When teaching a class the teacher must decide what technology tool is best for both teacher and student and not just the teacher. Lecturing should not go past 15 minutes. There are several ways to get information across to students effectively. Students are different so choose wisely.
Becoming a facilator allows for instructors to gage the tools we are using to better educate our students in an online environment.
Exploring the resources we have also allows for us to make our classes more engaging and keep the focus on learning.
When a technology tool is difficult to use or learn , teaching and learning are inhibited. The tool should support, not hinder, the teaching and learning.
It is a more elaborate and much more specific plan. Taking into account the material as it is taught, the tools of use and the objectives of the class. I would like to apply it to each topic of the class. At a weekly level to be able to accustom the student that for example: on Mondays there is theory, on Tuesday deliver the Monday assignment and clarify doubts, Wednesday tutorial and Thursday doubts of this week and review of the week with a quiz.
There are many teaching styles and a variety of teaching tools to enhance each teaching style. It is important to assess the type of instructor you are and then assess the teaching tools to determine what works best with your style of teaching and for the student.
I have learned about different teaching styles and the roles instructor must be aware of when providing online teaching. This helps me understand how not to leave any students behind and be aware of student needs. When planning, consider things from every angle.
I learned aobut the various technology tools and how to match them to teaching styles for facilitated learning.
i learned about how to match tools to teaching style for max effectiveness
What tools to use for instructing best for teaching and learning. Students feedback very important
I learned that tools may have a multitude of functions, but it's essential to match the right tool with the function that is appropriate for student learning.
The most important idea that I took away from this module is how to use technology to assist myself and students. Technology can be used to help teachers through online trainings. When choosing technology tools, teachers should review the tool to be sure that it works correctly and is set up to achieve the highest learning possible for the student.
One thing that was brought to my attention is the use of voiceover powerpoints. I have not thought of using this technology in the LMS, but I belive it would be of huge benefit to students.
This module is the firend of the instructor anf the student. It is important that as an instructor tha you learn how it works and make sure that it works correctly before putting it out for the students. There should also be feedback from others to see if the technology is useful and functional.
I learned the importance of choosing, assessing, and using the right technology tools for the right job when teaching online. Identifying and contuniously assessing my teaching style while looking for ways to better facilitate learnkng is key to students successfully meeting course outcomes while having a memorable and enriching classroom experince.
I learned that there are many different tools for us to use. We need to assess them and how they can help us teach the students. We can be creative with the technology, but always make sure you are getting the desired results. If not, you may have to change the technology or how you are using the technology.
From this module, I learned that an instructor should carefully curate the list of technology tools they use. Limiting the options and choosing the appropriate tool in each situation will help students to better learn the tools themselves, know what to expect, and to focus on the learning, rather than the technology.
I learned that there are many tools that can be used in online learning. I also learned that as teachers we need to assess what our teaching style is and adapt that style for the online classroom. As with all teaching matters, feedback and reflection is critical to the learning process. I liked the stop, start, continue process. I also learned how important it is to match the online tool to the desired outcome.
I believe that it is important to know your style of taching and how to use technology to enhance your stenghts and weaknesses. And you must always get feedback from the students and constantly evaluate your self.
This Module was very informative. I have learned to assess different learning tools that compliment the the content delivery. If not matched effectively, it may inhibit the student from successfully learning the content. I have also gained insight on my teaching style.
I have learned the importance of properly selecting the appropriate technology tool and be sure instructors use the appropriate tool to satisfy the course objectives/student outcomes. I've learned that virtual classrooms are the most interactive approached, they were modeled after F2F and can be recorded and presented later in an asynchronous learning. There are 5 teaching styles: authority, demonstrator, facilitator, delegate and expert yet every style should include facilitation.
