Hi Cami! I thoroughly enjoyed your discussion of the three articles you reviewed! For the first one, I appreciated as well the idea of students and teachers learning hand-in-hand how to e-learn. I think the training for teachers is sometimes overlooked, but I too believe it is of utmost importance. For the second article, I also like how you mentioned its important for students to understand different approaches and then choose what is best for them. I think as teachers we have to daily remind ourselves there is no cookie-cutter way to learn, but instead each student is unique, which goes hand in hand with your last point about encouraging student creativity in thinking. Your reflection and learning from the articles did not change my way of thinking on distance education, but instead reinforced what I have thought before, as well as definitely provided new insight and reflection into my personal learning theory and view of distance education! Thanks for being a great classmate, Cami! Have a great rest of your summer!

Hi Cami,
ReplyDeleteThe main thing that struck a cord with me was when you mentioned that both the students and the teachers must learn hand in hand in regard to e-learning. The students that we have in our classes today are without a doubt digital natives, and we are the digital immigrants. I often find that the students know more about the technology than some of the teachers. With that in mind I believe that it is necessary for teachers to be open to learning, to training, to continuously keep up to date on the new technologies that can be incorporated into the classroom. In order for us to continue to engage our students we must make sure that the means of teaching them is something that they enjoy.

Hi Sarah, thanks for the post! I agree that none of the material changed my way of thinking either. However, reading things that align with my way of thinking or how I run my classroom and realizing they can apply to distance education is interesting.
