I’ve included the student need for teaching presence in my discussion rubric but need to further create ways to be part of their learning. This might be just sitting on the sidelines and observing until I feel the need to re-set the climate for learning if it’s off track.

By doing these activities I have become even more challenged and feel even more uncomfortable. Now I am dipping my other foot in to the online course world. I am inserting my knowledge to this new forum. It’s as if I’m putting my quarter in and watching the wheels turn until they stop on something. What will that something be? I must have felt that I was in some kind of comfort zone. Then I was understanding and proving myself valuable to the other student’s learning.
