Welcome to Week 3 of the New Online Teacher Course
Let's begin this week with a story.
Kim Lee, a colleague of yours, is a teacher who is new to online facilitation. She feels confident as an experienced teacher, but her transition to the online environment has presented some unique challenges. Currently, she is feeling anxious and somewhat discouraged. She requests a meeting with you for the purpose of exploring strategies to address some of these challenges.
How will you begin to assist her?
Welcome to Week 3.
Last week, we examined various ways to communicate online, with an emphasis on creating a learning community. This week, we will focus on some of the issues related to online facilitation. We will also briefly explore the creation of inter-active learning tasks to promote student engagement.
What burning questions, concerns do you have regarding working with students online?
Week 3 Learning Tasks
- Case Study
Go to the course Wiki and view the case study entitled "Lack of Participation."
Read the Scenario and post your analysis to the Wiki page.
Hopefully, as a group, you will be able to generate ideas that may ultimately be helpful to you when you are teaching online. - Blog Reflection
Complete your Blog reflection related to your learning experience thus far in this course, as described in the post for Week 2. Please send me the link to your blog, if you have not already done so. I am trying to compile a blog list for everyone to view. - Interactivity
Think about 1 inter-active strategy/activity that you will use with your online students. Post this idea to the Wiki site under the heading "Interactivity."
The workshop next week will examine Elluminate from the moderator perspective. Please contact Jimi Rockley (jrockley@georgebrown.ca) to request an Elluminate account.
An account is required in order to participate in the workshop. Please also bring your headsets with you.
