I've got a very ornery 1 year old, a large dog and a pregnant wife at home plus teaching. I do not have the luxury of spending as much time reviewing course materials and I read UNK emails on the fly during passing periods. I don't know why but I have decided to move to a flipped classroom so I spend quite a bit of time creating engaging lessons, narrating notes and creating video homework assignments so most of my free time is spent dealing with that. 
The biggest difference is free time (if you couldn't tell). With my family, work, and my second grad course I am taking that is kicking my butt, there isn't a minute to spare. I have to be very good with time management every day. I use my plan periods to catch up on online course work that can be done in the allotted time. ]]> 2017-10-23 14:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/199580151 https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/199787842 I think the main similarity between myself and the Gwinnett Online learner is the structure. My top online student success points would be; time management, work/life balance, and understanding learning expectations, all of which were gleaned from the 4-12 online learning scenario. The main difference for me is the time spent on the coursework within the scope of adult responsibilities. I'm not allowed to work on online course(s), certifications (currently working on two), etc. during my regular workload, so fitting everything in is a challenge while trying to keep stress at a minimum. ]]> 2017-10-23 21:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/199787842 https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/200257963 I think the biggest differences are the setting and context in which class takes place. During the school year, my students all report to the school between 7:30 - 8 am and they are there until dismissal at 3:15 pm. A lot of the planning and working on homework is similar, but students in a physical school don't have to "log on" to their classes and also don't have the luxury of leaving during the day or doing other chores at home. Besides the source of the instruction (a computer vs a live teacher) and where it takes place (a computer versus a physical classroom), in-person and online learning share a lot of similarities.]]> 2017-10-25 02:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/200257963 beth_christense https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/200672487 I think the biggest difference between the online learner and me is the time when completing the homework. I work on my homework during the evening once my children are asleep. I have very little time to work on my class during the day due to my other responsibilities to my job and my family. One similarity I see is the checking into your class to make sure you are getting your work finished. ]]> 2017-10-26 03:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/200672487 https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201063225 I saw lots of differences between this students day and mine. I wake up, go to school and start tutoring a few students who come in for extra help. After than I teach. I check my email from UNK usually after school. I have lesson planning and papers to grade after school. It is rare for me to have two days that look the same. I wish I could say that I am doing classes the same day and around the same time each day but that would be a lie. My schedule at school is pretty flexible too. I think this example would be a great way for students to get their instruction. It is very structured and the student knows what to do everyday and so the routine was get in the way with the information being presented. ]]> 2017-10-27 01:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201063225 https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201359777 Looks like there are many differences for the K-12 learner and an adult learner in a flipped classroom. First of all, the main difference I see for the two learners is the amount of time spent in an online learning environment. This student's schedule from morning till evening almost constantly involves learning. A student taking an on-line, college course on the other hand may choose chunks of time out of his or her week with which to learn and complete assignments. This seems to be the most major difference. In addition to this difference, it looks like the K-12 learner gets a lot more one on one instruction with his/her teacher, and he/she does not need to rely on himself in order to learn and understand all the content. Besides these aspects, it seems that the two forms of learning are very similar.]]> 2017-10-27 20:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201359777 momarmesh https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201422577 There are many differences between myself and the example of the high school online learner, particularly the timeline and time management. Since our course is usually broken down into weekly units, I scroll through the unit as soon as it's posted and then come up with a game plan of how to fit it into my week. I work 2 jobs and volunteer, so the biggest thing is coming up with a plan for the reading. I try to knock out the readings early in the week, then spend time exploring new technologies introduced during the module at the midweek point, and finally buckle down and do the assignments on the weekends. A lot of high school online learners are full-time students, or students with part time jobs. Additionally, their courses probably require them to complete daily assignments and tasks like most traditional classrooms would, so the timeline would be different right out of the gate. Regardless, both of us must exercise discipline and manage our time and any additional responsibilities.]]> 2017-10-28 16:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201422577 https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201424670 2017-10-28 16:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201424670 https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201507612 There were quite a few differences between me and that online learner. That student's job is learning and completing all of her coursework. While that is an important part of my life as well, it's not my main job. I'm a preschool teacher and am at my school for at least 8 hours a day. My only "break" at work is during the kids' nap time, but even then i'm planning, prepping for the next week, responding to parents' emails, etc. I don't have time to think about my schoolwork. I also live about an hour away from where I work, so my work day ends up being about a 10 hour day. Once I get home, I don't have much energy left to do the readings and coursework for this class. I usually have to save it for the weekends. The process of completing the online course is still about the same. I still check my grades and upcoming assignments. I still complete the reading and assignments while taking short breaks here and there. While the overall process is similar, the way in which an adult completes an online course is, I think, very different from how a school age student completes an online course.]]> 2017-10-29 16:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201507612 jkment https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201580529 I think the main difference is how time is managed.  High school students are essentially full time students.  Though I am taking graduate classes full time, I am also teaching and coaching full time.  This just means I need to be creative when developing a plan for when to work on my school work.

Seeing designated time to get up and move around caught me specifically. It's almost amusing seeing everything laid out. In my home, there are six other people. The chances of doing much of anything at a designated time would lead to hair pulling and teeth gnashing!]]> 2017-10-30 04:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201594802 https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201712505 I think the biggest difference is figuring out a good schedule of when to complete classes. High school students are in school full time and our put on a schedule. When you take online classes, you have to good at managing your time. ]]> 2017-10-30 13:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201712505 https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201895603 The difference between me and the online learner is time management. As a parent/coach/teacher/sponsor - I have to set time aside to complete my learning and I do not always manage to get things done efficiently and then end up cramming. I have a lot of things that have to get accomplished in my day and it seems that my personal schooling is always at the bottom.]]> 2017-10-30 19:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201895603 colsen10 https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201976389 As has been noted many times already by my classmates, the key difference most of us take away from this student's typical day is the time spent in direct learning activities. Or perhaps more specifically, when this time takes place. Often it is just fit in whenever you can among all of your other professional and personal obligations. What still remains the same is that both of us have to sit down and use whatever motivates us to get it done.]]> 2017-10-31 01:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201976389 https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201978466 For one, I am not taking a full course load, so I don't spend the majority of my day working on school. A better fit would be to swap anything "Class" related to "School" (meaning teaching) related. My classes at UNK are not my main priority during the day, so things like emails from the University are not something I invest a lot of time in.

These are both stressful and take away some experiences of smooth classroom. The perceived flexibility, however, makes it very enticing.]]> 2017-10-31 01:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mkutscher3/6niknofed273/wish/201986079
