Blog Assignment 4: Engagement

This has been a week, I tried to get as much done at the first of the week as possible. I complete the Course site project and worked more on my outline assignment. I still have to add additional details to the outline, thank you Dr Gale for the suggestions and the review.
Our reading this was about engagement and how we engage students within the online setting. As I develop my class on photography I want my students to engage as much as possible. If you were taking a real photography class and you were going to take photos for the public I think it would very important to have true critiquing of photos. I know when I have my children's pictures made I examine them well before I purchase them. So I feel like the engagement will go well in my class to prepare students for public observation of photos.

What I have found interesting this week is how much one person can actually do and still get the class work done. I have worked 12 to 14 hours a day. We had a special event this week and fund raised money all week as well as ending our basketball season. So with this course seeming to have several assignments I have had to do much time management this week to get everything completed. However the topic of conversation this week has been a good topic to have as I love to engage with my students at work and I think it is great for students to have as much engagement through the class as possible.

I am still working on my outline and thinking about the rubrics for my assignments. Not really having trouble but will refresh my reading on the rubric as I work through the process.

Hope everyone else had a great week and is have much success in their class development.

Blog assignment 1- Analysis

Since our creation of this blog, I have read about the important components need to develop an online classroom. As I read through the material I thought of the classes that I have taken and how each part was represented in the previous classes. Some classes presented more of the information than others.  We learned about ADDIE and in our assignment we will start with the "A" in the ADDIE model the Analysis in our course outline.  I have decided that I will develop my class on photography. I love photography and by no means am I an expert on it but I do enjoy it and would love to learn more about it myself. So as I develop my class I will be learning also.  I am excited to get started and see what the other students have in mind for their online class. I think this will be very interesting as we move forward with this project. Some problems that I have had this week is how to fill in all the information about my class on the online information. I continue...

Blog entry 3 Building Community and Collaboration This week we have worked on the Course Outline Assignment, building community and collaboration. Reading the material and watching the videos give you assistance while building the course outline with helpful do's and don't. This project is very in depth, I have never completed a course outline. My interest this week is creating the student involvement. The most of the testing in my class will be at the beginning so that I know that they understand how to use the camera. I want my course to be more hands on, taking pictures and having the other students to assess the photos. I think the students will learn more from critiquing others work. My problem is that I would like for the students to share their pictures on a blog. I think this will be a good thing for them to start while in the class then the blog could be carried into a business for others to see their work. I have not exactly figured out how I will grade the sub...
