I feel that I have reached a turning point in my teaching career. I have always struggled with creating a learning environment that could accommodate the learning needs of twenty eight to thirty students. I was designing one program and making all the students fit into the program. Now I feel there is a much more effective and efficient way to deliver an individualized program to all the students.
After completing OLTD 501, I have begun to realize what it really means to develop individualized learning. I have begun to realize how empowering individualized learning can be. Because of this, I have begun building “kit bag”of strategies that will allow too design programs that are much more learner centered. I need to continue to add to my “kit bag”.
In order to create a blended learning environment, I will need to encourage my school administrators to invest more money in the technology that will allow me to create this environment. I will need to collect evidence that demonstrates how engaged students become. The more engaged a student is, the
more learning will take place.
I think it would be very helpful to take a Professional Development day and connect with a teacher who is currently teaching in an online environment. I would love to observe an elementary school teacher teaching in an online environment.
