the teacher only has to think creatively and give the students good instructions, he hasn’t have to give them lists of words and definitions that is the most boring part of constructing a course, and a lot of work.
-
I love to think that the process of re-conceptualizing a curse to go online can change the way teachers teach this way, and as I learned too, this change is not only for online classes, in face to face too, because it opens their minds, it makes them think and evaluate their old classes, their old evaluations, and most teachers change the way they teach face to face too, because they realize that traditional teaching doesn’t work face to face either. And they don’t change because they have to change, they have an excuse for changing, so online teaching is a catalyst for transforming teachers.
-
A lot of students never felt engaged and I have never understood that until now. The kind of activity I used to do was active and contextualized to the world, but not everybody has the same word or interests, so I think the only way to engage everybody is to ask them what they want to learn, or make them choose. Something I have never done is to empower my students to lead their own learning process. I have had problems trusting in them I have never give them freedom to be creative, lead a group, do research, look for something new, let them teach me something. I haven’t tried to get out the outlines, be more risky. I don’t know how it would be not to have the control of their learning process, but I would like to try. I learned a very interesting thing: they can find their own material, they can learn the things they like and are related with their own interests, they can lead a discussion about a topic they like and engage others in the discussion. They are able to do a lot of things and we have to take advantage of that as teachers because, if we do all the work, who is learning?
-
So, as I learned form Alex, the question is not “what can I teach online?”, the question is “how can I teach online the thing that I want to teach?”,
-
I don’t know if the question is “which students can be good online learners”, the question is “how can I engage most of them and help them to learn” however they are, because we can’t control that.
-
That is why I think it is so important to have questions in order to construct our knowledge, so I really understand that to make people think you have to guide them to have questions , not answers. And how to do that? The best way to do that, according to what I read in The role of questioning teaching, thinking and learning, is making the students do things, if they are passive they are not going to have questions, and also, make them good questions that are provocative and makes them think about what they are interested in solve or understand or do, and other kinds of question that lead students to critical thinking.
-
I think that in order to achieve a sense of community between your students you have to give them diverse and frequent opportunities for interaction between them and with you, it is not about knowing each other and working in groups in some activity, you have to interact a lot with all your classmates to build a community and feel that you belong to the class. So you have to design diverse activities and spaces for interaction, sharing and communication between students and with you. Also, you have to teach and guide the students in how to interact, how to contribute, how to add knowledge to the conversation, how to give their classmates feedback, how to reinforce their opinions, how to support them, how to answer their questions, how to evaluate them, how to question them, how to agree or refute them, how to make a comfortable climate for learning and a lot of other things related to create a sense of teaching presence and a sense of belonging to the group.
-
By teaching to their classmates students can understand more deeply the content, develop other skills like being creative, they have to think deeper in how to explain a concept and create good examples, and learn from their classmates, from their questions and from the interaction between them.
-
I like the idea of having a community blog
-
i didn't realize this would be a community blog. I LOVE this idea!!! have you thought of using ning for this? that way the space can persist as your faculty commmuity beyond the end of the development cycle.
-
-
I needed a Blog
-
yes, it should be a blog... not a wiki... you should look at ning for this... it provides the blog functionality wrapped with additional community ans social networking features...
-
-
sometimes we think the only way of engaging students is entertaining them. That is not true,
-
-
And even better, how Shoubang sounds so familiar and close to the students in the welcome document without anything fancy technology, only text, but it seems so easy to find him in there and so friendly.
-
We project who we are. People don't just leave their offline personalities behind when they go online. If a person is outgoing in real life, he will also be outgoing online (I think). But apparently, the online environment is good for shy people...
-
-
I think that this work is very creative, and as I remember in one of the first reading of this course (”10 ways online…”),
-
This is the creative aspect of teaching which I love as well. How can we ever be bored being a teacher? We are being creative all the time.
-
-
I don’t know why but I love it! I can review it forever, and I always have new ideas, and I love that.
-
some faculty’s opinions is that they feel younger because they feel the same feeling that they felt when they were teaching for the first time, and I think that they feel rewarded by their creation, their new product.

Hall (2010) acknowledges that there are benefits to technological approaches in teaching and learning, but rejects the idea that technology is a “panacea” for the netgen (net generation). Skiba (2007, p.100), however, strongly argues that these emerging technologies “will transform the way nursing education is offered” in the future.
-
Today's students are experienced in digital interaction from an increasingly early age
-
The first benefit to using YouTube in teaching and learning is that it is a recognised tool from the digital environment of the netgen
-
already being used as both an informal and formal learning tool by many
-
it can be accessed anywhere at any time.
-
students can engage with their learning at a time and place to suit them.
-
YouTube as a tool in the classroom can lead to increased engagement in several key ways.
-
keeps students' attention focused. This is especially pertinent in the digital era with the reducing attention span
-
visual methods of delivery is an established method of keeping material ‘memorable’
-
Therefore our students no longer need to trudge to the library and join a waiting list to access a suitable supporting material.

Therefore the role of the lecturer is to stimulate discussion
-
They describe this as the: ‘process of video postings as self education, UTers thus practice the pedagogy of learning-by-doing as “performative pedagogy” that they effectively engage in their everyday lives as a fundamental process of meaning-making’ (Kellner and Kim, 2009, p. 15).

Good techniques to use are presenting alternative sides of arguments and allowing discussions about the appropriateness of choices.

I want to challange you, just like i challanged Ian (who is currently smitten with Prensky : ) to challenge the notion of natives vs. immigrants. Read this (http://steve-wheeler.blogspot.com/2011/05/natives-are-revolting.html), find other articles (and there are many) that unpack the problems with this notion, and come back and tell us all about it.

I have been spending quite a bit of time and energy learning the Moodle system,
-
I think I spent the entire weekend last week playing around in Moodle, learning how things worked, and trying to set up my basic module outline. Once I got the hang of it, I kinda like it. I find with technology that it just takes time and patience (not my forte) to really grasp it. I don't think computer skills of any kind can be learned from a book alone; it needs to be hands on learning. -
I completely agree! I am a very hands on and visual person, I need to INTERACT with the material in real life or else it's just text on a page.
-
-
It is ENGAGING
-
Very. I found myself not wanting to step away from the computer, even to eat. Eventually, I got hungry enough and forced a break.
-
Yes! The faculty on the SLN website even said that online teaching is an addiction!
-
-
Blackboard
-
The two other online courses that I took were both on Blackboard. I've never actually taken a course in Moodle. I have no idea what my course will look like when I'm done, but I'm very curious.
-
-
I’m really starting to get the hang of the expectations for posts
-
Took me a while as well, but now I feel more comfortable with my posts. I wasn't doing enough research. Once I started doing that, I felt like I was contributing something to the whole class.
-
-
-
I had the same thought. I only hope that the computer lab is open during my class time. -
Your sticky notes are usually "floating" so I never know what you're commenting on. Can you make them stationery?
-
I wonder the same thing...this applies to several blogs ago. I guess we need to add a date or title.
-
-
This course has been the most difficult course that I have ever taken
-
I was teetering between dropping the class

-
I am still under the impression that the interactions required of us in the discussion space are too numerous.
-
I LOVE LOVE LOVED that Bill Pelz commented on our posts! I felt like a celebrity walked into the room and his comments could be equated to getting an autograph.
-
I have learned a lot this module, especially: NEVER give up (this has been especially resonant with me) Passion for teaching and learning go hand in hand, and are a must-have for online educators The best training tool for an online teacher is to be an online learner BE ORGANIZED MANAGE YOUR TIME Support your students and your faculty (whatever your role is) And last, but not least (yes, this was intentional) don’t procrastinate.

half of the requirement for this class.

please read the rubric. it is NOT required that you do 12 posts. this is your own self imposed choice if you do. The minimum is 6 - maximum 12. it is entirely up to you.
-
-
I was given this gift: show your students the importance of reflection.
-
There was absolutely nothing about my course learning activities that was learner-centered, or, one could argue, learning-centered! I was being extremely teacher-centered in my approach!
-
Because of that, I need to embrace these tools, explore new ideas, and for goodness sake- think about the STUDENT.
-
It took me almost two and a half hours just to set up a voicethread that didn’t crunch all of my text and pictures together! Or get the right size and color font. I realize that these are all things that cannot be explained to anyone, or if you did try and tell them, they wouldn’t understand how much work it is until they tried it themselves.
-
I, like the others in this course, understand. It's a lot of work, but the finished product will be worth it, I'm sure.
-
-
I think that embedding a youtube video or loading a podcast are in my future and I can’t wait!
-
-
I made all of my assignments turned in to me, privately,
-
I too had made this mistake with some short writing assignments that I was going to have my students write. It was Alex's suggestion to have them blog it that really made sense. This way they could read each others blog entries and leave comments as well.

This week, as we are supposed to have the course “done done” I am doubting myself. Every time I log in to my course I change something, add wording, create new links to rubrics where there weren’t any, etc. It just seems like I’m never satisfied.
-
So glad I'm not alone. I keep logging in as well, looking to change something. Over the past 3-4 days I've definitely made changes, but I'm getting to the point now that I'm wondering if I should just leave it alone. I'm the same way about large writing project...always looking to edit. Thinking it might be time for me to step back from the computer.
-
I thought done, done, done is at the end...aren't we going to have peer feedback next module?
-
-
I’ll have my master’s in December and I couldn’t be more proud.

CONGRATULATIONS! I'll finish in December as well. It's been a long journey, and as much as I've enjoyed it, I'm ready to have my weekends back :-)

#1- I’m scared of the idea of real live students actually taking my course #2- I’m really disappointed that real live students will never take my course
-
I'm glad you said this, because I've been thinking it for several weeks now. I really want a chance to teach it, but I'm afraid of getting a chance to teach it. I'm not a teacher by profession, so I think I have more fear than most that I won't be able to facilitate my course properly. For instance, how do I open modules, are grades recorded automatically or do I manually put them in, how do I get them to show for each individual student, etc. I've put so much time and effort into building this course, I want a chance to teach it, but having never taught at the college level, I don't know that I'll get the opportunity. I will still give it my best shot as soon as I graduate in December. If SUNY isn't interested, I'll try other avenues.

"live students" when you do teach live students you will discover kinks you never saw...this semester I had a great activity that 18 of 19 students loved! The discussions were full of every presence. The I discovered that my student from China was so lost and overwhelmed. Now I am rethinking cultural sensitivity in my activities...how do I balance a activity that engages 99% of my students 110%, but looses one student because of a cultural difference...still thinking on this.
-
-
feedback
-
I don't know if I should have done this, but I actually have 2 evaluation/feedback areas. One is the generic resource right in Moodle. I tried to write my own questions, but when I "viewed" the forum, my questions were replaced with the generic questions. So, I created a document with my own questions and I am having students download the document into a word processor, add their answers and then post to a forum.
-
-
o there will likely never be online courses at Mildred Elley.
-
Can you teach it elsewhere? As we have learned in this class, online learning is up and coming. It might be worth looking into.
-
Failures maybe because the facilitators did not "know" and "do" what "you" know...convince him to try your course as an experiment...because this is the future of education...This summer I taught one online course and had a student from China, several from the west coast, and only two within driving distance in a class of 20!

quality with the traditional classroom in the public eye?
-
I think you're probably right, but I think it's turning a corner. At a time when institutions are scrambling for money, online learning costs them very little. They pay an instructor and that's about it. We don't need a classroom or any campus resources other than student access to the library for research if they need it.

My dissertation chair gave me wonderful advice...Enough is enough! If we recognize that we are always evolving, growing, expanding, deepening our understanding...then we understand that a "project" is just a snap shot of one time in our progress.
-
-
the more effort you put into it, the more successful you’ll be.
-
One thought I had, as I look forward to getting a PhD, is that theories come from practice which means that theories about online learning come from individuals creating courses, teaching courses, and collecting feedback from courses over and over and then after all of that work is finished, turning right around and working at analyzing the data, and attempting to answer research questions. In order to have credible research, the questions must be relevant, the measures must be valid and thorough, and the analyses of results must be comprehensive.
-
Reflective Writing: I have to admit, at the beginning of the course I thought the blogging activities were just busy work. I viewed the assignments as busy work, and treated my entries as such. As time ticked on, I started getting into the blogs and realizing that it was my personal space in which I could reflect on my work on my course and my learning throughout the week/module. So much of life and learning in school is sort of thrown at you, and if you don’t take the time to intentionally deconstruct the events and make sense of them, then you’ll never grow and improve. I’d rather grow.
-
If I don’t place intentional emphasis on something (like making it worth a portion of their grade) then I am sending a message that it’s not important.
-
Nothing should be an accident or “just because” in the online teaching environment.
-
Students don’t want their time wasted.
