The history of online learning will be explored as well as strategies and best practices that lead to success in online learning environments. Combining effective pedagogy with engaging curriculum and a variety of technology tools, participants will learn how to increase teacher presence in virtual instruction to humanize the learning experience which builds academic and social connections in the online classroom.
Learn how to create standards-based technology-infused lessons and incorporate them into the curriculum. This course begins with studying state and locally adopted technology standards, including International Standards Technology Education (ISTE) Standards for Students, technology use plans, and subject matter standards.
The flipped classroom reverses how class and home time are utilized. A flipped classroom means, at its most basic definition, that students watch a video of the day's lesson while at home. Then during class time, they work on problem sets, projects, and discussions. Traditional homework is done during the school day where students have access to the teacher's expertise and interaction with their peers while the lecture (lesson) would be watched at home.
