I can now see that learning to transform my ideas and beliefs about learning IS GOING TO require a constant and steady flow of reflective inquiry.
I KNOW! It is so overwhelming at times. I just keep telling myself "it's all going to be worth it!" It is extremely comforting, however, to hear the experts in the field and those who have been doing this for a long time saying that they felt the same way when they first began.
I do not know all that there is to know about online learning
I need to move outside of comfort zone to make this course work!
I am able to read the discussion posts and announcements while I’m on the road, at work, exercising or shopping. I am able to stay connected to the course, and this has been a great help to my learning.
I'm a little jealous :-) I don't have internet on my phone, so I have to wait to be home to do any work at all. It must be nice to always have the option of connecting!
This has proved to be one of the more difficult portions of this course. It takes me hours to create a quality post, but I do learn a lot in the process.
it is teaching presence not teacher presence. there is a big difference. : )
This course allows me to learn the theoretical underpinnings of learning and teaching online, but also allows me to apply what I have learned and “make the connection” to my professional life and to the greater world!
From this point on, I have made the decision to be strategic about the design and impact of my course on my faculty’s personal and professional lives.
