As the weeks progress I am learning there are some advantages to not always meeting in a classroom and having a face to face lecture/class. An example is this week. I was scheduled to work Thursday night at 7 and because this is a non-meeting week I could fulfill that responsibility. However, the class I was suppose to teach was cancelled so now I get a Thursday night to do what I want.
It has been a challenge trying to juggle each week as to what needs to be done and what doesn't need to be done. Because we met online last week I didn't need to fill out anything in the discussion but I feel as though my views were not expressed accurately during the discussion time. I would like to see the async discussion happen each week. Maybe during the weeks that we are going to meet we could just have a simple discussion over a few questions that will get the ball rolling and maybe trigger more reactions during class time.
On the whole I think my online educational experience is going well. In the future I will give consideration to online classes. Before I would not think twice in taking an online class. It would have to be a blended class because I do miss the lectures and verbal discussions each week.
