ETAP640amp2012: are you prepared to change the way you teach? - 1 views

  • We are consistently engaged in critical thought, Alex’s expectations are clear and supported with models, and we receive feedback that is not only timely, but it is also specific to our particular needs. Although we use a good amount of technology, it does seem to enhance our purpose and was chosen with objectives in mind. The technology—blogs, discussion forums, diigo, etc. serve to enhance our learning experiences and make our learning visible to one another (haven’t we heard that before!?!)

      Double EUREKA!!!! : )
  • three essential times in relation to the delivery of a course that are instrumental for our success: in the design, before students enter the picture; in the implementation, while we are teaching the course; and in the reflection, as we use student feedback in considering improvements to the course.

  • It feels like she was purposeful in everything she has laid out for us.
  • Is it because of the rush of accomplishing we didn't think we could? Is it the sense of strength and empowerment we feel from realizing how far we've come? Can these things be attributed to our high levels of satisfaction with this course development process?

  • I wonder if this is part of Alex's intentional instructional design or if that's purely a coincidence.

  • BRILLIANT
  • I completely changed the direction and tone of my opening module.  I changed from a generic introductory icebreaker to one that has more focus, and I also plan to have my students discuss and set the classroom etiquette for themselves in the first module, rather than simply handing this down as set policy.  I’m feeling really good about these changes! 
  • Thanks, Alex!

  • This was the most important thing I learned – to hand trust back to my students, and that it is not only OK to do so, but it actually makes a better class.

  • If students come into a class or learning environment feeling that they know everything than they likely will feel no anxiety at all and may even boo too confident to learn

  • That brings me to my first question for Alex: Was our reaction typical? In other words, do students normally begin the course feeling the way we were feeling? 
  • Were the VoiceThread introductions and the “opening” of the course two weeks prior to the actual start date a means for getting some specific information about who we would be as your students? Also, did you use this information to make any alterations to the course?
    • alexandra m. pickett
      alexandra m. pickett on 16 Jul 12
       
      Opening the course 2 weeks before is a good practice on a number of fronts... one it gives the early birds something to do, it helps students work through technical difficulties prior to the start of the course, it helps students decide if the course is for them AND it gives me some preliminary view of the students who may be part of the class community that term. It also really helps me prep by knowing what the background is of the students, what their expectations are, and what their disciplines are. I can begin to collect and tag resources based on the interests, expectations, and disciplines of the students.

  • In a case study examining asynchronous audio and text-based feedback in class of students, Ice, Curtis, Wells and Phillips (2007), found a higher level of satisfaction with asynchronous audio feedback among students in the study. In our class, I appreciate the audio feedback that Alex provides for both groups and me individually. It helps to clarify things, allows me to continuously review the material, see my mistakes and make my improvements. My hope is to be able to learn to do this and include as part of my course.

  • In exploring the Community of Inquiry framework more in depth, I am led to wonder if one of the three presences (teacher, social, and cognitive) should be the priority. While this module’s assigned reading and presentation focus on teaching presence, I believe that ultimately the goal of teaching presence is to support cognitive presence. The goal of social presence is to support cognitive presence as well.
