As the class comes to an end I have had a chance to really look at what it is to be an online teacher. It is a world I have always wondered about especially with how it all would work. It was great to get to hear an experienced online teacher talk and share experiences. It was also great to hear that my opinions about the lower grades with online schooling are ones that others share. It is tough to hear that some think our elementary grades could develop socially with online learning. It is schooling that allows our students to learn the social protocol and develop friendships that are practice for the rest of their lives.
Reviewing Web 2.0 tools was a challenge as we have done this many times throughout the course. It was nice to find new new tools though. Overall the course was the exposure I needed to really grasp what online teaching and learning is. I am now able to say that I have some idea of what I could be getting into in the future of education as I will be certified to teach online in the near future!
