Throughout the course of the ISTE program, I expect to gain a wealth of knowledge on how to better serve the students, teachers and fellow leaders working within the administrative capacity. To date, throughout the course orientation, I feel I have garnered from the instructors and the educators within the cohort. The varied experiences that each member bring to the table has proven very useful. I hope to gain a wealth of knowledge that supports the theory and practice that generates effective schools.
Some steps that I will take to ensure success is an an ongoing exploration of the ELC online educational platform.
I will certainly continue to use the To Do list and the other features available for self-monitoring. Working together with colleagues within the program is central to practice tools for success. Closely reading the required material and collaborationg with colleagues on how to best utilize the information is a major step that I will take for success. Further, working collectively to transform schools to meet common core standards is essential to success.
I still need support on organizing a systemic flow to accessing the various ELC class features. Currently, I access multiple links before locating exactly what I am looking for. I have been using a notetaking system for writing points from the website to help channel and focus my train of thought to complete the many facets of the orientation activities. The challenge with creating a flow for me right now, is due in part, to a late start. I realize that the course work will present even greater demands. Developing a systemic flow to complete all work thoroughly is where I still need support.
After completing the Online Orientation, it sounds like you have identified strategies for success. You have done an excellent job catching up with the rest of the group. It is essential to stay on top of the work in these online courses because the assignments can easily pile up. Like you say, Having a plan or a good work flow system to manage your course time and tasks is essential. Good Luck as you move into your first “real” course!
ReplyDeleteHi Ryan, it is nice to see this comment here at this juncture in the program. Thank you. Wow! The assignments are great learning experiences! I am still working to organize a system that is most effective for high quality timely work completion. I am currently taking three courses, Team Ldrship, PD & Super and of course the Internship course. Thankfully, I have maintained and feel hopeful that I may be on the heels of sustaining.
ReplyDeleteDeveloping a systemic flow to access online assignment course tools and organizing for work completion remains a challenge. I am just now beginning to interact with my blog site more. I realize your service to us has possibly ended, but any direction that you can share in the areas of , 1- navigating the blog (access to others etc.)
2-organizing files
