Hi Robert and all classmates!!!!
Introduction
Here
is a great quote;
"Preparing students today for tomorrow's workforce has a lot to do
with teaching about how to use and evaluate knowledge. The Internet is rapidly
becoming the biggest repository of information we have ever known. The key will
be in our ability to find, evaluate and use the information it provides. We
need to teach analytical and organizational skills. Students must know how to
evaluate data. Gone are then days when students spent their time memorizing
facts that were readily available at their fingertips. Students need to learn communication
and study skills. We must give them the type of tools that prepare them for
lifelong learning, so they know how to study and how to evaluate the importance
of what they learn."
In olden times, people were
securing limited knowledge on account of less resources. In the present time,
people are obtaining their skills internationally. They share their ideas and
information with well known experts of the world in each and every field of
education; they also learning online. Online learning gets people to learn
internationally, and serve internationally.
In tenth means last week of our course, we
majored in assorted favorable subject matters; as, Recap/Overview
(advice to future participants), and Levels of Technology Integration (LoTI).
Recap/Overview (advice to future
participants)
I found eminently the whole activities
intriguing and well-informed. All subject matters have got a vivid sitting.
Earlier than this course, I did not know about using technology in teaching. At
the present moment, I learned a lot how to utilize technology in teaching and
learning. I studied and thrashed out the most significant topics regarding
using technology in teaching; as, searching website, ABCD method
objective, final project – step 1, describing a class,
aural/oral skill-building websites, creating a
delicious page, and discussing a past sample project report, discussing reading, writing, and vocabulary skills, issue or problem that started the project, technology
enhanced lesson plan, project-based learning, WebQuest,
rubrics and alternative assessment, project
task-4 solution issue or problem that started
the project, technology tools for creating student-centered classes, creating an
interactive PowerPoint document, use of one computer in classroom, learner autonomy,
wallwisher, finding a partner for peer reading, creating an online course site
or exercise, teaching with online tools, learning styles, and Final project
report. I found the whole subject matters extremely knowledgeable and best for
teaching with technology. All topics were discussed very, very glowing by our
instructor Robert. I’m very thankful to him. I practiced and conducted the
whole themes in my class. Students learned by very easy method their course
topics and enjoyed a lot. These days, I am teaching with technology, and really
taking pleasure in.
My advice for new participants is
that they should practice the whole activities, and subject matters of this
course with core of heart, and should conduct them in their classes fully;
completing this beneficial course, they will be able to use technology tools in
their teaching approaches intelligently. First, I was not capable of teaching
well, and always feel problems how to engage class, now technology helped me
and made me able to teach well and engage students adequately. I had the
problem of biggish number of students; I did not know how to resolve it
successfully. In this course, I learned about blogging; this useful technology
tool resolved my problem productively. I love using technology in
teaching.
Levels of Technology Integration
(LoTI)
In this week, I learned about the
Levels of Teaching Innovation framework. I have gone through the all levels;
as, LoTi
Level 0 - Non-use, LoTi Level 1 – Awareness, LoTi Level 2 – Exploration, Level
3 – Infusion, Level4a–Integration: Mechanical, Level 4b – Integration: Routine,
Level 5 – Expansion, and Level
6 – Refinement. I really enjoyed reading them because they were very motivating and knowledgeable. These levels fully assist teaching methodologies as well as students learning and social activities.

Conclusion
Online learning gets one to enhance his knowledge internationally. It
creates a sound educational atmosphere for learning any thing. As we know that online learning is the taking of courses
where our materials are delivered to our computers via an internet link, and
our communications with other course participants are done within the
professional learning site. While we may occasionally communicate via
telephone, letter or e-mail, there is no requirement for us to be in a specific
place at a specific time. Usually, the people who learn this way are at a
distance from the institution, they learn with, hence the term distance learning. I always have got an
attempt to learn online, and get better my teaching skills internationally.
