What are your "takeaways" from the course?

What are your "takeaways" from this course?

I would welcome the opportunity to reread some of the articles presented in the class. I hope that we can get a list of them or keep our login for awhile so I can save some of them.

If I would get to teach an online & hybrid class again, I would make it more interactive, for sure! I would have the kids introduce themselves to each other and post weekly blog comments. I would encourage them to email each other for help.

I gave feedback to my online kids as I do with my traditional classroom students and it takes lots of time. I knew it was essential for student learning in an online English class and this online/blended class affirmed that feedback to online students is key to success.

I like the symbaloo as a sort of holding place for tools I use and tools I want to use but don't have time to use at the moment. I will color code tools to visit when time allows or at point-of-need.

The blog comments from peers were just fun! Blogging is BORING when no one comments.
