      1. I will ask each group several common questions and specific question on your group treatise paper. These questions can be responded by any of your group members as an individual opinion or as group response. It is your group decision. Please list five most critical elements of distributed learning system in distance learning.

      Most of people probably would agree that all instructions should have integrated online technology. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Please at least provide three reasons with good literatures to support your arguments.

      As a teacher that is not "afraid" of technology, I completely agree that online or offline technology should be integrated into lessons daily. In fact, I could not think of the last day I have taught my 4th grade students without using at least the digital projector in my room and I continuously dream of next year when I will have time to truly implement all that I have learned while taking my masters. The students and I love and enjoy how various technology tools enhance the lessons (or at least most of the students do, I think). However, as a horrible person to put in a debate, I can easily see the other side and do realize that not every teacher or situation would fit this mold. To support my view of integrating technology online or off into daily lessons, I chose the following 3 sources: 1. National Center for Advanced Technology in Schools (NCATS) http://ies.ed.gov/ncer/RandD/details.asp?ID=630 http://cats.cse.ucla.edu/index.html This is a great example of how important online, computer based learning is becoming. The U.S. Department of Education put 9,833,451 reasons into the NCATS to develop an algebra based online game for 9th grade students to research if it would increase their development through high school. There is even a second research program in place for middle school students with 9.2 million Washingtons supporting the Center for Children and Technology (CCT) and the Center for Science Education (CSE) to develop and evaluate the Super Sleuths Nintendo DS game for 7th grade students. http://ies.ed.gov/ncer/RandD/details.asp?ID=629 There were numerous others with millions of dollars flying around to cover ELL research, gifted and talented, rural education, testing, performance, data, etc. It was easy to get lost. 2. An article I found when I first started the ETC program was written by Mishra & Moehler and based on the fairly "new" combined concept of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). It combined technology, pedagogy, and conte

      Group 1 review: 4/5 Our paper had a good argument but the argument was solid until you read the whole paper and the conclusion. Afterwords the argument was evident.

      In distributed learning assessment (collaborative learning), it is very difficult to know who is doing the course work. How do we know the actual students are doing the course work and how can we assess?
    • Suzy Belonga

      For collaborative learning, I liked how things are sectioned and assigned before combined in ETC 677. Often in my 4th grade class I have had to just give a participation grade for the final assignment. If I assigned sections, I could assess individually and for participation. Then I could assess their ability to combine their sections together, maybe even assign each person (or have them decide) a job at that point. Finally, during the presentation each person in the group would be responsible for a section and would receive a grade.

      I like how you point out the two different classificaitons of authoring tool. This allows the reader to comprehend the content much better. Your abbreviations after long words helps separate and organize terms for those individuals like me who often have technlogy questions. CBI, I have seen the abbreviation before but I like to see the word next to it also, since I may not alway remember what it stands for.

      Well organized. Abstract was accurate and concise. Intro explained what would be covered. Each section flowed and connected well. Conclusion followed the argument and supported the thesis. I would recommend not ending paragraphs with citations but rather, your own words. I was enlightened overall with a better understanding of DL and corresponding strategies.

      Your research on online learning was well organized, clear, and concise. Your discussion provided relevant information and was easy to follow. I agree with your statement on the engagement of distance learners with other learners. It is amazing how much interaction we have in online learning just like we are doing now.

      Adrianna Coronel on 24 Nov 09
       
      I agree that teachers are major stakeholders in online learning. Viewing technology as another resource for solutions to address the needs of education and operational challenges may be crucial to educational success. In an attempt to avoid disappointment when utilizing technology in the classroom, the focus of technology training should aid in making technology more efficient and beneficial to any department. As teachers, we need to continue developing and implementing strategies that help optimize educational technology.
  • Learning technologies are constantly growing and evolving, allowing for great advances in online learning.
    • Adrianna Coronel
      Adrianna Coronel on 24 Nov 09
       
      I agree with this statement. That is why it is important that technology leaders continue to encourage pioneers to continue to be aware of the new technologies in today's changing society. Striving for technology leadership to encourage other staff members should also be emphasized when mentoring pioneers.

      agreed.. we are often so short on leadership in technology. In my school it is left up to the tech guy who fixes things. He is a great hardware guy but is not a professional educator.

      Group 1: You provided strong support for each section, and your documentation was well-sustained. Your abstract and introduction were clear and concise, and gave way to a well-founded opening. One area that I would have liked to see expanded upon/more detail provided would have been with respect to the stakeholders involved in online learning. Great job:)

    Well this is my group so I'm a little biased, but here was my quick review! Thanks everyone for your comments so far! I feel that our paper makes a strong stand for online education as the new forefront in education. As a group we spent hours (literally) revising our paper and making sure it flowed nicely and sounded well-articulated. From where we started, our paper ended up turning out pretty great! Score: 5

    Thank you for the abstract and introduction. It was a great summary that identified the purpose of the paper. I really liked the quote at the beginning of the introduction. The conclusion, as well, was a nice summary of the writing. Your paper was very organized. The headings made me feel like I needed to read on. It stressed the importance of the topics ("Immensely Important Instructional Intentions"). Very well done.

    Thank you for the positive comments. I realize I am late on commenting. I got confused on the dates. I do appreciate the comments on the organization especially because I think that is what the group stressed the most. We planned a lot, stressed organization, used many APA checklists, and tried our best! Thanks again.
