I have taught a hybrid class in the past, and I don’t know what to expect once I\u00a0get an opportunity to teach a full-online class in the future. I do feel comfortable in the classroom because I have been teaching for a few years. I’m pretty sure I’ll find new challenges. The\u00a0textbook mentioned that teaching an online class is based on trial and error, and I find that to be true. I say that because of my own experience teaching on campus classes. I find myself critiquing all my activities and trying to find a way to make them better. I am sure it will be similar to teaching an online course; it is scary but at the same time exciting.<\/p>\n

Jinnefer Humber’s video summed it all\u00a0up: Who, What, Where,\u00a0When and How?\u00a0The five questions can act as a check list for an online class.\u00a0 For me, it\u00a0has been very helpful. It will determine who\u00a0my students are, what\u00a0goals and objectives must be met, where\u00a0they can access the course material, when they can access and submit it and how they will access it.<\/p>\n

Finally, I have been visiting different (free) sites\u00a0in order to\u00a0get acquainted with other tools that might be useful once I\u00a0begin teaching\u00a0on online class. I have signed up\u00a0for Twitter and began to follow a few interesting people, created my avatar and began\u00a0creating a video presentation for my Spanish 101 class.<\/p>\n

I had a blast creating my avatar. He and I even look identical–maybe not so much. Press play to hear him talk. Here he is:<\/p>\n
