After reading chapter six and the various links this weeks, I have a better understanding of what building a classroom should look like. I like what Lisa said on seven things I’d want to know as a new online teacher. I think one of the most if not the most important thing to do is to study the online teaching disciplines. That is various tools out there, yet we have to make sure that they are only used as a tool and not replace our teaching. I really liked Pilar’s idea of creating study groups based on availability. It will give the students collaboration practice.
Because of the material that I have to cover it will be best for me to divide and organize the material into units for the students to feel free to work according to time. I also feel that is best that the discussion for the week matches the unit we are studying, it will give the student extra practice to show me that they are comprehending the lesson well.
Lastly I been navigating and exploring sound cloud, and it looks like something I can really use on my Spanish class, so I hope I am able to create something for my students when I start developing an online course. I will also really will like to focus on uploading videos and audios for my students to practice the language. I think that seen themselves and listening to their progress will be a great motivator.
