I think that this course will be valuable to me in allowing myself to see what other educators have gone through this year. Sometimes it felt like an island, but we all went through a similar experience that bonds us.
My intentions for learning during this course would be to pick up a few tips and tricks of the trade. This will be my third year teaching and there is still so much to learn. I feel pretty confident in my use of technology, but not always in the best practice that certain ideas can be used for in my work.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that this course will help me to connect with peers and share resources to enhance my virtual teaching and learning.
I look forward to learning about different technology resources. I am interested in better ways to remain organized and prepared.

Jennifer Eaton: My Prediction and Goals 

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that this course will help me with connecting with my peers in order to gather valuable resources and ideas I can use to teach in a virtual classroom.

My goals include:
1. Finding a way to keep myself organize so I can pivot to remote/in person as needed.
2. Discovering new ways to keep ALL students engaged and focused when we are working digitally.
3. Finding new ways to use technology in the classroom!

# data[].attributes.body
I believe this course will help me reflect on my teaching from the past year and allow me to use that experience to improve my teaching (remote and in person) for next year. Engaging in the assignments and discussions will get me in the mindset for next school year and open me up to learning practices and resources that other teachers have found helpful.

My goals for this course are to become more comfortable with remote teaching learning practices and feel confident going into the next year regardless if we are in person or need to go remote again. I also intend to use this course as a focus for getting organized for the new year.

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

I hope that this course will help improve my remote teachings skills which don't come natural to me.  I am so used to teaching in a live classroom and I am hoping this course will give me creative ways to make remote learning interesting for my students.
2. What are your intentions/goals for your learning in this course?
- Learning best practices from other teachers in this course to enable me to be the best teacher I can be.
- Getting more confident and comfortable remote teaching to prepare me for the fall.

I predict that the information we learn in this course, plus the experiences we had the past year, are going to be skills we will continue and need and use in coming school years.  I believe that the immersion of technology has been a benefit and schools may begin to adapt the structure of learning to a more technology/in person platform.  My goal is to be prepared!  I don't like change if I am not ready for it and luckily, I felt more ready for this past year than others, but I want to be prepared and already practicing skills for the future, that will help students be successful.

This course will give me a deeper understanding of virtual learning practices. I believe the course offers me a broad perspective on different platforms and it comes at a non pressuring time to try and experiment with them, which gives me time to truly absorb the information rather than being pressured during the school year with other obligations. This course will deepen my remote learning  knowledge and skills so that I will be ready to utilize them.

My goals for taking this course are to learn new platforms and ways to stay engaged while teaching remotely. I believe the course information will provide me with great tools and information,  and my peers posts and ideas will give me new ideas for furthering my teaching tool box!

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that this course is going to change the way that I look at virtual learning and how I go about teaching my students through it. I dread virtual learning and feel as though my students shut down on me because they are at home with their parents and cannot differentiate between school and home. My goal is to be able to use this information and share it with friends and colleagues. I love to learn and share new things with people in the field as we all know that knowledge is wealth.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict this course will be valuable to me because I always have the ability to grow and learn. I strive to be a better virtual educator as I will not be going back to a brick and mortar setting. I am hoping to learn what others have had successes with, and hopefully gain insights into how I can best support my students.
My intentions include learning more web based options for sharing and teaching with my students, how to continue to differentiate learning, and how to effectively engage my students in their advisory projects.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict this course will be valuable to me primarily because I have had almost no formal instruction in remote teaching over the last two years. The only training I did was self elected and only covered a small area with one program I knew I struggled with. Much like that class I am hoping this course saves me from doing everything "the hard way" due to ignorance of functions in a program or another better platform. I am looking for ways to keep things fun and unintimidating for younger students.

Prediction and Intentions                  I predict that I will strengthen and further develop the depth of my web based instructional resources. I consider myself fair at using web based lessons and know that my teaching could be much more fun for students if I can utilize new programs.                                    What are your intentions/goals for your learning in this course?            I want to learn about different programs I can use to engage students in the lessons. I think it is easy to get into ruts and I need to see newer programs, play with them before I can use them in class. I hope this is an opportunity to do so.

Beth Harrington: How Will This Course Help Me?

# data[].attributes.body
I predict this course will show me how to use different applications in my teaching. I am very excited about trying new applications and creating a final lesson/unit.

My goals in the course include learning new applications through practice, resources, and by reading what peers are doing in their classrooms. I am hoping to get new ideas on best online teaching practices from my peers. One of my goals is to write and create online lessons eventually and I think this course will help inspire me to get started on that! Beth

I predict that this course will allow educators a chance to explore, share, and learn from each other what worked well during virtual learning and what to avoid.

I hope to learn and discover new tools and strategies that I can implement into my daily routine that facilitate communication and individualized learning that may help make switching back to virtual learning easier, if necessary, in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I am hoping this course will help me to further develop my virtual learning "tool-box". I am hoping to learn about new platforms/techniques that I can not only use in my own practice, but bring back to my colleagues as well. My goal is to learn more methods that can help me better differentiate instruction and promote personalized learning in the classroom.

I think that I can learn a lot from this course specially since there is a dialog among the educators. I would be able to get new and valuable ideas and be more productive for my students. The virtual learning is flexible, can be customized to individuals, and is very beneficial for both students and teachers.

And yet, I want to be able to use these tools in conjunction with solid paper books and solid pencil/pen activities.  I realize that this may alienate me from many platforms, but I do not have reliable internet access and that issue is not going to be resolved in the near future.  My students struggled with access at home and given the lack of momentum, I feel that I lost them along the way.  I have to trust the materials I have at my disposal, and right now that is a paper book which doesn't need to be plugged in, which can survive a classroom use from year to year, etc.  I am grateful for the time it takes to write a reflective response, first with paper and pen, and then to revise with google docs, a platform that instantly promotes conventions, good grammar, accurate spelling.  Anyway, that's where I'm coming from.

I will find great value in learning to utilize the tools that advance an enrichment and depth to learning new and established material through various platforms, including google classroom and zoom, and too the various options in those platforms that other teachers found valuable to their students, platforms that engage both the student and moderator/teacher and facilitate an ongoing dialogue of appreciation of content, creativity. I hope to promote an engaging and open minded platform for varying points of view. Youth audiences today seem to be primed for this kind of anonymity (social media promotes this, where one doesn't have to be in the room necessarily to engage in sensitive topics and be less worried about their shyness or hesitancy, which can be conquered to some degree in this regard.

This course seems like it will help me to take what I have learned during the pandemic and remote teaching/learning and use the good stuff moving forward. I am excited to have discourse around the past year and what we have learned and can take from it to make school better for our students in the future.
While my school is not intending to continue with remote learning options in the coming year, I hope to employ some virtual learning strategies to help students who:

1. Can't stay after physically, but would benefit from more 1:1 time for better understanding,

2. Are sick or out for an extended time stay connected with their peers and remain up-to-date with concepts and topics in the classroom, and

3. Need alternative ways to connect with the teacher and have a voice in the classroom.

I look forward to the discussions that will help us all move toward the achievement of our goals.

I predict that this course will help me gain an understanding of remote learning strategies and how to manage online classrooms that are just as supportive, interactive and successful as in-person.
My goal for this course is to learn strategies and  tools to help me provide differentiated lessons and how to toggle between remote and in-person instruction seamlessly.

I predict that this course will expand my current knowledge about distance learning. Help me to understand why certain things did not work for me this past year and help me improve upon what has worked for me.
My goals for learning in this course are:

1. To gain techniques to better  support distance learners that struggle with an online platform.

2. Expand my knowledge of programs / resources for providing a robust distance learning experience for my students.

3. To explore and discuss how other teachers adapted their curriculum for distance learning.  Specifically, what did or did not work for them.
