Online working environment is beneficial for some students but it is great to have a dedicated teacher who will teach you both remotely and also in personal to get connections, learn from verbal communication live, and see the other ways on how the world works today
This course has opened up my teaching to a new world of educational tools. The PAL3 tool is fantastic and will hopefully be utilized in professions with high turnover. The on-the-job training and showing improvement in retention is impressive. This growing technology is way above my pay grade, but I am willing to implement it in my professional practice as a nurse and as a CTE health science educator.
Online learning may work for some students, but I think that it is important to recognize that there is still a lot of value in in-person learning.
Removing Algebra II is a great idea. Statistical thinking benefits people in every area of their professional life.
Online learning is known as anywhere, anytime learning, which can be beneficial to students regardless of what technology is available to them. According to the module, 94% of students prefer using their cellphones vs a computer to complete work, which makes remote learning even more convenient for students. Online learning can also be beneficial for teachers, as it is a way of offering feedback instantly and gives more accessibility to tutoring.
AI can track student performances. It is a good idea to let students earn badges. This will show progression in the online class.
ITS=Intelligent Tutoring System will provide praise and positive reinforcement for the student.
There could be great benefits from online learning.
One of the most salient aspects of this module is the notion that education will never return to pre-pandemic methods of instruction. Students crave different learning experiences and the focus on technology must be harnessed as an asset, even in traditionally hands-on CTE classes.
This information presented to show the blocking effect of algedra II was very insightful. We lose many qulified teachers to praxis math failurs do to not passing math.
I believe the rotational systems are among the most exciting parts of the paradigm shifts we are currently experiencing. The ability to rotate through available resources and to schedule students and workers in shifts that correlate to resources is incredible. It does also require rethinking the 'work day,' I believe in ways that make resources available when students need them and have time to access them instead of simply requiring everyone to adjust their days and times to meet the standards of the old system. With this I expect a push toward more of a year round approach to educating students - even if adult staff are rotated through portions of the year in order to accommodate prevention of burning out.
I also appreciate the PAL3 tool that was shown. The ability to refresh skills in real time seems a valuable resource for both employers and employees.
