- We all contributed to a class wiki. I have never edited a wiki before, so it was a little rough going at first. Once I got onto the wiki it was easy and I can see how this type of collaboration could get students engaged in their learning.
- I learned that a simple student survey can be used as an assessment and a tool to quickly get to know your students needs. It is easy to make surveys through SURVEY MONKEY , Google Forms and many others sites/apps.
- My personal favorite activity was a discussion that asked the question what movie has a deep meaning in your life. This was a creative way to get to know each other. It was a little difficult to choose just one movie. However, it was a chance to reflect on my life and it was very interesting to read all the other responses.
I am an art and design teacher taking the online assessment class at UW Stout. I teach face to face at the high school level, but I use online tools in my teaching frequently.
This is my second class in the UW Stout online instruction series. I took the INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN: e learning class last summer and made a blog as well. I am excited to learn more from this class and hope that one day I might be able to teach online classes.
For now, I enjoy teaching face to face art and design classes at Cary-Grove HS in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, and I use the techniques from these online classes to help design and assess digital learning in my art and technology classes.
