My students are gaining 21st century skills by working on online projects, creating projects on Powerpoint and Windows Movie Maker, and communicating with their penpals around the world through e-pals.
I understand the Virtual School Legislation in Wisconsin and am concerned that there may not be enough teachers certified to teach online. I do believe that this certification will help me hold onto my job, even when students are moving more and more toward online learning instead of traditional face-to-face learning. If an online teaching position opens up in my district, I am only the second person on staff who is certified to teach online.
My district's involvement in online learning includes online AP classes, and NovaNet for credit recovery. Some of the high school teachers also use Moodle and Edmodo.
During this module I was excited about learning how to teach an online course! I had never really considered how that would be before this class, and now I feel like I could be really prepared to go ahead and teach one. I can't wait!
