I hope that I will be able to reflect on my own experience with remote learning. The good, the bad, and the ugly. I would love to learn new tools that can help deepen my understanding of what was successful for other teachers outside of my district. I am curious to see how different social dynamics faired.

I hope that by the end of this course I will have a set of effective practices that I can use this year inperson. I would love to see how I could possibly "FLIP" my science classroom.

Value
The value of this on online platform class is that I am figuring it out without the benefit of any other support network. This is a confidence builder resulting in the belief that while I prefer in person learning for the majority of situations distance learning is doable and non tech people such as myself can learn to naviagate it.
Goals
1. Practice applying the technology
2. Create and reflect on practical on line lessons

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

I think this course will provide me the platform, direction, and time to reflect on my online teaching. Collaborating with other educators who had similar experiences will deepen and enrich that selfreflection.

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

My goal is to never teach online again! If I must I would like this course to show me how to take the experiences and skills that I have as an experienced educator and apply them to other platforms. I would also like this course to provide me additional resources that I could use in my everyday practice.

# data[].attributes.body
Value; The value of this course may be that it requires time to reflect on my online teaching. This is something that I intend to do, but rarely make time for. Having a specific time set aside will help me reevaluate my less effective strategies and learn to replace them for student growth.  I also hope to learn tools of success from others experience, reading and conversation. My goal is to create a final project that is usable in my classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Value
The value is in collaborating with other colleagues and sharing ideas, what worked well and what did not work as well in effective online pedagogy.

Goals
My goals include:
- taking these best practices back to the classroom and the remote learning environment to enhance learning
-learn new and engaging technology tools back to my colleagues and students to create collaborative and engaging lessons that expand learning and creativity.

# data[].attributes.body
This course will provide an opportunity for me to critically analyze my approach to providing online learning opportunities.  This will entail self-reflection to look closely at what went well and what could be improved upon.

My goal is to compile a bank of successful practices from which I can draw to revise and improve my remote lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
Value
I think this course will help me process and integrate what I have learned during remote learning.  Having this opportunity to connect with other educators and collaborate and reflect on what works and what doesn't in regard to remote learning will be valuable.  Its not often that we have a collective experience like this and being able to learn and share with other educators before the next school year is certainly going to help our resilience and ultimately benefit our students.
My intentions and goals:
I want to learn best practices for remote learning. I want to take what was good from this experience and apply it to my classroom. I want to come away from this course feeling confident that I have the tools to navigate whatever may come next school year. I also want to connect with other educators.

Value:
While there is so much more to learn than virtual platforms, I'm new to Canvas and Padlet, and that is exciting.  I value adding new technology to my toolbox.    Learning about how everyone here did what they do, and how it worked for you is helpful.   I think it is so easy to feel like I'm alone on an island and it feels good knowing I am not the only one who struggled in certain areas.  So thank you to everyone for your honestly and willingness to share.                      Goals:
To reflect upon and utilize the hard work I've gone through this year in order to be better at my job moving forward.  Also, hearing from this group about what you are doing and using is inspiring and helpful.  I shall begin creating my list of 'things to learn' from you guys!

# data[].attributes.body
Valuable-
Well, since I've never used Padlet, this course is already valuable because I'm learning something new!! Now if I can figure out how this was set up, I'm way ahead of the game!!  Now being serious, I can see this course being valuable with learning new ways to deliver remote instruction and being effective with delivering remote instruction.  My goals for learning are to learn new technologies, new techniques and ways to be a more effective remote teacher.

**How do I change "anonymous" to my name??

# data[].attributes.body
The readings and reflection practices in week 1 of this course have already been valuable to me.  I really appreciated the term "collective resilience" from the article "Emerging Stronger" by Elena Aguilar.  As teachers we did respond to the challenges and unexpected changes that the pandemic brought, but I know in my school we didn't necessarily process together.  I think that spending time processing with educators outside of my school building will help me be ready to work with my colleagues again in the fall.
Goals -- To learn and feel excited about teaching again! Exploring and learning about new tech on a slower pace will help me appreciate the tech side of what I do more. The past 1.5 years of school, most of my learning was on the fly to try and problem solve.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that I will have the opportunity to work with other educators outside of my own district.  I feel that this would be beneficial as I will have a chance to view how are teachers are engaging students remotely in authentic learning opportunities.
Intentions/Goals:
My main intention is to learn more about possible instructional practices that I can provide to students in person as well as remotely. There are technology hurdles that constantly provided disruptions-such as poor internet and the quality of devices. I would like to have the opportunities to problem solve these with students, in person, in case we return to remote.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict this course will allow me to connect with fellow educators who have experienced what I have throughout the course of this year. As I was fully remote for the entirety of the school year, I have felt very isolated.  I am realizing now, the value of connection in validating my feelings.  Additionally, listening to others brings insight into some of the positive takeaways from this year.  My intention in taking this course is to connect with others and to strengthen my skills as an online educator in the wake of this school year.  I hope to sort out some of the roadblocks that I experienced throughout the course of the school year in learning about the availability of other technology.

My goal for this course is to take time to reflect on the pandemic virtual learning  experience over the last year plus, identify what worked well, learn from what did not work and  plan for the future that includes cohesive online learning experiences that  engage student participation. I see this including thoughtful consideration of new technology options for focused learning, increased independence resulting in authentic student learning. Rather than overloading students, parents and support staff with technology, I hope to explore more of the technology available and then provide cohesive  lessons that include apps or platforms that are appropriate to student learning needs and abilities. Plans need to be accessible, align to offer some familiarity to existing classroom routines and provided needed differentiation an include collaboration with IT and student teams
so lessons can  dovetail with related service provision, accessibility, and ease of use.  I also want to explore creating learning communities and resources for parents who will be supporting students with significant needs in virtual learning opportunities.  I see a great potential for virtual learning to supplement classroom learning for the students who may be out of school for significant time due to medical condition or procedures as well. Lots of pieces to pull together that didn't seem to pan out in while in the moment of virtual learning , then hybrid learning and then full in learning.

I predict this p.d. will help me examine deeper and learn more about online teaching/learning.  I feel like I will leave this p.d. with more knowledge and ideas of how to elevate myself as an online educator. My intention/goal for this p.d. is to help me reflect on all the things I did and happened while I was teaching remotely. Reflecting will help me have a better understanding of what went well and what did not. I look forward to more opportunities to hear from other educators about their experiences. I hope to add more tools in my toolbox from this p.d. so that I can start the new school with fresh new things to try. :)

I think the thing I'm most excited for about this course is getting to connect with and learn from so many teachers across the state.  Like many of you said, we all went through the same circumstance, but experienced and navigated it in varying ways.  We have SO much collective knowledge about how to do this well and now is our chance to SYNTHESIZE, SHARE, and REFLECT on what we know and don't know.  Can't wait!

# data[].attributes.body
I believe this course will be valuable to reflect on what changes have been valuable, connecting with other educators and learning what has worked for them, and improving on my own teaching skills and being prepared to teach my students in any means necessary.
My goals for learning are to continue to expand on my technology skills and apply them to my classroom, and continue to add to my toolbox of ideas to expand how I work with students.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope this course will help me expand my resources for creating and delivering effective remote/online learning classes. My goal is to not feel like a first year teacher and have to invent or re-invent everything for online and remote classes.

# data[].attributes.headline
This course will help me increase my tech ability in class and remotely.  I hope to learn about new applications that could be beneficial to my classroom.  My goal is be more fluent in different platforms that we are introduced to and present them in class to my students.

Technology use both with remote teaching and in the classrooms is here to stay.  It will be valuable to have exposure to technologies that I have not been able to fully explore or use before.  The luxury of time is not always on the side of an educator during the school year or in the midst of a pandemic.  The summertime is the perfect time to familiarize myself with new technology as I look into planning for the next year.  Educators have proven that regardless of the setting we can provide students with valuable learning experiences. In the event that we need to remotely provide instruction again, I would like to have as many tricks up my sleeve as possible. It is my goal to build upon the skillset that I have to become a better educator.

# data[].attributes.body
This course will help me enhance my role as an online educator. The readings, research and communication with others will help me develop strategies and resources that can make remote learning a more easily to navigate and use in the future. My goals are to develop tools that I can use with my students and their families to build better relationships and have key supports in place.

# data[].attributes.body
This course will introduce me to applications that I haven't used yet. My goal is to get as much information as I can so as to become confident in my ability to not only use the technology and applications but to teach others as well.

# data[].attributes.body
This course will allow me to continue thinking of ways to teach students in an online setting or potentially in person using technology, with best practice in mind.
My goal is to become a better instructor and to create a meaningful learning experience that I can put into practice.
