CED550 Week 1

Question 1 (Worth 1 points)

I can relate the examples of online learning to my own experience in the following way. . .


ESSAY SUBMISSION
The more approaches a learning task takes as far as stimulating a variety of my senses, the more likely I am able to remember, recall, and apply what I have learned. Digital resources provide a variety of stimuli to the learner, yet unless some 'real life' experiences are incorporated in the learning experience, some of the senses (in particular, touch, smell, and taste) are left out.




ESSAY FEEDBACK

How true Danelle - The best example I have in this regard is frog dissection. I used virtual frog dissections to prepare students for the physical dissection. This was an outstanding way to maximize student potential, but I did not view the virtual dissection as an equal to the physical experience. My hope is that we will be able to pick and choose which experiences are best accomplished face to face and which can be completed virtually. Virtual learning seems to open up many possibilities in the time that students spend away from the physical school building. We can redefine what homework looks like. Greg

Question 2 (Worth 1 points)

These are some problems I had navigating the course management system and utilizing the discussion boards, can you help me with . . .

ESSAY SUBMISSION
...defining exactly how to submit documents. You may have told us in the last session, but I couldn't remember what you said. Do we just upload the documents into our folder and submit for grading, or should be post them in the discussion section of the assignment. I did both this time, just in case...




ESSAY FEEDBACK

It varies Danelle - Think of it this way. A submission to a folder is like turning in an assignment to the teacher - only the teacher will see the work. What you post to the discussion is viewable by everyone. We want to post only our most pertinent ideas here. Otherwise we will become overwhelmed with reading. Greg

ESSAY SUBMISSION
...help my son and/or sister with their math questions, or my cousin with her physics questions. In my 7th grade math class, I could have students write out the answers to a partner quiz, while recording their session.

Question 4 (Worth 1 points)

I tried something new while working on this module and it made me think that . . .

ESSAY SUBMISSION
I tried exploring in the ucompass environment and it made me think that between the whiteboard and chat room there may be opportunity to collaborate without leaving the classroom environment.




ESSAY FEEDBACK

True - Ucompass is ready for an update. There is little doubt that future LMS's will integrate all of the features of Elluminate directly. Greg
