Brian Sauerbrei on 18 Jul 11Wow, this is certainly a sentence loaded with many educational concepts. It would take me a week just define those concepts!
-
Brian Sauerbrei on 18 Jul 11I need to add a few more words to explain my interest in this passage. This passage indicates why teaching and learning aren't only important, but they can be difficult, too.

jorge malagon on 21 Jul 11Online instruction is growing across the nation, the main reason in the lower cost, compared with the traditional classroom; experts indicate there is not enough evidence online instruction is indicated to all teenage students. I have seen many of them dropping online classes in Plato; kids need to socialize.

Provides substantive, timely, and constructive feedback to students
-
Hopefully, that is a aspect that can be achieved through online quizzes and tests. I wonder how else it coud get done?
-
Can also get consturctive feedback through google docs where you could make comments right on the document the student is working on.
-
I'm hoping to see the benefits of Google docs as my district pushes their use this school year. I the idea of a comment area.
-
I am looking forward to providing immediate feedback to students using some of the assessment programs.

There is a service called crocodoc.com that allows you to mark student work, written work I should say. This will be another alternative to marking. Glogster & kidblog allow you to make comments for the students.

Last year my son had an English class that made use of googledocs and online comments. The teacher didn't always get back to him in a timely manner. Plus, even though they saw each other everyday in class, they didn't talk about the issues on writing the essay on googledocs.

Communicates with students effectively and consistently
-
This concept could be much more difficult than what it appears, especially when it comes to typing conversation back and forth between people.
-
I find it interesting that this concept is somewhat buried in the list of items. To me, it is the most important one.
-
Your first point is well-taken, Brian. Add to that the difficult task of a teacher trying to communicate with their elementary-aged students in person and now attempting to do the same thing online. Not for the faint of heart!
