This has been an interesting process. It has given us additional tools for future facilitation. I think the uncertainty of content and trying to put the what with the how is on everyone's mind as we work from our WHY. Being an AVID staff developer is a high expectation role - this is a definite shift for those of us who feed off the face to face environment.

Over the last 2 weeks I have begun to feel more confident in my abilities as an online facilitator. I have learned and taken many notes that will assist me. I am also excited to see where this road leads. I have spoken to numerous people that are very disappointed that summer institutes are being canceled. I hope that I am able to give them an amazing experience that doesn't disappoint. Thank you for all the knowledge I have received and for all the opportunities I have had to speak to other terrific facilitators.

As a I reflect on the last two weeks, I have learned a lot about the protocols of online learning.  It was great to make connections to f2f facilitation and online facilitation.  I look forward to engaging and learning from our participants.  This is going to be an exciting experience.

I have definitely had a chance to learn so much about conversation starters, effective feedback and the Salmon model process. The stems and feedbacks stood out to me the cost because it helped to enhance my communication with my participants and understand more about online facilitating.

I feel more confident about facilitating online learning. The content was relevant and effective. The intense exposure to the content kept my mind focused on the objective of learning to be an effective digital facilitator. I have already applied the communication skills I learned in my own PLN. This has amped up my excitement about being a digital XP facilitator!!!

Reflecting on the last two weeks learning-- simply refreshing. I often questioned my methodology, philosophy, and stance in regards to what I understood as the best practices and whether they would change as a result of an online platform. As a result to my learning here, collectively, all of my peers grounded me and implored me to increased self-belief. The use of protocols and norms focus my understanding of online learning, facilitation, and effective feedback. The Salmon Model and the S-S-S concept opened my eyes to the possibilities of online learning.

This last two weeks have caused reflection not just for AVID purposes, but many useful tools like providing effective suggestions have caused me to reflect about past experiences.  AVID training always provokes deep reflective thoughts for me that I rarely take the time to indulge in. This is sad because we all know that is where the learning occurs.  I appreciate this opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas with peers and have learned so much from reading and interacting with others posts.  As I stated above, I especially liked the effective suggestions topics, because I truly want to hone my craft and guide students, not force them.  My second favorite part was the feedback suggestions.  Being specific and using relational capacity to really connect when giving feedback makes me feel l can really be helpful to learners who want to grow.  Thank you, once again, for a great training experience.

First, I want to thank all of my peers for contributing to my learning experience.  I hope that I was mutually supportive.  This was a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast Face-to-Face facilitation with Online facilitation.
I love the S-S-S concept and I believe that it will be a fruitful method of instruction.  We have been provided with a rich toolbox of resources to aid in our facilitation.  I am encouraged and excited about presenting in the coming weeks.

I feel like this was a great way to realize how many connections there are between F2F and online learning and the ways to tweak others to make them work for online learning. The Start, Steer, Summarize is great for online learning and I am excited to implement it. I like that we got to use a variety of online tools that I am guessing will be available for us to use as well. We had some great conversations and a really appreciate all the sentences starters today!

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I have learned so much about online facilitating strategies and made some valuable connections on how most strategies we use F2F we also can utilize during online facilitation. I found a lot of clarity while review start- steer- summarize and I enjoyed enhancing my thinking concerning effective feedback and reflecting on my own personal experiences with receiving and providing feedback. I am excited because I bought the book Facilitating Online Learning - Effect Strategies for Moderators which I will be reading this weekend and throughout the rest of the month. I have to admit I still wish I could be a DXP participant before I am a facilitator but I have always felt prepared after being training by AVID and can say at least I have a little bit more of a vision of how things might work. Although still tons of questions which I am sure we will get lots of answers starting next week. This has been great and I look forward to continue my learning and development.

Overall I feel much more confident with online facilitating.  The new technology apps have been fun to learn and play with in a useful way.  The Salmon method just makes good sense and gives a structure to what we are doing.  I liked to community feel and being able to participate as a learner first.  I also realized that we will need to make sure and engage the participants in meaningful conversations and chats in order to keep them fully present.

When I look back and reflect on my learning over the past two weeks, I know that I have a better understanding what of "online facilitation" means. My cognitive struggle came from trying to connect to prior knowledge (face-to-face, classroom learning). So my a-ha moment came from seeing the online curriculum as the lesson plan (content with instructional strategies) and the online facilitation as the execution of said lesson plan. It was also nice to know that so many of my colleagues and I had the same questions and concerns. I know there's a lot more left to learn in the next phase of learning - I'm looking forward to it!

The past two weeks my emotional state went from okay... ... to OKAY! I liked how our group transformed the conversation to rich discussion. It became less about posts and more about adding and building. The discussion became less about posting and more about reading and engaging. I hope to produce the same thing with my participants. Thanks team!

This past two weeks has been full of learning.  I appreciated the opportunity to learn about the Salmon model, and Start-Steer-Summarize.  Many of the discussion questions allowed me to build on the skills as a face-to-face presenter and think about how those skills can transition to an online environment. Further, reading other's ideas within the discussion created an opportunity for validation (I am not alone in thinking this/feeling this), a sense of community (I can do this!) and an opportunity to learn new ideas that I had not thought of. I am confident that if participants will engage in online discussions they will learn.

I have grown so much over these past two weeks. Even though I have taught online for many years, learning new information and being part of a new community of learners has expanded my knowledge. I was fascinated by the Salmon and "Start - Steer - Summarize" methods. I found that these processes really aligned with both Costa's Levels of Thinking and Bloom's Taxonomy It is important, in any learning environment, to start at a foundational level then move into higher levels of thinking. I saw this reflected in both of these models. To encourage deeper thinking and understanding, we see how important it is to start at a level all can understand. Then, with scaffolding and support, learners can move to deepen their understanding of content. Also, reflecting on the experience can add to their learning. Just like the models, in these two weeks, we started at a foundational level, then had increased rigor (and support). In this way, I felt the learning was deepened so we not only understood but will be able to apply this knowledge. Thank you.

As I reflect on what we have done over the past two weeks, I truly enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about best practices for online facilitation. One of the most important components of online facilitation is building effective relationships with participants. Additionally, it became clear to me that online facilitation just like F2F trainings can be fun, productive and engaging. As Staff Developer I should continue serving as a guide on the side and provide appropriate feedback and support so that participants can have the best learning experience that we can offer.

I had a good handle on facilitating online courses before this experience, but I have learned that models exist that would make my facilitation much more engaging, improve what I am already doing, and benefit the participants in a much more engaging way. I see how the models easily align to Focused Notetaking as well as F2F SIs and I am excited to be a part of it both as a facilitator and a participant. Now, to see how my SI syllabus translates to what I have learned! It's all about the scaffolding!

When starting this process I wondered how AVID would AVIDize online instruction. These practices are just that. 1. connect with participants 2. Build confidence by scaffolding instruction and technology useage 3. Provide supportive feedback to extend their learning and apply it to their classrooms. In a nutshell - AVID did it! I am excited to see the content piece now!!!

I appreciate the diverse opportunities to interact in the online universe. I realize and appreciate that relationship building is s till a key in this arena and learned ways to practice that in various ways. It has helped build my own confidence that this format can be interactive and engaging. While there are many similarities to F2F learning, I see nuanced ways to connect people and ideas across a large online group.

# data[].attributes.body
As I reflect on the learning for the past two weeks, I realize that my role as the online facilitator is progressive, from heavily supportive to becoming the guide. I want the participants to take ownership of their own learning while I attend to and/or provide support if they become stuck. I don't want to do all the heavy lifting, but I want to come alongside each participant to engage in a collective learning experience.
