Finished up course 3 yesterday. The objective of this course was to instruct how to collaborate and learn in a virtual environment. As educators, we must be aware that our learners are incorporating virtual environments in all aspects of their lives, and we need to be prepared to interact with them on a new platform. The process of this curriculum allowed me to learn about new technologies and how they could be applied to education. We were tasked to first document the learning with a blog and link with our Twitter account to record our findings over the six weeks. Building mock classes and integrating with others taught us to understand the planning process and what evolution occurs, and privacy considerations, when a class becomes part of a social network platform. The instructor must build a thoughtful template for the learning, but the amazing growth occurs when the students collaborate. Managing the information overload is a key factor to successfully reviewing the assignments given to our learners. The realization that I can be linked to experts in my field, and draw upon their knowledge and resources is a fact that will help elevate my overall skill level and performance. Next to Number 4!
