This week was about focusing on what teachers need to do to implement a successful online course. We’ve all been teaching, but most of us have no experience in teaching distance courses. I think we have what we need to know and do when it comes to close up instruction, but need to think about what transfers to online teaching. There is so much that transfers, however, like Genevieve and some others have mentioned, humanizing is important because we don’t see that face to face interaction. Students don’t see each other. Bridget also talked about having students do projects to interact, which has helped her get to know classmates (as it has with all of us). Theresa mentioned the importance of being present and the rest will follow. That was a good reminder to really be in the moment. I think that really summarizes what we need to do when dealing with others at any time, near or far.
