Though these tools exist, the most effective tool is the one that works well the facilitor's stye of teaching.
Teaching and Organizing a Virtual Learning Environment --> Technology Tools
Understanding that a key component to ensure the learning process is ongoing, is to choose appropriate technology that teaches and organizes your online courses. Focusing on my students different learning styles and keep them engaged.
From this module I learned that while many technologies may sound like they serve a similar function, it is important to examine each of these tools with the type of teaching I prefer, the content that students need to learn, and the learning style of the students in mind when I choose specific tools for specific lesson.
I have learned that I dont need to utilize every available technology but the one that best serves the needs and learning style of myself and my students. In my case I want to keep it as close to the F2F environment we have already established as possible.
I did most of my education online. I liked how things were set up but now having to set up is very interesting because I am now having to design courses. I am not tech savy at all so at times this is challeging for me.
It is important to seek out all available options and thier functions to find the best fit for your students and your teaching style. Many things can cross over to several areas but not all has to be used.
I've learned that while I tend to teach using a format of lecture combined with participation, it is important to facilitate, while encouraging students to be more independent in learning. I also have become more aware of learning the use of learning the various tools that I intend to use as teaching aides, to avoid confusion, and take time away from the learning center.
This module was extremely interesting and appropiatte for my current role as an instructor. For example, I learned about the digital tools and the most proper for each scenario. Also, i learned about the different teaching styles such as: the demonstrator and the expert.
Student outcomes are dependent on the appropriate learning delivery modality/techlology.
There are many technology tools available to us for online teaching. It is important o learn the fucntions and aspects of many different ones, to decide which is best suited for a specific task at hand.
Aprender el estilo de enseñanza es imprescindible para ser un maestro exitoso, cada instructo debe adaptarse a las necesidades de los estudiantes sin perder su forma de interactuar con ellos y perder su estilo.
It is important that we stay knowledgable about the tools avalible so we are able to help our students.
Instructors MUST know how to utilize a plethora technologies and be able to demonstrate for the distance learning students so they can learn to navigate through the vast technology tools available to students to be successful. It is all in the spirit of learning.
Understanding the different technological tools use in on-line instruction, their effectiveness. and how instructors can apply them depending on their teaching style.
I will practice using different technologies effectively in conjuntion with a combination of teaching styles for better communication, relationship and learning outcomes.
There are many learning tools that can be used in online learning. Different learning tools will be more appropriate than others depending on the type of presentor you are. It is important to get feedback from your students.
It is important to match the tool with the goal that you, as the instructor, want the student to achieve. You should make sure the students know the expectation of how you want them to use the tool. I will be relying heavily of the virtual classroom.

I learned that several techniques are available as learning tools, but we must make sure that the one or ones we select will be appropriate for our students because of the diverse group of student that we may have, it's imperative that we select the best learning approach and to do that we must explore our options.
I learned that technology can be applied to learning in a variety of ways. Not every technology is conducive to students learning, so by doing an evaluation can help the instructor make changes as needed for the next course.
Very important to know your teaching style and match the tech tool with the neccessities of your class
I learned there are many technology tools to use.
