Many of the strategies and tools highlighted on the graphic organizer are transferable for use within the traditional classroom setting. In many ways the use of online strategies and tools not only enhance the in-class learning experience, but also serve as an extension of the learning process beyond school hours. The educational tools listed under the categories of content, collaboration and communication each contribute to the educational processes in an online and traditional classroom setting.
Educational content can be delivered through and kept engaging by project based learning strategies, teacher engagement in online discussion, and through prescribed deadlines for assignments. Additionally, assessment tools such as peer evaluation and rubric assessments provide key information and feedback to ensure the learner stays on track whether in-class or online. Communication and collaboration tools further assist with the learning process.

Hi Bianca,
ReplyDeleteYour graphic organizer is very clean and easy to understand. I too feel that a teacher social presence is very important especially in the online environment. Without the interactions of the teacher and students, the online learning environment would die out at a fast past. I am curious to see what innovations will become available within the next 5 years.
Great Post!
Thanks Contrell!
