After analyzing my answers from the two quizzes I took, I think I am okay with being an online student as well as an online teacher. I am pretty familiar with technology and have access to most things asked in both quizzes. There are also many things out on the web that are unfamiliar or new to me. I must say as a student at times, I can become frustrated with an online class only because technology doesn’t always work to my benefit. I also know that this unfamiliarity will help me in the learning process. This is effective in the teaching world, as I learn my students will learn as well. Online education is a different perspective of learning and thinking “outside the box”. I find myself drawn to these ideas as students learn from those “outside the box” experiences.
As a teacher, this will be somewhat new to me as I journey my way through making this online course. I think I hope to complete this course thoroughly as I have started working my way through it. I am definitely learning new things along the way, and have especially hit the back/edit button hundreds of times. If I can be open to learning and my students are able to see that, then they will feel much more comfortable in the learning process as well.
