What I am finding useful for teaching online...

What I am finding most useful is knowing the essential skills for an online teacher.  After reading about and taking quizzes on the skills needed to be on online teacher I know which areas I will need to improve in to be a successful online teacher.  Gaining experience using the web 2.0 tools is valuable also.  This is something that I think I could have done on my own but I am sure I learned faster and focused on the most useful tools exploring them in conjunction with this course.  After this course, I will continue to explore them and learn more.

  1. Yes, we can probably learn this on our own, but I need a kick in the butt to move sometimes. If I get the opportunity to teach an online course, or should I say, if I'm called upon to teach an online course, I'll certainly know now to start slow with them on the technology.

  2. Hi Natalie,
    I also agree that if I hadn't taken this course there is a lot out there that I would eventually hear about but that I would be behind the times on. I am also glad to have had the "kick in the butt"!
