Tonight in EDT352 we discussed all of the things that are required of us during our time in the Spring semester of 2017. First, we went through the syllabus together where Dr. Sponder highlighted the course projects, rules and regulations, late passes, and office ours that are available to us.
We dove into the blog fairly early into the class. I had some significant trouble logging in and creating a blog on this site in the classroom, but I had much more success at home on my PC. We are required to write a blog response on the things that we learned in the class every day, and then we are required to respond to a blog post of someone else before the next class.
After the blog, we jumped into the Moodle. Dr. Sponder has created a moodle page for each of us and he brought us through the settings and showed us how to change the weeks to topics. He explained that this was going to be a "course" that we would be teaching. I have chosen to link it to my teaching as a Physical Education teacher and have each unit be one of those that I teach at Avon High School.
Finally, we went through how to use WebEx to access the meeting room for our online class. I went through this training last night during EDT 512 so this was review for me. I am anxious and excited to get started with this class and program, and I hope to learn many things that I can transfer and use in my classroom.
Hey man,
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you as I wasn't in the first class. Name is Mike and I also have a degree in Physical Education so I am just as eager as you as to learning about the different opportunities and tools I can present to my students in the classroom. I have never used the WebEx system before and am fairly new to most of this stuff that we are learning but it should be interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience as I heard you had some trouble via the recordings Dr. Sponder posted to moodle. Look forward to hearing some of your ideas as well as others in the class.
