1. Create a plan on how you can extend your classroom. Explain how this would improve teaching and learning, how you can help meet the NETS-S for your students.
The librarians that I work with meet on a monthly basis. In one of those meetings recently they were introduced to the blogging/messaging component of Moodle within the district. They were asked to register right then and there and they began to message each other. What they were sharing was information and queries re: many of the things they handle on a daily basis.
I would like to take this further by introducing another piece before the year is out. When school begins again in September we will come back to this and begin to investigate more and more of the system/site. Relevant content will need to be added and they will all be part of how the site progresses. They will learn for themselves, from me, and from each other!
2. Choose the student role in Navigating the Land of Online Learning: (web.inghamisd.org/gettingonline/start.html) After looking at the student requirements, summarize what is necessary to be successful as an online student.
To become successful in an online class a student must be prepared to take the class and be able to self motivate. They must know the rules: netiquette, time management, copyright basics, and what it means to plagiarize. The Tech and Learning 10 Tips and Tricks for the Online Student (www.techlearning.com/article/2388) although published in 2004 is a practical demonstration on how to behave in an online class. I believe that the most important factor is the introduction and the preparation that must be done to get the student ready for an online class whether or not it is their 1st or their 10th.
