Wow I am really getting addicted to this on-line learning. I have spent the morning replying and responding to the discussion boards on the benefits of e-learning and the ice breaker activities of yesterday. Some points to note and which I must do:
- work out a way to record the thoughts from the others in the discussion board - can I print them out?
- think about the response of promptness from one of the others on the course. is it good to always respond immediately or is time to reflect better. Am I slave to trying to respond immediate so that I am not thought of as slacking?
- Allowing others to do the talking and discussions. I am very verbose and I don't want to appear pushy but on the other hand I am getting a lot of of the discussion so why shouldn't I be contributing as much as I want to. I think I just need to be aware that others do not work at the same pace as me.
- it is occurring to me that for me to teach affectively on-line, I do need a bespoke site this the one I am using now so that the students get the most out of it. I therefore need to talk to the IT guys sooner rather than later.
- I need to find a way to disseminate my ideas to my colleagues so we can all get on board.
Mae and I were brainstorming the above thoughts together, she is a very clever spaniel.
