Lesson 4/5 Instructor Notes

(Same message posted to course twitter & BBLearn Discussion Board area)

This is time that we get very exhausted in our 7-week session because our class progresses rapidly. I noticed that we were still active and we had high quality discussion postings.  Don’t give up.  Less than two weeks to finish it.  Most of you are doing very well.

Thanks for your actively participating in Lesson 4 discussions and other lesson activities.  Congratulations! 

·      Lesson 4 Discussions: Set a new record for the Lesson 4 historical average posting (13.88 vs. 9.32).

·      We were the highest average posting in the past 7 years.

Don’t’ forget Team 4’s great lesson facilitation; therefore, we had active and quality discussion postings. Please do continue your good work in the upcoming lessons.

·      Lesson Discussions

o   Continue your active and quality postings.

o   Be sure to respond ALL key discussion questions in the 1st posting period. I noticed some did not.  Don’t’ fall behind.

o   Continue providing references/citation to support your arguments. Remember we are graduate students and we should be able to apply literature to support our ideas.

·      Group work

o   I hope your group is working on your final PD.  This is a comprehensive project; therefore, it has to be thorough.

o   Your final PD is more than just putting content online.

o   Based on previous students’ learning experiences, here are some areas seem to be weak.  Make sure your PD is strong in these areas.

§  Apply multiple online technologies

§  Integrate “Online Constructivist instructional strategies” to make online community activities more active, interactive, and effective.

§  Facilitate “sustainable” “online learning community” for all stakeholders.

§  Included effective assessments so you know whether integrated “Online Constructivist instructional strategies,” and online technologies work, in addition to whether the audiences learn the content.  Remember learning the content or not is only thing to assess.
