550 Week 6

• I will use what I learned in this course over the next 30 days by implementing many of the ideas and strategies with my class and our class wiki. I will also share what I learned with the colleagues in my own building.
  

• I will use what I learned in over the next year by educating more teachers, friends, and family about the positive aspects of online education. I would like to help dispel the myths and jokes I hear about people thinking it's the "easy" option. My husband is a year away from his O.D. and some of his classmates have made comments to me implying that my Master's program/degree must be so easy because it's online. I feel like people think I took the easy route by doing my program online. I would like people to realize how online education works because chances are their own children will have the opportunity to take classes online in the future.
  

• After completing this course I would like to learn more about the job opportunities that might be available to teach online. I really enjoyed my facilitation experience and I would love to gain more experience and possibly observe someone in my content area teaching online. I have explored the Florida Virtual Schools Spanish curriculum and I evaluated another district's Spanish curriculum online for the University of Memphis but I would like to observe a "live" class.
