Hi! I just began the course today. One thing I learned from the first section is that there are different teaching styles and none of them are "wrong" and teachers primarily blend these styles. I worked for a school full time for over a decade and instructors were known as facilitators and all our pedagogy training focused on that one style of teaching. I am more of a blend, but discovered when I took the initial test here that this exclusive focus led to most of my incorrect answers.
I was familiar with most of this technology, but I found the development of wikis a fascinating idea. I'm in general education and so it's not that applicable, but I think specific departments with cohorts of students moving through a major at the same time, that developing a wiki for that cohort would be a great idea.
I liked the idea of short lectures. I make certain what I share in video is short and as engaging as possible. I know from watching my daughter (who is a college student) that long videos and lectures are seldom watched all the way through.
