Are you an educator? Have you ever wanted to understand more about how to design your class to make better use of educational technology – whether fully online or in blended contexts? Would you like to learn from those who have extensive practical experience with online technologies? The Learning to Teach Online (LTTO) MOOC will help you develop a working understanding of successful online teaching strategies that you can apply in your own practice. The course is based upon the multi award winning open educational resource developed by Dr Simon McIntyre and Karin Watson. Integrating online technologies into your teaching can be a challenging prospect, and it can be difficult to know how to approach it effectively for the benefit of both students and yourself. No one knows your own content and teaching strengths better than you, and the “one size fits all” formula doesn’t always suit everyone. No matter what type of technology you are interested in exploring or your level of experience, this course will help you draw on your teaching strengths and find the approach that is right for you, your students and your educational context. This course will guide you through your journey of understanding how online technologies can enhance your course design. You will have the opportunity to develop your understanding of effective online teaching practices and their relationship to the use of different technologies. You will also be encouraged to progressively design and reflect upon your own online learning activity, assessment or resource for use in your own class if you choose to undertake the course assignments.

A really interesting course for someone who is already teaching and wants to spice up the classroom or for someone who has absolutely no knowledge on online teaching.

Planning Online Learning + Online Learning Activities

'Module 3: Planning Online Learning' will explore the importance of planning online learning from a pedagogical perspective rather than a technology driven one. Careful planning is one of the most important aspects of teaching online, and success often depends upon taking the time to consider all of the different aspects of the online learning experience before you begin. The content and activities will explore the concepts of constructive alignment, choosing which aspects of a class are best done online or face-to-face, building digital literacy capabilities within your students, and examining your own motivations for wanting to teach online in the first place. 'Module 4: Online Learning Activities' will identify important considerations you need to keep in mind when developing online learning activities for your students. We will offer advice about how to plan an online activity, and help you think about which may be appropriate for your own students. When you are new to the process, understanding which online technology best supports different learning activities can be daunting. This module, along with a range of case studies, and activities, will explore the relationship between different technologies and specific activities in more depth.

脚本

My name is Jessica McCarthy, and I teach at Mosman High School.

And I've been using online technologies probably for the last five or six years.

I teach years 7 to 12, with varying numbers of students in each class.

Year seven has approximately 20 students per class.

On the other end of the scale, when I get to year 12, I have up to 30 in a class.

So it's all different and they all have different connections to devices.

I let students choose whatever software they want to use, so the main platform,

the LMS that we use is called Edmodo, which is an American website.

But it's free to use, and it's built for

education, so they listen to teachers and it's a great platform.

Their interface actually looks quite a lot like Facebook, so

it's like an online social network, and kids can post notes up,

images, actually any file type is accessible on Edmodo, which is fantastic.

Your level of ability to use Edmodo could be three out of ten.

The teacher doesn't have to do anything because the student can drive it.

The student will know instantly what to do.

Teachers probably need confidence in loading up files,

but they have a lot of online tutorials as well so it's really easy to use.

You can post links, so any website links that you want,

and then there's the option to post things from your library.

And your library is your own bank of resources that sits within Edmodo.

The library for students is known as the Backpack which is online storage for

students.

Along the side, you see that you have a range of your groups, so

as a teacher you can create or join a group.

So when you create a group you can create a group for any of your classes.

You give it any name that you would like.

So if I want to make one called Visual Arts, you select what year group

you're teaching, you can select your subject area.

And once you create it,

you can tell them how many kids you think

are going to be in it, a brief description,

and then you get this group code.

That code is unique to that group.

So you give it back to students, and then it gives them access to that group.

That becomes your classroom space.

And you can do anything that you want in that new group that you've created.

The other cool thing that I really like, another good function on Edmodo is

the assignment function, so you can assign assignments to students.

So any information that you need, it's like writing a normal assessment task.

You can load previous assignments if you have them, if you've given them, and

you give the same task every year. So I might choose that one and so

then everything that I've written previously comes up onto that assignment,

including the previous documents that I've loaded into that assignment.

As I said, any file format can be uploaded, so it's really great.

You post a due date and you make sure you've selected the group to send it to,

and then you send it to that group.

So when students haven't turned in assignments, I can go into that group,

and you can see which students have turned in assignments and

which students haven't, and you can grade them in that space.

My pre-flight checklist is not worry about it.

That's definitely a start.

Second thing is just go with the flow.

Kids are really up and down when you're in the classroom.

They don't always all have a device, so don't freak out.

That's definitely the start, don't freak out.

I think being prepared for things not to work.

Sorry, it sounds so negative, but I think you have to put those to one side first

and then be willing to ask questions, help kids, engage in a conversation with kids.

Have questions that you want to ask, or have resources that you want students to

use, but then allow that to be built upon like a brick wall.

It's building up.

You want to be able to generate

a selection of resources through this online dialogue.

Problems and challenges that you can face when using an online environment,

particularly in a school, is when the Internet doesn't work, and some of

the problems are that students don't bring their devices to class every lesson.

Sometimes they don't connect to the Internet anyway and

they have problems with their devices.

A lot of teachers rely on students to fix each other's problems, and

they usually can.

We have tech support at our school, and

students can be sent off to that tech support.

I use online learning in my classroom as a way to promote collaboration,

as a way to move the focus from myself as the teacher to the student as the learner.

So they are actively using online technologies while I'm in the classroom at

the same time.

It allows students who don't have a student voice to have

a voice in the classroom, and it creates a bigger conversation,

much more research, much more interesting responses to topics.

And it means we can extend our understanding as a classroom as opposed

to me always holding all the knowledge.

And so I've started this strategy in my classroom where I enter into the classroom

and I tell every student to get out their device, and on the white board,

old school white board, I'll write a series of three questions, and

then they have to find those answers and post them up online.

Then I give them 15, 20 minutes to do it, it's a very talkative period of time in

the classroom, and I go around to all the students and have face-to-face

conversations with them at the same time, while they post their answers online.

So it is a physical classroom while having online components, and then once

those online components are all together, I project them up onto the smartboard.

And then we collate them together as a class, in a class brainstorm, or

like a summative period, where I then add in the teacher-directed learning so

that they have a definite conclusion drawn at the end of that learning experience.

The feedback from the students are, generally, that they like it,

because even if they're absent they're able to engage in their learning,

Some students are absent for long periods of time.

They don't feel like they're missing out on anything.

Students, when they're having a panic, are able to still engage in a dialogue.

They're still able to be a part of that classroom.

I think that it means that kids don't have to worry about that extra layer of

doing stuff or doing a task.

So yes, some kids are still a bit apprehensive about it, but in

general they're all using social network, so they really like that connectivity.

I evaluated this platform through increased student engagement.

Students were able to talk to me.

So not only can I see it and

I can mark it wherever I am, because I can carry my device anywhere I go, but

it means that the kids can get feedback from their peers as well if they want to.

And it just increases the conversation and moves the workspace from being just in

the classroom to being anywhere that I want it to be.

It's been so worthwhile, it's so changed my teaching.

To anyone who's starting to use an online learning space, just stick to it.

I had a friend ask me, how do you get kids to constantly keep doing it?

And I just stick to my guns.

I really believe in it, so I just keep going.

It may not work every lesson, and I don't think that matters.

I think you always learn from that failure.

So you just gotta keep sticking to it.

Enjoy it.

Just let loose and have a good time.

See if it works.

You might have one great lesson and one bad lesson.

But take that one lesson and go with it and try it again and

then see if that works another time.
