Really has some nice information on tools available for online teaching.

Hi Kathy, good solid article and my favorite part related to one of the pod casts that we were assigned for Module 4 this week in our TT class. DeMarias says that the synchronous on line class should not be a literal translation of the f2f and she suggests the same concept as this article: a reconceptualization of the course all together. My least favorite part of the article was that we are developing "digital citizens of tomorrow". I totally agree but the sound of it is so robotic. :)

Editor's Note: This article first appeared in the May 2017 issue of Teaching for High Potential. Research from Mathematica and CREDO have shown disappointing results for online schools, though the studies do not address how well or poorly they serve gifted students.

5 Differences Between MOOCs, Online Degree Programs Expect greater access to your professor in an online degree program than in massive open online courses.

This is a new favorite tool for gathering feedback from a group. Feedback is gathered as free-text and compiled into a word cloud. Since the survey can be left open for up to 1-2 weeks, this would work well as either a synchronous session tool or an asynchronous tool.

Teacher resources for class. Surveys, worksheets, etc.

Online tools database for teaching resources.

These online collaboration tools will enable students to communicate and collaborate fast and easily. This will sustain their interest, improve focus and they would be able to contribute in best possible way and get quality results in turn.

Great way to organize and set up tools for your class!

This activity blends just the right amount of instruction, guidance and interactivity to teach some concepts of quadratic equations. Specifically it reinforces the concepts of the axis of symmetry and the vertex.

Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner was a New York Times bestseller in the early 2000's. Here is the description of Stephen Dubner's Radio Show: "Freakonomics Radio is an award-winning weekly podcast (subscribe here!) with 8 million downloads per month. It can also be heard on public radio stations across the country, on SiriusXM, on several major airlines, and elsewhere. Host Stephen J. Dubner has surprising conversations that explore the riddles of everyday life and the weird wrinkles of human nature - from cheating and crime to parenting and sports. Dubner talks with Nobel laureates and provocateurs, social scientists and entrepreneurs - and his Freakonomics co-author Steve Levitt. Freakonomics Radio is produced by Dubner Productions and WNYC Studios."
