I like the 1-minute paper at the end of each day to see what they learned.
Building a coarse Scaffold for students to follow through their learning.
I have learned the importance of a syllabus and how that is to guide your students. The syllabus can change in certain circumstances depending on the students and the knowledge or lack of knowledge they are receiving.
Online teaching, instructors must create different strategies to ensure the students are learning and retaining what they have learned and applying what they have learned.
I learned about the many different ways scaffolding supports students to build their own learning.
I learne the importance of scaffolding as the proess of building knowledge / skils structure based on prior knowledge and experiences. This will help students to achieve all the objectives.
Scaffolding is very important in the online setting, just like in a classroom.
For online learning I NEED to provide a better dynamic syllabus which would be designed for easy access and also room for edit and revisions. In addition, i would need feedback to know waht i should stop, what i should start and what should be continued from the point of the student.
A dynamic syllabus and better than a flat syllabus. The communication should be ongoing within the class and the syllabus should be acessible in different aspects of the course. Communication is key to making all students feel involved and participating in the course. I learned to make sure that scaffolding is used correctly and the students are learning with technology not from technology.
It is impertive that your online syllabus is engaging and allows the student learner to naviagate with ease. Scaffolding allows students to move progressively throughout the course.
In the Teaching Online: A Student-Centered Approach module two I learned how important a good syllabus is. I also learned that a teacher needs to build a robust online community with the class participants and using good communication is needed within the online community.

The concept of scaffolding gives structure to all aspects of the online learning experience though in itself it is not the final goal. It is a means to accomplish the learning outcomes for the students.
The syllabus needs to be more dynamic than a traditional one used in the classroom setting. Scaffolding is very important in the classroom and online as students build upon prior knowledge.. I like the comment that students should learn from technology, not take from.
I learned what wikis are and about some of the other web based tools that are available in online teaching. This is an area where I have limited experience and will need to plan to become much more familiar and proficient with these tools for future use.
The instructor must develop a dynamic syllubus that is updated through the course and excessable to the students.

The key to good online communication is detailed instructions estabished/created in the syllabus Using effective communication is important for the success of the student, Just as in construction, a poorly built learning scaffolds can hinder the future learning ability of the student Good communication can identify when students are on the wrong path or deviating from the online learning environment.
Detailed syllabus, effective communication techniques, varied types of student interaction and using scaffolding to keep momentum and learning moving forward.
I found scaffolding very important in the lesson. I had never considered that poor scaffolding could hinder future learning. I also found communication communities important to student learning and teacher support.
I have learned to scaffold during the building of course modules. Also to vary the type of discussion to the learners.
