Great discussion. I introduce the rubrics to students at the beginning of the course. There are times where I will continue to refer students back to the rubrics when providing grades. Students are also encouraged to ask questions and I assist the best way that I can. I do not, change scores, but rather give tips and suggestions to the students on how to best improve their work. Thanks

Has anyone used twitter as an activity in their classrooms?

I have not used twitter, but I think it would be cool. I know students enjoy social media a lot, but they may not enjoy them all.

If you have tried twitter, I'd love to hear what strategies you have employed and how your students felt about it.

Thanks

I use youtube videos to enhance the learning experience in the classroom. Each student learns differently so incorporating videos will allow students to learn from a visual. I choose videos that relate to the topics we are discussing and always ask students to provide their thoughts. The students enjoy them very much. Thank you

Hi David,

Time management is the biggest barrier for the online student.

In every class there are students struggling to manage their time wisely. It is surprising to me when I see the same student in future classes still stating they are struggling with time management. I almost really believe that some students take the online study for granted and try to create their own expectations by using the "same line", which is time management or personal issues. In return, the instructor is there to coach, facilitate, and guide the student to success all while trying to lower his or her policy… >>>
