  • Discussion boards are reflective in nature. They force students to read other perspectives and carefully consider a response

      During a classroom session, not all perspectives can be heard due to time. In discussion boards, everyone has the ability to respond and reflect on the opinions of others. Reflecting is a benefical strategy because it allows for learning to occur. What strategy do you implement for reflecting?
    • Cynthia Rios
      Cynthia Rios on 14 Jun 14
       
      In my classroom, my students keep a reflection journal in which they write everyday. The prompts have to do with the story or novel that we are reading. I stay away from cookie cutter prompts and try to give prompts in which the students really have to reflect and give their point of view on the situation. I also had my students participate in literature circles. I think implementing the reflection journals and the literature circles onto an online discussion forum would be awesome for my students. I realize that even though I try to get them all to participate in class, some students are just not as open as others when it comes to in class participation even in a small group setting like the literature circles. Using an discussion board would ensure everyone participates.

      This past year, I used Edmodo with my students, and if they were reading a chapter for homework, I always posted a question for discussion. All students participated and generated an online discussion that carried over to the fluency of the next class.
    • natalie_cepeda
      natalie_cepeda on 16 Jun 14
       
      Cynthia, that is a great idea to keep a reflection journal for every day use. It even allows students to go back and see any changes in their own thinking or opinions. The literature circles are a great way to involve all group members by having enough jobs for them to complete one. Even if they get the team Illustrator, the student still has to share why they drew that and what significance it has to the project.

      Cinthia, I need to get on the ball with an online Discussion Board. My students would benefit tremendously! The use to posting their thoughts online is more engaging than just writing a summary paper on the chapter they read.
  • The social aspects of the face-to-face classroom are very intimidating for many students, especially for ESL speakers, new students, and those who are simply shy or quiet.

      Has this experience happened to you in a previous class where you hinder your comments and ideas to everyone because you do not want to receive a negative reaction?
    • Cynthia Rios
      Cynthia Rios on 14 Jun 14
       
      Yes, of course. This has happened to me personally. For whatever reason even when we are on a collaborate session I sometimes feel intimidated, and I get very nervous. What I've noticed though is that if I have taken the professor or classmates before, I am not as nervous, and I actually enjoy participating. I think my intimidation has to do with the fear of the unknown.
    • cinthia_sierra
      cinthia_sierra on 15 Jun 14
       
      Absolutely. Like Cynthia says, "the fear of the unknown" is unsettling. As part of my elective requirements, I am taking this class along with EDTC 6341, and the use of a wiki was foreign to me. I'm still adjusting and asking questions is intimidating or even humiliating at times.

      Sean Getchell on 15 Jun 14
       
      I might be a little different, but I have found that the older I get, the less I care what others think. While the face-to-face environment can be slightly intimidating, the fully online experience can be equally so. I think it honestly depends on the student, and their ability to jump into the unknown, and make it a part of their "known" world. Plus, once you get a little experience under your belt, usually a person is more likely to share their thoughts, ask question, or more likely to help others if they see a fellow student struggling. Pay it forward, indeed!
    • natalie_cepeda
      natalie_cepeda on 16 Jun 14
       
      Cynthia, I understand your feeling. I once took an English class where we just sat in a circle and discussed classical literature. I honestly had no idea what was going in the play even though I would read and use resources like Spark Notes to understand what was going on. I did not like going to the class because everyone else knew what the professor was discussing and would make good points. I hardly spoke a word and would only speak when the professor called on me. The classroom environment has a lot to do with whether a student is going to feel comfortable or be shy.
    • natalie_cepeda
      natalie_cepeda on 16 Jun 14
       
      Sean, I agree with your claim that it depends on the student. Much like the assessment on whether a student is ready for online learning. Some students feel like they can tackle online learning while others refuse. So yes, every student has their own comfort zone.
  • As students reflect upon what they want to write in a discussion board posting, they often integrate research or class readings with which they are familiar. This occurs much more frequently in discussion board postings than in face-to-face discussions, largely because of the extra time a student has to think about their response
    • natalie_cepeda
      natalie_cepeda on 14 Jun 14
       
      In teaching, I have used a similiar strategy called the Wait-Time Response, where instead of demanding students to answer on the spot they have allotted time to actually think. The extra time that discussion boards allow is a powerful teaching tool. What is your view on the claim provided on the website?
    • Cynthia Rios
      Cynthia Rios on 14 Jun 14
       
      I absolutely agree with this and, I too give my students sufficient wait time. In regards to discussion boards, not only is the extra time a powerful tool but so is the fact that students can read and reflect on what other students have already posted. The extra time and being able read other posts is very for students that struggle with putting their thoughts into words.
    • cinthia_sierra
      cinthia_sierra on 15 Jun 14
       
      This is truly powerful. I had a student who rarely spoke in class, yet the minute I posted a discussion question in regard to the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, he inspired many through his analysis and wowed me as well. I would have never known his insightful perspective had it not been for the power of discussion.
    • natalie_cepeda
      natalie_cepeda on 16 Jun 14
       
      Cinthia, hearing the story of your story is music to my ears! I am glad that even though the student was not able to express vocally their thoughts were heard on Discussion Boards. Another personal testimony that Discussion Boards help students express themselves.

  • mrigal on 27 Jul 14
     
    Discussion Forums are a useful source for learning. There are forums for different types of information. Think about a subject and there will usually be a forum about it. Through my experience, discussion forums had been very helpful. For example, if I am having a technical issue about a specific computer program or hardware, discussion forum have helped me solve the issue because usually someone else had the same issue and had a solution. In the classroom student can join discussion forums pertaining to the subject matter. Students can communicate with other students and share experiences and knowledge. This link is a forum about all technology which can help CTE departments.
  • Jose Davila on 04 Aug 14
     
    I myself like discussion forums. I find them to be very educational in learning about information you did not know. I find it to be a very successful tool in education because it unites students to have group participation. Its interesting how you learn from other students and they learn from you from the information you are discussing during the discussion forums. It is a valuable tool for everyone to use and experience because you will find that you learn a lot from a discussion forum.

      I actually see value in DBs as an evaulation of learning (though I am not advocating that is all they are). What do you use your boards for?
    • cinthia_sierra
      cinthia_sierra on 15 Jun 14
       
      I use my discussion boards to generate thinking while reading. If I ask my students to read a chapter of a particular novel at home, many read without using the proper metacognitive skills to track their learning causing them to simply skim the reading without fully comprehending the text. Therefore, I post a question that can possible generate various types of discussion by all students, thus forcing them to think critically while reading which contributes to their overall comprehension.

      Do you feel connected to others in this program through DBs. Yes or No? If yes, what have you discovered that draws you and another together? If no, have you found it through another means and how does it connect you where the DB does not?

      Definitely. Online education can be difficult at times since you miss out on the face-to-face interaction that enhances the chances to collaborate. However, online forums keep the lines of communication open and after several discussions or classes, you start feeling like you know the person.

    Getting student participation can be challenging. Thoughtful creativity can be very beneficial. This article focuses on thoughtful creativity to deepen learning, connections and thinking.
  • kdauphiney on 22 Jun 14
     
    Creativity is key to unlocking the flow of ideas in any classroom. Once students know that they have the freedom to create, then they feel unrestricted in their learning and want to offer ideas for exchange. It is this concept that allows for the think/pair/share method of learning that we use in classrooms today. It also allows the teacher to see that each student is different in the way that they process the information and formulate a response to the prompt.

      Cannot highlight text in an infographic :). I prticularly like this "bullet" (not in bullet form). Tone is absolutely one of the hardest things to communicate and only great writers communicate accurately every time, and they do after many many edits and re-writes. Being overly polite is the best course of action. Personaly, I alomost lost a dear friend because she didn't understand my sarcasm in a Facebook post. It was the last time I tired to be sarcastic online.

      Ben, I am sure that I do not follow this rule very well and need to work on it! When I speak, I use a lot of voice inflection so people understand my intentions. I have even noticed that when speaking on Collaborate, tone does not transfer well there either, and I have been misunderstood. However, it is funny because sometimes I will write and re-write an email worried that someone will take me the wrong way. I never mean harm. For example, with someone that has unfair working conditions, I naturally have the tone, "Bless your heart." But, it is not always taken that way! I do wonder if it is a cultural thing?

      Long replies, or posts, are not detrimental. They just aren't read. Giving away quite a bit here, but this is my confession. In previous classes that had discussion questions or boards, I rarely read posts over 200 words. That may seem rediculous, but I have prefer posts that get the heart of the matter quickly and effectively as apposed to excessive posts. Therefore, this is a great point to keep in mind.

      Nothing in our society erodes people's confidence in someone else's intelligence as quickly as bad grammar and poor spelling. There are, of course, exceptions... like when the whole tone of the DB is very casual or is filled with a certain vernacular or jargon. On the whole, a few seconds of editing is always worth it.

    This informative article/web page had a lot of useful information regarding Discussion Forums. It started by defining what a discussion forum is, which is basically an LMS application that allows for restricted access communication between group members on a specified topic or subject matter. Discussion boards can be very helpful in making online students feel a part of a community and giving them a voice on a variety of subjects. They are very helpful in extending learning to beyond the classroom by forcing interaction amongst not only the students, but also amongst all the resources available to the students on a particular subject matter. It can increase instruction time and allows for a more democratic exchange of ideas between the participants. It is important to make sure that if you decide to utilize a discussion forum in your class that you are properly prepared and that you make the interaction a requirement of the course, otherwise it is likely that nobody will participate. It is also very important that you provide examples and clearly state your expectations of the participants, such as how many posts and responses they are required to do in a specific amount of time, etc.. As an instructor you will want to begin with a minimal presence and give the students time to acclimate themselves to the interface and the process of using the discussion forum. You will want to maintain a positive and professional attitude at all times and make sure that you are monitoring the involvement of the students regularly. When properly utilized, Discussion Forums can be a huge benefit and positive addition to a course, but I feel that it is important to make sure that the students see the added value of completing the assignments so that they will do a quality job and not feel as if they are being forced to do "busy" work.

    I've highlighted a few parts of this article that I thought summed up the gist of the material. Click on the link above to see the highlighted/annotated parts. Overall, interesting food for thought. I can see animation being helpful for motivation and inter-disciplinary skills in ways that normal lessons wouldn't be. Given the fact that there are an increasing number of web 2.0 tools available to remove the difficulty from animation, what are ways that you can forsee animation being used in various classrooms and disciplines? - C Hilgeman

    Regarding a summary of Discussion Boards and their helpfulness... Discussion boards have been around for awhile and I've found that, for many, are the first thing that come to mind when hearing someone announce, "I'm taking an online class." They have been a staple of e-learning since its early days. The fact that they are still used in online education suggests that they are a useful tool for students. However, as with most tools, there are positives and negatives to using discussion boards for class. Here are a few positives: 1. They allow for collaboration between all students, not just the outspoken ones. 2. They provide a flexible way for students to interact. This is not only schedule-wise but also, for lack of a better term, circadian-rhythm-wise. Students who may not be fully awake and contributing at 8:00 a.m. in a traditional classroom may be much more likely to provide quality content at 11 p.m. if they are night owls. 3. Allows for increased interaction between professor/professionals and students. Discussion boards keep physical distance from being a hindrance between a subject-matter expert in Florida and a class in Seattle. A few negatives: 1. They allow for laziness. The fact that students won't be directly "confronted" about a minimal effort or faulty logic, or will only interact electronically can lessen motivation for excellence. 2. Cheating is easier. (If you have a friend who knows the material.) These are my initial thoughts regarding discussion boards. - C Hilgeman
  • kbanda on 28 Jul 14
     
    Discussion boards do have their pros and cons to them. I agree with you about the collaboration and integration between the students and teachers. The con that I agree with is that it allows for laziness. The students who are having to contact each other electronically tend to get used to this method and refrain from even trying to have a face to face interaction.
  • textraveller on 29 Jul 14
     
    That's an interesting observation - I haven't seen students using electronic over face-to-face when f2f would be easier. That may be b/c I'm usually in international schools or schools where phones aren't allowed to be used during the school day.
  • Jose Davila on 29 Jul 14
     
    I can certainly agree with your observation on the positives and negatives on taking on line classes. I feel that you need to be ready and prepared to take on line courses if you decide to. It can hurt you if you do not follow along timely and may cause you to fall behind if you are not mature enough to handle the responsibility of taking on line courses that comes with responsibility. I feel that anyone can be lazy whether your are skipping the actual class or just not taking on line classes seriously. I feel in the end it will hurt the individual and you will have to face the consequences. I personally like it because it works with my work schedule.
  • textraveller on 29 Jul 14

    This just blew my mind a bit!- collaboration and animation together. I do not know if I will need my coffee this morning. This is student engagement gold. As long as teachers can guide students in the right direction with this tool and tie it tightly to the content, we are going to see amazing things from this.
  • ksspurgin on 30 Jul 14
     
    I have sat through MANY incredibly boring presentations from my students. As much as I work to train them how to present in engaging ways, most of them, I think, are just mimicking what they see in most of their classrooms - PowerPoint bullets. I have made progress with my students but there's a lot of work to do! I had one group this past school year present using Powtoons - they actually introduced the tool to me. Every student in the class was fully engaged during that presentation. Animation works and can be a very valuable learning tool when used effectively.
  • textraveller on 02 Aug 14
     
    Morgan, you said it. The trick is to keep focused on the right direction and content. I think stuff like animation is great but can very easily devolve into entertainment. Kids (and sometimes teachers) sometimes see all the work put into an animation project and misconstrue that as achieving the educational goals. To put it another way, because hard work is involved, the participants sometimes feel like they are doing a good job on the goal, whether or not that work relates directly to the objective.
  • textraveller on 02 Aug 14
     
    Kevin, I'll have to check out Powtoons. It sounds vaguely familiar so I must have run across them at some point in time. Yeah, I'm with you on the bulleted powerpoints. I've started running my classes through the "Steal This Presentation" powerpoint that Dr. Sullivan had us go through and then including design as a small part of the grade. I don't grade very harshly, but it's enough to get kids thinking about more interesting presentations and it has helped to a certain degree.

I think even for an activity which could be done old school such as getting into groups and having a discussion, or done "new school" - having students discuss online in a forum, teaching students how to do this both ways is helpful since they're going to need to be skilled in both ways.
