I can take the same kind of enthusiam and excitement that I have in my on-ground classes and bring them into an online setting. I feel that with the values taught on this evening, I can now step out of my comfort zone and pursue online teaching.

Online Learning

I've taken courses online to obtain my degree, but as I can see with the lesson, it is very similar to being in the physical classroom. The key is to keep the students engaged in learning considering they don't get to see the instructor face to face.

Newbie...

Just completed two classes ED 104 & 105

The classes were very imformative. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to be a part of this arena. I've always had a desire to teach, and now that my dream has come true...

Not only will this help empower me to give my students the best that I can, but it will also empower them to become the best that they strive to be.

Great course!
