ITEC 7480 is a course that has given me more confidence to incorporate blended/online learning into my classroom. Prior to this course, I desired to bring more online tools and modules into my classroom, but did not feel that it would be structured and meet the needs of my students in the way it was supposed to. After taking this course, I can confidently implement these techniques and strategies into the classroom. I effectively use the INaCOL standards when designing and developing my online modules. I can now share this information with colleagues in my school. This will beneficial as our school transitions to a new learning management system that warrants more online and blended techniques for the teachers and students to use and work with. In my classroom, I will be able to utilize the tools inside our learning management system better and create authentic learning tasks for them.
I am thankful for the opportunity that this course has provided and the discussions that provided me with new perspectives on online/blended learning. The field experiences allowed me to see how to properly plan and prepare an online module. I am looking forward to implementing it in the classroom this upcoming school year. I am sure that I learn from that experience as well. I also conducted a Twitter chat with our professor and fellow classmate. This is something I have always wanted to do. I am excited to host more of these in the future. It taught me how to develop questions that will warrant responses that fit within the character limit of a tweet and how to still make the questions and responses seem like bite-sized professional development for all that attend. I hope to bring more bite-sized professional development to my school and community.
