  • If you don’t start off at the beginning giving them feedback that has meaning for them, the quality of their work slips
  • If they know that somebody really cares about what they’re doing and [makes] that personal connection, they will work to that expectation. If they don’t think the instructor is spending time with their work and simply says, ‘Oh, you did a great job’ but doesn’t make anything personal, they figure, ‘Oh well, the instructor skimmed the information,
  • it’s important to include examples from students’ work so they know that you have read it.

    There seems to be a widespread belief that every college or university is already deeply enmeshed in online learning. The reality is that many schools are still trying to figure out their online learning strategy. If you are thinking about investing in a new online learning program then you will have no shortage of advice.

    For those who may be a bit unclear on how to use Twitter for a class, the article includes varied strategies. Some of the ideas have already been mentioned in our discussions and responses as we worked through the second module, but there are a few other points that may be noteworthy. Second, the article affirms some of the ideas already shared, especially for those of us who were initially unfamiliar with twitter's potential application.

    I'm still not convinced I want to use Twitter in my classes, but this gives a lot of good information.

    I must admit that when I first heard about Twitter I thought it represented the apex of what concerns me about internet technology: solipsism and sound-bite communication. While I obviously spend a great deal of time online and thinking about the potential of these new networked digital communication structures, I also worry about the way .....

    Do you remember what inspired you to go to college? Take a minute, think back, and see if you can recall the specific moment. Maybe it was your first glimpse of a college campus near home. Maybe a trusted teacher encouraged you to study a field you loved.

    The faculty at my college have been discussing this current article that discusses how "at least 45 percent of undergraduates demonstrated no improvement in critical thinking, complex reasoning, and writing skills in the first two years of college, and 36 percent showed no progress in four years."

    Greetings all! I choose this url because I had to many windows open to do anything else. I have this all together now, I think. My correct blog name is rmichellewalton.wordpress.com I am now seeing how important technology is to education. This has truly been a teachable moment for me. As I become more and more familiar with technology, I will begin to gradually incorporate it into my classes. Twitter for Academia has opened my eyes to another way to facilitate the educational process. This is a great article.

    I've heard good things about VSee especially with video talking with people in countries with lower bandwidth Internet connection. It features group video conferencing, file sharing, and I think screen sharing too.

    Since many online courses are offered in a compressed format, some may think courses are "easier." This article talks about a study that was done that shows that is not the case. If there is a difference, it is because of the instructor. Interesting.
