1. I predict that this course will be valuable to me because I will learn about many other tools that other teachers have used to help their students be successful. As education has changed, technology has continued to grow in the classroom. I think that by learning how to effectively teach online will allow me to adapt my instruction to a wider range of students and prove to be more effective for the general student population.

2. My intentions and goals for my learning in this course are to document helpful resources and bring this information back to my team to make our department stronger with online instruction. We have many students that will continue with online learning, and I hope to develop many tools we can use as a team to help our students be more successful!

My predictions of how this course may be valuable:
I would like to become better at facilitating or helping others facilitate effective instruction; particularly online.
With the first three modules, I imagine myself learning from other educators and experts.  Looking at best instructional practices will help me revisist overarching best instructional practices.  Oftentimes, this year in particular, I delve into teaching without taking the time to step back and look at why I am teaching something.  I often look at what I’ll be teaching and teach instinctively.  By going through each module, I believe my thinking will be renewed.

Whenever a group of colleagues has the same goal in mind, good things come.  I am expecting to gain valuable insight to use when I am reflecting on my own experiences and developing new ideas.

My intentions/goals are to look at what went well during Online teaching.  I remember a strong sense of urgency to reach every child I taught (36- 1st and 2nd graders).  I tried everything.  Students were involved in the decision-making process, they were independent and seeked out help when they needed to.  I noticed students’ were unleashing powerful learning that I did not think they were capable of.  At the end of the year, I was boasting about my students.  I was in awe of their accomplishments.  This is my goal for every school year.  I need to find a way to push students further than I ever thought I could and allow them to amaze me, and themselves, over and over again.  I believe after this class, I will be one step closer to that goal.

I intend to use “The Distant Learning Playbook, Grades K-12” for a resource that will guide me in my future practices.  The information is to the point, is data-driven, gives a solid foundation, and encourages all who read it to reflect after each big idea.

Big Goal:  Listen, reflect; observe, reflect; read, reflect; remember, reflect; converse, reflect; create; reflect….

1. How do I predict this course might be valuable to me?
Well, I am a one women team at my school, so any chance I have to collaborate with fellow educators is a plus. I am sure I will find wonderful ideas to improve my skills as I learn to incorporate new technology.
2. Through this course I hope to learn better ways to deliver demonstrations and lectures.

How do you predict this course might be valuable to you?

1.) I feel that this course will help to increase my confidence in my abilities to utilize and incorporate technology within learning experiences in the classroom and if necessary, a remote setting. I value hearing the experiences of others during this unprecedented time.  In addition, I value collaborating with my fellow educators and learning best practices through readings and shared experiences.

What are your intentions/goals for your learning in this course?

2.)  I hope that this course will allow me to explore and gain experience utilizing new online resources and apps. One of my goals is to learn from my peer’s experiences during remote teaching and borrow at least 3 strategies or resources that were impactful during learning experiences. I plan to share the strategies or resources learned from this course with my teammates and colleagues within my school.

1. How do you predict this course might be valuable to you?

Being part of a group of educator who are looking to improve their skills as remote teachers is an important part of improving my own skills. I always find value in collaborating with fellow educators  who want to improve. It is so much more inspiring than being with those who are just trying to get through. I think that the resources incorporated in the class will help expand my toolbox.
I also hope to hear of opportunities to utilize those skills.

2. What are your intentions/goals for your learning in this course?
I hope to expand the my understanding and ability to deliver quality remote learning for students.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I value the impact of the readings and other resources, but also
from hearing about the real life situations/benefits/challenges that you all experienced during remote learning. Although we do not all know each other, we were in "remote land" together and all survived. I believe that remote learning is here to stay, in one way or another, and that improving my knowledge and resources will only help me in the future.
2. Through this course, I hope to uncover new ideas and practices for remote teaching. I plan to share this information with my school team to strengthen our implementation of remote learning practices for our students.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Like many of my colleagues here, I hope to learn from one another. Theory is great, but experience matters. The practical lessons learned and shared by my colleagues here will resonate with me most. I look forward to that.
2. To that end, I intend to share my experiences and to look for ways in which others have used technology to do what we would normally do in our classrooms better because it's online. In other words, I want to learn better ways to do things, pandemic or not.

1. I predict that this course will be valuable to me in a few ways. The networking and ability to see each other's experiences and learn information from them will be very valuable. It is nice to know that I am not alone in certain struggles, triumphs, etc.
2. Two is the new content that I hope to learn. While I have become proficient in Google Meet, I still would like to learn how to do more interactive lessons online and with different platforms. Our school district did not use Zoom as we were told it was not secure and it times you out after 40 minutes. I look forward to learning new tips and sites that make learning more fun and engaging in case we do go back to full remote.

1. I think this course will be valuable for me to be able to learn and discover new creative ways of remote learning and virtual learning for students who may learn differently. I am excited to not only learn from the course, but also connect and learn from other educators in the state. I think my population of students, although small, had a VERY hard time with remote learning and I want to best prepare myself for any future circumstance. I am excited to learn new resources, approaches, and engagements for my students and their peers.

2. My goals for this course include learning new resources for remote learning, discover new ways to engage students both with disabilities but also with their peers, and create a bigger toolbox for my upcoming teaching year. I think there were a lot of positives that came out of remote learning and my goal is to pinpoint those positives to continue using in my teaching career.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  I expect that my district will follow the same plan that we followed this past school year and I wish to be completely prepared for the yo-yoing between remote and in-person.  I am hoping this course and my fellow students will introduce me to technology programs that will improve and simplify my delivery of lessons to my students, as well as my students' ability to engage, respond and learn.
2. I am a special ed teacher and have individual goal.s for each of my students in their area(s) of weakness. However, one common goal for my students is in the area of transition (education and employment). This is probably the most individualized and personal piece of teaching I do with each of them. My goal is to develop rich self-reflecting transition activities that students can access, complete, and submit remotely - even if we are completely in person.

1. I think that this course is going to be valuable to me because we could go remote at any time. I think that being prepared is best for my students and myself. I  work with students who have emotional and behavioral needs. I feel as though I need to lead by example. I am trying to teach them how to be prepared and organized and I can’t do that if I am not. I am also looking forward to hearing what other’s experiences are when it comes to the past year and a half of teaching.

2. My biggest goal is to learn how to keep my students engaged. Again, I work with students who have emotional and behavioral needs. These students struggle with staying engaged in the physical classroom. I need them to stay engaged so they don’t regress if we have to go remote.

The chance to collaboration with peers is what I see as a value from this course.  Learning is always better together, bouncing ideas off each other and working through issues.  As a science teacher collaboration is key to how I run my classes and  an important part of problem solving a critical thinking.  It is essential for myself as a learner.
My goal is to reflect on the best ways to focus my instruction and the tools I will use to best help my students become life long learners.

1. How do you predict this course might be valuable to you?  I predict that I will be learning a lot from others.  I also feel that this will be part of the healing process of what we all went through.  It is nice to read what others are posting and see that others had the same struggles and victories that I did.
2. What are your intentions/goals for your learning in this course? While I hope that I will not need to teach online (at least for a long period of time) I want to learn as much as I can to be able to teach my students the best way possible if it ever comes to that. But I have learned that I can use many of the online tools on a day to day basis in my in-person classroom. My ultimate goal is to be able to have as many tools as possible to be able to give my students everything they need to be their best.

Teaching remotely was pretty lonely. I’m looking forward to seeing how other teachers did it! I’m excited to learn some new strategies, especially those related to new tech platforms that I can incorporate. I hope to get some fresh ideas for how to implement remote language arts courses; in particular, how to stay organized throughout the process, and how to differentiate for a variety of learners. I also hope to find ways to increase student participation in online lessons and assignments.

I am predicting that I am going to learn a great deal from the experiences of other educators. I am also excited to learn about other technologies and tools that could be helpful in my role working with students and parents. My goal is to improve my practices, collaborate with colleagues to learn from their experiences, and reflect on how I can move forward in this new year with better strategies that will foster increased engagement and better student outcomes.

I am predicting that this course will be valuable to me in several ways. As mentioned by Jennifer, I too, find it very valuable to hear from other colleagues about what they are doing and what is going well for them in their practices. I can then take this information and put it to good use in my own classroom. The many conversations that will be created from this forum will help me to gain more knowledge so that my curriculum is a work in progress and I can create lessons that my students will enjoy and thrive educationally.

I am hoping to learn more about the multiple platforms of delivering curriculum from this course. I have used a few but I am willing to learn more as with all; strength in numbers.

I am looking forward to learning from others' experiences across different types of schools and grade levels.  I find it very valuable to learn best practices from fellow educators "in the trenches." Participating in this course will also require me to reflect on my own experiences with online teaching during the pandemic and I think it is important to take time to reflect.  So often, I am caught up in my daily to-do lists and managing the details of each day that I don't take the necessary time to reflect on my practices as an educator and think big picture about the lessons learned over the past two academic years.  It is important not to waste this important opportunity to really think about what we should be teaching our students and how we should be teaching as we look ahead into the next few years. We need to continue to be nimble and flexible and open to new possibilities in our educational model. I am excited to learn some more tools and to develop a final project which will be useful in my work with my students this fall.
