The main focus of this course was the implementation and reflection of the online learning experience that I have been working on throughout the past 3 semesters. Through blended courses that I have taught in the past I have had an understanding of the basic parts of a Learning Management System. This course provided me with the opportunity to create an organized learning experience and dive deeper into some of the more advanced features. This experience is an essential foundation for becoming a technology coach. Through my experience this semester i now have an understanding of how to use these tools to provide students with a personalized learning experience. It would be difficult for me to recommend a resource to others that I have not already tried in my own classroom. This experience gives my much more credibility as a coach and the ability to provide others with greater support as they attempt to use similar resources.
Many of the assignments for this course help to get my online learning experience off of the ground such as creating a prep checklist or a course schedule. Other resources helped to support the personalized learning experience that I was creating. Early in the course we completed and reflected on a learning styles inventory. This provides me with knowledge about myself and how I learn. This is also valuable information for any instructor that I may have in the future. I plan on making some form of learning style inventory a part of any class that i teach in the future. It will be nearly impossible to provide learning opportunities that incorporates student strengths if I am not aware of what those strengths are. This course has helped further develop my technology toolbox with previously mentioned resources and a wealth of other online resources and strategies. My main goal for this program is to become the most effective teacher that I can become. I also want to take what I am learning and share with as many people as I can. I now have countless resources and strategies that can be incorporated into online learning experiences. Through my experiences I am able to continually refine how I implement these resources and strategies.
