I learned about time management and the importance of it and online classes whether you are a teacher or a student.
I have learned that I need to evaluate my own teaching styles and make my strengths stand out. I love to motivate students and be their cheerleader! Anything I can do to help motivate them makes me happy.
Having completed my BSN and MSN primarily through online learning—and now preparing to begin my FNP—I truly understand the unique challenges and advantages that come with this format. Because of my own journey, I feel well-equipped to support online students by sharing practical tips and strategies that helped me stay organized, engaged, and successful throughout each program. I look forward to offering guidance and encouragement based on real-world experience.
I believe that the greatest issue for any learning environment is a student's motivation, or lack thereof. An instructor may use as many tools as possible to teach a certain subject. But if the learner does not have the appropriate amount of motivation then the learning process is hampered. Cultivating a student's motivation is probably the best way to enhance their educational experience.
I learned that as an instructor I should analyze my teaching style, strengths, and weaknesses, because it is important to acknowledge them, utilize them and improve them to become a better teacher in the online environment.
Trying to make myself accessible online more and letting students learn more about me.
I have learned to understand the different learning styles of students. For example, introverted students might do better with online learning, but it's important to ensure they don't become too isolated and to encourage them to engage visually. Additionally, I pay close attention to students with special needs and disabilities to provide appropriate support.
I liked the video announcement suggestion. I also liked the list of questions to see if students are prepared for an online course.
Students learn in many different ways with different methods. Its good to stay on top of the different methods of teaching as the population changes.
I like the comment that the instructor made on posting video announcements. I agree that many students these days relate to video more than text. However, some of my announcements contain a lot of specific information that cannot be contained in a short video. I think that the best approach for me would be to include a video that summarizes this information, followed by a more detailed text description.
Having a good plan of attack is essential. For example, establishing a productive work environment without distractions ex: tv, children, noises etc., set a schedule for reviewing and completing assignments, engage in virtual interactions with peers.
Los temas me parecen excelentes. Para educadores en línea representa un desafío constante el mantener motivados y comprometidos a los estudiantes, ya que la interacción es reducida. Sin embargo, este contenido me permite reforzar mi interacción activa con los alumnos, dar relevancia a cada participación, brindar siempre retroalimentación y buscar siempre la excelencia y recursos tecnológicos. También ser más estructurada y clara con horarios y fechas sin olvidar ser flexible con algunos casos especiales. Por último, pero no menos importante, el seguimiento y adaptación de materiales para estudiantes con dificultades de estudio.
Muy importante la retroalimentación y que opinen entre si
Si deseamos ser exitosos como instructores, debemos encaminarnos hacia la procura de lograr forjar estudiantes exitosos, solo así podemos ver el resultado de nuestros esfuerzos, y esto se logra si somos conscientes de entender las fortalezas y debilidades tanto propias como la de nuestros estudiantes, entendiendo que cad estudiante es un potencial en desarrollo y debe ser tratado como tal; debemos blindarnos con las mejores herramientas para lograr una educación en línea exitosa.
En este modulo aprendí la importancia de la motivación intrinsica, porque nace del interior de cada persona y la motivación extrínseca proviene de factores externos; entonces, creo que como docente estamos en capacidad de impartir a nuestros estudiantes una motivación positiva que oriente el proceso de enseñanza- aprendizaje y obtener una recompensa, visibilizanda en la aprobación del curso con éxito.
Aprendí la importancia del autoanálisis tanto para los catedráticos como para los alumnos en el entorno online, en donde debemos fortalecer nuestras habilidades especialmente las tecnológicas, de comunicación y gestión de tiempo para ser efectivos, además ayudar a los estudiantes a identificar sus propias fortalezas y debilidades brindándoles tácnicas para mejorar y que se puedan adaptar al aprendizaje virtual.
Helping the students to know their own strengths and weakness as well as preferences regarding learning can better prepare them to be successful in an online environment.
Each student has unique learning styles and personalities that will impact their educational experience. Helping them to understand it themselves as well as being aware of it as an instructor will prepare you to assist them.
I've learned that students all learn in different ways, and we need to make sure as the instructors of online classes that students who are not traditional learners do not fall behind just because they do not fit the norm.
I think one way I can help to prevent this is make sure my lesson plans include things such as videos and diagrams and activities to help those who need to be a little more hands on or need visual or audio aids to help them learn the materials.
I've learned the importance of being flexible and present whenever they need assistance. I'll reinforce that needing extra support is completely ok.
