      Try Wordle out for yourself. It is as easy to use as it is fun.
  • Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

    Wordle is a neat and fun tool for teachers to use in various ways in their classrooms. For example, concepts can be typed in and as a concept is repeated, the word enlarges. One of my schools used it to determine which words to use in their vision statement. The result became a beautiful work of art.

    One professor's experience using Poll Everywhere, including feedback from a student. Great for adult learning, and likely high school students would benefit as well.

      Using a wiki may be a great way for teachers planning a problem based learning unit to share their ideas and build the unit in an asynchronous manner.

      A wiki can store websites and resources teachers may need for a collaborative or joint unit of instruction.
  • Teachers can store files, images, videos, and other information in a special teacher access controlled area of the classroom Wiki.
  • Mary Blaisdell on 11 Sep 12
     
    "This technology tool is ideal for project-based learning, cross curricular projects in middle school teams, and thematic units. One advantage of Wikis in collaborative projects is that they are online."

  • Knows and aligns instruction to the achievement goals of the local agency and the state, such as with the Iowa Core (Varvel I.A, ITS 1.f, ITS 3.a)
    • Jake Bartels
      Jake Bartels on 12 Sep 12
       
      alignment with iowa core has to be extremely important
  • Tailors instruction to meet the different needs of students, including different learning styles, different interests and backgrounds, and students with special needs or whom are language learners (SREB C.7, Varvel V.H, ITS 4.c)
    • Jake Bartels
      Jake Bartels on 12 Sep 12
       
      Probably one of the most powerful standards. Allowing students to have instruction tailored to them is great
    • Tiffany Oppelt
      Tiffany Oppelt on 13 Sep 12
       
      I think that's what makes this form of learning so powerful. It allows to not only to provide extra support to those who need it, but also extension and enrichment for students who are ready to step it up. This naturally lends itself to differentiation.
  • Has experienced online learning from the perspective of a student (SREB F.1, Varvel II.E)
    • Jake Bartels
      Jake Bartels on 12 Sep 12
       
      For myself this is also very important. I know what it is like to take an online course and this can help guide me in making decisions about content and tools used.
    • Anne Opgenorth
      Anne Opgenorth on 18 Sep 12
       
      I am pleased to be experiencing the online course myself before implementing it in my class. It is certainly important to know what works and doesn't.
    • Heather Martens
      Heather Martens on 18 Sep 12
       
      Taking a course like this has been good for me in that it reminds me what it is like to be the student, and how difficult learning new things can be.

  • Networks with others involved in online education for the purpose of professional growth
    • Tiffany Oppelt
      Tiffany Oppelt on 15 Sep 12
       
      This struck me because I think that it is essential for us to network with each other to enhance instruction. With the tools and resources that are available to us, it is very easy to collaborate for professional growth.
  • Maintains an online social presence that is available, approachable, positive, interactive, and sincere
    • Tiffany Oppelt
      Tiffany Oppelt on 15 Sep 12
       
      I can see this as being a challenge, because of how easy it is to be misunderstood online. It is essential to make sure that you are approachable and positive, but making sure you come through that way can be tough.
    • Heather Martens
      Heather Martens on 18 Sep 12
       
      Because of the lack of face-to-face interaction, an online teacher would have to get used to constantly answering questions and troubleshooting through email and forums. This could be difficult at first.
  • Utilizes a course evaluation and student feedback data to improve the course (Varvel VI.F)
    • Brad Bjorkgren
      Brad Bjorkgren on 15 Sep 12
       
      It is very helpful to do an end of the class evaluation.  Students will always be honest with things they liked and disliked about the class.
    • Anne Opgenorth
      Anne Opgenorth on 18 Sep 12
       
      I agree. I find that an evaluation at the end of a course can be very helpful. Teachers can always benefit from honest feedback.
  • Creates a learning community that encourages collaboration and interaction, including student-teacher, student-student, and student-content (SREB D.2, Varvel VII.B, ITS 6.a)
    • Brad Bjorkgren
      Brad Bjorkgren on 16 Sep 12
       
      Creating a learning environment where students can learn from each other is very helpful to students for an online course.
  • Understands the differences between teaching online and teaching face-to-face
    • Mary Blaisdell
      Mary Blaisdell on 16 Sep 12
       
      Many similarities between the two but a real trick to accomplish in the online world. And the instructor needs to be aware of how to "read" people in the online participant world.
  • Designs the structure of the course and the presentation of the content to best enhance student learning, including using unit/lesson overviews and reviews, using patterns in lesson sequencing, and using appropriate visual web design techniques
    • Mary Blaisdell
      Mary Blaisdell on 16 Sep 12
       
      This will be important to assist learners in their progress through the course. Without good structure/content/techniques, the online instruction will likely be boring, inadequate and inaccesible.
  • • Continuously uses data to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of instructional strategies (SREB J.7, ITS 1.c)
    • Brandon Frohwein
      Brandon Frohwein on 17 Sep 12
       
      We have designed our science tests to be organized by learning targets from the Iowa Core and use our PLC teams to evaluate the scores on each target to modify instruction. Online instruction can also be set up by learning targets and the learning of those targets can be assessed and modify instruction.
  • • Continuously uses data to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of instructional strategies (SREB J.7, ITS 1.c)
  • • Understands student motivation and uses techniques to engage students (Varvel V.D, ITS 4.d)
    • Brandon Frohwein
      Brandon Frohwein on 17 Sep 12
       
      As educators we usually love our content because it is our chosen field. We have to continue to find ways to get students engaged in the topic. The same holds true for online education.
  • • Assists students with technology used in the course (Varvel III.C)
    • Anne Opgenorth
      Anne Opgenorth on 18 Sep 12
       
      it is important for the instructor to be competant in the technology used in the course in case the students have questions.
    • Joan Fredrickson
      Joan Fredrickson on 18 Sep 12
       
      I think this is what keeps teachers from using the technology. They are afraid the student will know more than they do. Which at times may be the case, but that only shows that we never stop learning. With that said, I do agree that instructors need to be competant in order to have a positive teaching experience.
  • Knows the content of the subject to be taught and understands how to teach the content to students
    • Joel Conn
      Joel Conn on 19 Sep 12
       
      Today's students are very adept at searching for and obtaining volumes of information. What separates a good course from the wealth of online content IS a teacher that knows how to teach students. Without knowledgeable and qualified teachers behind the online course, it probably won't be worth the effort, money or time of the student.
  • Communicates with students effectively and consistently
    • Joel Conn
      Joel Conn on 19 Sep 12
       
      Good communication is ALWAYS important be it in the classroom or online.
  • Designs the structure of the course and the presentation of the content to best enhance student learning, including using unit/lesson overviews and reviews, using patterns in lesson sequencing, and using appropriate visual web design techniques
    • Beth Lillskau
      Beth Lillskau on 23 Sep 12
       
      I think that designing on-line learning is so much more difficult than live teaching. I know what I am doing in the classroom and I scaffold and plan, but on-line seems to require planning. Sometimes I am simply too abstract-random for this to work for me.
    • Cathy DeValk
      Cathy DeValk on 24 Sep 12
       
      I agree, Beth--it seems more difficult to embrace the "teachable moment"--might not be in the lesson plan, yet could be a valuable lesson nonetheless.
  • Has experienced online learning from the perspective of a student
    • Beth Lillskau
      Beth Lillskau on 23 Sep 12
       
      I don't know how anyone could try and teach on-line if they hadn't experienced it themselves. I have learned so much about providing information on-line to students simply by being in classes. In fact, I took the moodle class because the last class I took used it and it was so much easier than a web-site.
    • Joan Fredrickson
      Joan Fredrickson on 25 Sep 12
       
      I agree, it is so important to experience the online learning from the perspective of a student. I have found that many online tools may be easy to implement but can have a bit of a learning curve when it comes to using it as a student. Its good to get some of the "kinks" worked out or at least be prepared for possible problems to eliminate the frustration if something doesn't go quite right.
  • Aligns assessment with course objectives
    • Cathy DeValk
      Cathy DeValk on 24 Sep 12
       
      Even more important to keep the course objectives clear and concise in the online relationship.
  • Brandon Frohwein on 17 Sep 12
     
    We have started giving tests with each section being a learning target based on the Iowa Core. We score each section separately then we use the data to see which targets the students struggle with and discuss new instructional strategies with our PLC team.
  • Cathy DeValk on 24 Sep 12
     
    Never thought of this--all teachers have been students, but not all online educators have been online students.
