Question 1: What is my reaction to this course overview?
Answer: As I read the overview I was thinking "What have I gotten myself into this time?" I always feel this way when I am not familiar about a new course, especially an online course that I have limited knowledge about. After I talked to a few of my colleagues who use blogs in their classes currently, I feel more at ease that I will also have other resourceful people in my building.
Question 2: How do you feel about a 100% constructivist and collaborative course like this?
Answer: I am always looking for new ways to help my students learn concepts, and I feel that this class will help me achieve that goal. I will plan to learn a great deal that I can then share with my colleagues. I believe that when the students a more hands-on with their learning it definitely makes a difference in what they retain and use when needed. I am looking forward to using everything I learn to create a different atmosphere in my classroom next school year.
Question 3: How do you feel about publishing your learning on wiki's and blogs?
Answer: I have always wanted to publish something, but I was a little uneasy about it. I hope that by the end of this course, I can publish on a regular basis. I feel that if I can do this, my math students will see the value and importance of writing in all subject areas.
