I am working with my online instructional design specialist to see if our LMS can be used to create learning opportunities in an actual map for students to visualize their journey. ]]> 2021-03-24 20:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/drjennece/nfi6or5edmn2v358/wish/1349965478 drjennece https://padlet.com/drjennece/nfi6or5edmn2v358/wish/1488294477 My favorite quote in the book is on p. 87.  "Online classes are not meant to be like your favorite slow-cooker recipe.  They are not "set and forget".

This quote really stood out to me.  I shouldn't build the modules and leave them unattended.  These modules should be taken care of with tender loving care throughout the semester.

Online courses require relationship building to be effective.  I know that I, as the instructor,  need to be present OFTEN in the course.  This might mean me commenting on a  (random) post in the discussion board, sending an announcement, posting a video announcement, adding grading feedback,  sending the student a Canvas message, etc.   These moments, even though small, will help to keep my students focused and on track for success.

And I do love my crockpot!  So I'll share one of my favorite soup recipes!]]> 2021-05-04 05:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/drjennece/nfi6or5edmn2v358/wish/1488294477 drjennece https://padlet.com/drjennece/nfi6or5edmn2v358/wish/1488301543 The concept of rebranding my office hours has me thinking! Flower Darby suggested "Happy Hour", "Coffee Breaks", "Afternoon Tea" or "Consultations" (page 119-120). I am wondering if I could use some 'early childhood terminology' for my office hours? ]]> 2021-05-04 05:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/drjennece/nfi6or5edmn2v358/wish/1488301543 drjennece https://padlet.com/drjennece/nfi6or5edmn2v358/wish/1488316635 One idea (page 19) that I implemented this semester was to have my students reflect on each aspect of our Student Teacher Evaluative Rubric. This document is HUGE and it can be very overwhelming for students when they look at the rubric as a whole. By taking it apart and having the students reflect on one section at a time, using examples from their practicums, solidified their understanding of the objectives. I am looking forward to our Final Conferences next week to find out if I notice a difference in the students! ]]> 2021-05-04 05:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/drjennece/nfi6or5edmn2v358/wish/1488316635 dgreene4 https://padlet.com/drjennece/nfi6or5edmn2v358/wish/1491641391

"Students need more than effort to succeed. They need a teacher who has created opportunities for them to try new strategies and seek input." (p. 135) I always tell my colleagues, students do not sign up for your courses hoping to fail. Seek out the reasons for why they struggle and help how you can.
