Assignment (see Appendix G) || ====== Candidates will create online course focusing on learning experiences that include Web 2.0 resources, assistive technologies and best practices for online learning. ====== || Reflection/Learning: Focus reflection on the Technology Facilitator Standards and Performance Indicators. Use textbook references as well as two additional references. ( Minimum of 250 Words ) || The process of creating this online learning experiences falls under Standard II Planning and Designing Learning Environments and Experiences. Williamson and Redish (2009) talks about technologies in the classroom in chapter two, they says how important technology can be to students to help them find answers, collaborate with others, create new products, and many more things (p. 33). After creating this online learning experience I know the benefits educators could have from designing and implementing an online course. As an educator I will be able to put lessons on this course and students could get their homework online. I could run a discussion board where students can go and ask questions and get answer from the teacher or other students. All of this works only if the educators design and implement their online courses in the correct way, which is why it is important to teach educators these skills. Watson (2007) discusses the role of the online teacher, many times people think the teacher has a less role but as this reading points out all the things the teacher has to do to make sure the class happens. They are in charge of things like updating the lessons, making sure students are online, guiding the learning, and assessing the students are just a few roles they are required to keep up (pp. 11-12).

I will also integrate online learning into my role as a staff developer. As a staff developer, sharing the knowledge of online learning and how to implement this technology in the classroom with other teachers would help them enhance their classrooms and engage the students.

I plan on using this new learning as an educator of students and of other teachers. Any way to spark new life into a classroom and allow students to be fully engaged is very important. According to Bransford, Brown, and Cocking (2000), chapter 9 talks about the importance of interactivity of technology environments as a feature for learning (p. 131). This goes back to makings sure the technology is integrated correctly and effectively. Teachers need to use technology in their classrooms because technology is the future and our students need to be able to use different types of technology to survive in the future.
