Distance Learning
Upon registering for this course, I wasn’t
sure what to expect. I knew that it was
online, but I didn’t know that I would be introduced to so many platforms and
online ways to engage my digital natives.
My sixth graders, that are piloting a 1:1 next year, are going to love this
variety of ways to interact online.
They
are going to benefit from the enthusiasm that I have gained during this
course. I am especially excited to be
able to see the projects that my colleagues are coming up with because I hope
that I can use some of their ideas for my own class next year.
Knowing
that I was piloting the 1:1 made me feel nervous. Now, I feel like I am better equipped to
deliver lessons in this format. It is
not that I did not know that these platforms existed, but I feel like having to
come up with a lesson made me think about what I wanted to do for my own
classes next year. The biggest thing I’ve
learned in this course is that the combination of platforms makes for a
powerful, cohesive way to interact with and engage groups of students!
