Participate Reflection



The participate module helped prepared to meet the standards C, E and J.  For example, standard C involves a hands-on approach to learning.  Various modules were created to show mastery of learning.  The Netiquette assignment allowed me the opportunity to create a poster that can be used for future educational platforms.   

Practicing standard E allowed me the opportunity to gather information about safe internet practices and safe website browsing.  Creating a poster displaying safety and security words was a great introduction to understanding safe practices.  Viewing the poster will allow the learner the opportunity to understand that failure to follow rules can and will result in legal accountability. 

Last standard J involved reviewing proper internet time usage. A calendar was created to help manage time wisely.    As an educator I learned that I have the tools to create a safe, and nurturing environment via internet.  It is my duty to take the lead by using safe practices thus encouraging and requiring other to follow suite.   

The strategies I will take away from the participate module and apply to my teaching are creating digital calendar, sharing reputable digital resources, and Netiquette.  As an health educator I will stress the importance of not overusing the computer.  The calendar will help my students remember the importance of giving themselves frequent breaks.  Understanding the symptoms of device addiction will help student curtail the onset of digital overuse.  Sharing reputable digital resources takes out the guess work for the learner.  Providing safe sites will not only save time but also decrease the chance of the learner contracting a digital virus thus enabling the computer to function leading the unsuccessful completion of a course.  Last, Netiquette is equally important.  Students must understand computer language to ensure that he or she is not offensive when navigating through an online platform.  As always, the cloud lives on forever. 


The lessons that involved creating posters and sharing pictures were most beneficial.  Many students are visual learners and I look forward to sharing my work with my students to ensure that they are safe and successful while completing coursework


All pictures used were not created.  The pictures were gathered from the following sites and or devices:  Kahoot, Brainpop, GoNoodle, Apple Phone Calendar

Communicate 2 - Synchronous Sessions

Answer in your blog : How does integrating synchronous learning sessions within the online environment assist in developing a learning community for students? Discuss this question at length in your blog. Integrating synchronous learning sessions allow students the ability to use apps that are congruent to their learning styles.  Communication is more obtainable and easier to achieve.  Communication can occur virtually in any environment when using synchronous learning sessions.  Communicating via phone requires a person to set aside a time and date to conduct the learning session, therefore the environment must be conducive to all parties to ensure decrease distractions.    Also some students are lacking communication skills and are more comfortable with learning through the tool.  It in essence takes away the pressure of verbal auditory communication and learning with the teacher and student.  Create and post in your blog :  An outline or l...
