Reply to Laura McCormack's post: Definitely the technological part plays a great role during teaching. If they know that the teacher can help them with these technological issues they feel more safe and confident.
First of all the instructor should be in control of the course. This means that he should be able to manage the program used as well as he knows the subject he taeches for most of the students experience technological issues when attending the course. Secondly, the instructor should not be the only one talking during the session. he should make sure that the students are included in discussions.
When it comes to an online learning environment it is essential for instructors to provide meaningful learning activities if they want to engage learners. By implementing active learning activities, I can enhance students intellectual interaction and facilitate positive learning outcomes.
It is important to know the content and know it from different points of view. Also, it is important to be available, flexible, and understanding. To apply this, every instruction would be thoughtfully done, delivery would be clear, and any misunderstandings would be cleared immediately.
Online instructor must be familiar with the Course Management System the school uses and also ensre the technical support is readily available to the e-learnesr so that they won't get furstrated.

With regards to: Online Teaching Techniques and its application, I learned in this course, that to become a good online instructor, I need to realize my effective level of preparedness, my transition into the responsibilities and roles used with teaching online and how to become effective and be efficient with the management of my students in this unique learning environment. I also learned that I need and will use techniques like projection of my authority and presence as an instructor in this e-learning setting, I will build an educational relationship with each student, encourage their positive participation and constructive feedback. I will also manage effective communications and manage unacceptable behavior and disagreement resolutions throughout. Likewise, I will employ the characteristics of quality online courses such as: structural integrity, navigational simplicity, intellectual interaction and an active learner centered system. I will utilize the knowledge that Modules and Lessons are the most popular course structure, employ the fact that a Course Management System - is the best online delivery paltform in an online environment; as well as tracking the performance of my students and their grades. I will also keep in mind the causitive facts of online student frustrations and the values of Technical support avaiability and interactions. I will familiarize myself with the course delivery techniques and strategies which are essential in my becoming an effective online instructor.
I"ve learned that you have to properly strategize before conducting an online class.
Being an online instructor is more than just being able to regurgitate information. You have to be able to take the classroom experience and bring it to life on the computer. The student needs to know that they can ask you questions offline as well as online. You also need to be able to explain not just the xontent but how to utilize the technology as well.

its important the content is engaging so stuents are connected to the material and can be involved in it. they also need to feel they have the support and connection to the insructor.
I learned that familiarizing yourself with the course delivery techniques and strategies is tremendously important. one it's important for you to know how to navigate so that you can prepare your course but also so that you can frame activities and requirements well for the students. One technique was having a navigational simplicity of showing the course and the modules and how the lessons of broken down so that the students can see where things are going and how they sort of fit together.
I learned that online teaching techniques should follow a tranparent format for best student learning means. Although teaching strategies do vary, the delivery with online teaching should be consistent. Also, knowing the essential tech support will by key in reducing learning frustrations.
It is interesting to see read and listen to the responsibilities of the instructor and what the CMS should be able to do as we are shifting from the classroom to the online platform. Much of the technological supports are still missing at my district and create prohibitive practices for effective online instruction.
I have learned that there will be several ways that I will be able interact with the students and keep them engaged during online activity.
As I am not only particpating in Distance Learning for my students, I am also mid-program for my Master's degree. I have learned all of the necessary steps my professors have had to be trained on and complete just to work through our online courses. With this thorough understand of what it entails, it has put me more at ease in knowing that I have completed most of these steps. While I am not a fan of online learning fore myself as a student, I now feel prepared to teach online.
I will create my units based on my previous class had have a google slides for each lesson that will include topcis surrounding the content to help them digest it in small pieces
Communication is Key with our students. Having an understanding of the content of what I am teaching and How I am teaching is Key. Be available for your students.
I understand having structure with online courses, but believe it will be hard to figure out each student personality any ideas.
Having a simple to follow content in the modules is key. As an online learner and instructor I notice that the simpler the outline the better the learners' outcomes will be.
