Please share your experiences...

So often we plan and teach in isolation from our colleagues. I love visiting my peers' classes to learn from them.

Online synchronous teaching

carloslopezm — 2021-03-15 21:55:47 UTC

I really love teaching online!! To me it feels like I'm the host of a television show, or a podcast, were all of my students are contestants experiencing the learning process together.

Sometimes it's great (lots of participation and connection) and sometimes it's horrible (no one answers your questions). There's joy in the struggle. I hope to learn a lot from all of you!

Teaching is a wonderful craft. We certainly learn to hone our skills through our deliberate practice. The exchange of ideas is also very important. One of the things that's lacking most today is the time to sit down and talk about teaching, how we teach and learn, and what works and what doesn't. Dedicating time in a day, week, or month to talk about teaching and outcomes is a very worthwhile thing to do and I am very enthusiastic to be able to share what I do with others.

i like to share optimism, passion and information.

I like to exercise that the first impression we have of a subject or person can change. I like to realize that we can learn where and from whom we least expect it.

it will be amazing to learn from the group <3

So happy sharing what I do, and learning from your teaching and learning experiences. Teaching on line is awesome, but still a challenge to beat.

Its a great feeling if you have transformed your students to be who they are in the future. Transforming Lives so that we can change the world. Online Teaching breaks the walls and becomes inclusive reaches as far as the Philippines or even in Africa. It makes learning more inclusive and seemsless to everyone.. anywhere.. anyhow.. that makes as ONE..

A bit of Brazilian poetry

"Happy he who teaches what he knows and learns what he teaches": From Cora Coralina, an important Brazilian poetess.

Looking forward to learning from you!

Hello from the nice beaches of Cancun Mexico

2021-03-25 16:21:48 UTC

I love and enjoy teaching, I have found the I feel confortable with on line teaching, allthough I do miss the interaction with my students, since it is a great way of growing too, as a person and as a teacher.

I feel a bit embarrassed to say that I love online teaching

2021-03-26 01:59:08 UTC

as many of my colleagues (and some students) really miss face to face teaching. For me, it has been a revelatory experience (once I got over the shock) because I can try out new things that I would not have attempted otherwise. Can't wait to see how my buddies use their online class time.

I had the pleasure of visiting Jim Downer's (Monroe Community College) classes and getting to know a new teaching experience. In addition, I loved an article "First things First", which in its final sentence says:

“We hope that our society will tire of gimmick merchants, status salesmen and hidden persuaders, and that the prior call on our skills will be for worthwhile purposes. With this in mind we propose to share our experience and opinions, and to make them available to colleagues, students and others who may be interested.” - First Things First (1964 & 2000) The original First Things First manifesto was published by 22 signatories in: Design, the Architects‘ Journal, the SIA Journal, Ark, Modern Publicity, The Guardian, april 1964. It was renewed in 2000. Thank you! Maurício Augusto Leite - UNESP - Ilha Solteira - SP - Brazil

Knowledge is Freedom

2021-05-06 21:11:43 UTC

I really love teaching science to my students, and I love to hear about other teacher experiences. The most important thing is that our students understand that knowledge will make them free to create solutions to many society problems, they just have to believe in their dreams"

My experience

2021-05-06 21:44:09 UTC

The best part was listening to my partner's students participate during class. It felt so genuine and organic. I was very happy to listen to my mother language (spanish) being practiced by people who have a different language. It helped me recognize the hard work language teachers put into their lessons to help us learn to communicate. Learning other languages is essential for opening to new worlds. I realized that sometimes the simplest the lesson, the richest. Thanks to my partner Marisol for letting me join her class!

- Charlie López

What a good experience.

coboshector — 2021-05-06 22:49:27 UTC

I always have tought that education, as a social activity, let you to guide students to discover their strengths and skills. And the teachers are always learning from the students, that is why people say we are young spirited. Knowledge is an adventure and we travel all the time, through our readings or through the dreams and ideas of our students. And visiting other teachers make the experience enjoyable. I visited Elizabeth Johnston and her group of women students about gender literature. Very interesting the way they form study groups and discuss the texts recomended. And she visited me. It was my first class in English, but I think it was allright. It would be nice to have another intechange. Thank you.
I would like to work with other co- authos this experience. I would like to write in in Spanish.

My experience

claudiaprado — 2021-05-07 04:18:57 UTC

Having another professor in my class was not easy, it made me rethink the class, the activities and all the possible outcomes for the day, it was a little nerve-wracking.
However, since both Chris and Lynda were in the class at the same time and from the very beginning of it, I think it was a positive aspect, and my students were thankful for experiencing an activity a little bit different than our usual class: therefore, they were very participative and positive. Also, I had the opportunity to visit both Lynda and Chris' classes and I had a great time in both. I took notes and some ideas, and I am already planning some changes for the class I'll be teaching next semester.

Such an interesting and enriching experience

2021-05-07 14:27:18 UTC

It was great getting to know Alfredo and visit his class, being able to share tips and advice for what works on this type of classes and which are opportunity areas that should be taken into consideration for upcoming groups.

I keep learning

mauricioleite1 — 2021-05-07 18:34:03 UTC

I learned a lot from all the teachers who shared the classes. What I learned, I have shared with students.
Thank you!

It's been a blast!

I thoroughly enjoyed having faculty from USP in my (virtual) classroom and learning from each other. The faculty at USP were incredible hosts and the students and course work drew me in. Even though my Portuguese isn't great, we made it work. The lessons were fascinating and took a lot away from the sessions. I would be happy to help with a paper if needed and would like to engage in similar opportunities. This was a lot of fun and I have learned alot!

Thank you!

Amazing

2021-05-17 14:12:58 UTC

It was great to see and share with my Global Guests Partners. Because we are educators it was impossible to just be observers. I believe that during those classes we visited, we were really part of them. Of course, we learned a lot from our partners, mine were amazing, but we also learned from our students, it was really insirational and educational for me.

Thank you!

The frustrations and successes experienced by instructors and students are similar, across borders. It was encouraging to exchange stories and strategies.

Thank you!

Every day teaches us new ways to be better human beings. We have to place ourselves in our students shoes to understand what they are going through and be empathetic , this mindset changes the whole learning experience for them and for you as a teacher.

Gracias por compartir

I had a wonderful experience visiting my partner's class. It was all in Spanish and I enjoyed every second of it. As a native speaker it was refreshing to participate in a class where we were all speaking Spanish and collectively learning about Mexico's history. It made me want to teach a course all in Spanish! I was also so lucky to leave with a list new of IT tools complemented with a rich and inspiring conversation.
Gracias, Charlie.

It´s a good experience

manuel_orozco — 2021-05-17 21:24:27 UTC

I visited the class, identifying a good comunication between teacher and students, with a practical content, I saw both enjoying experience, that I didn´t have because my class starting after this program. Thank very much for things learned.

A pleasure to learn from you

This is the real proof that no matter what you do, when you do it passionately, you find people on the road with similar mindsets.

Thank you for this experience, and for inspiring us to have the best version out of ourselves.

I felt very supported by my partners

It was lovely to see two wonderful women at work, even though only one class was synchronous (Also enjoyed seeing students from Barb's New York class participating in a guest seminar) Pricila's google classroom set up was beautifully produced and seemed like an efficient delivery system. Their warmth helped to sustain me through my exhausting teaching semester.

Out of the ordinary

pricilaveiga — 2021-05-27 13:17:54 UTC

I, from the engineering area, was initially apprehensive about being in the group of two professors from the Humanities. Although due to commitments and time zone differences I was not able to actually join my fellow group members' virtual class, I was able to observe new approaches to engage students to participate more actively in expressing their views.
This experience showed that different areas take us out of the common place, and the experience can be more rewarding and innovative.
Thanks Brigid and Barb!
