During the class 5318 Instructional Design in Online Learning, I had the opportunity to design, create and evaluate the Blended Learning course. In 5389 class, Developing Effective Profesional Learning, in 5389 I had the opportunity to learn how to have an effective PL.

 

 These classes brought me significant challenges in understanding how to communicate and promote the need for effective and alternative PL  and use digital resources, such as creating a video and design an online course. During these eight weeks, they have been full of challenges, but they are full of dedication, perseverance, and heart. Reflecting on what I did in the last module and these eight weeks, I realized that my perspective had changed considerably. One of the challenges I had in my first classes was to acquire the habit of reading reflectively, and I think I have achieved it and love being motivated through reading. During these eight weeks, I read all the recommended reading. I have read a book Teaching in a Digital Age. Also, one of my purposes was to start reading before class and to do my discussions before class. I think I improved on the readings, I was ready for the course, and the discussions were on time to give feedback to my peers. Another critical point for success in these two classes is that I completed all my assignments on time and attended all classes. If I had any questions, I would watch the class video sent by the teachers again, or I would ask in the group with my classmates through GroupMe, text message, and zoom. Every week we had a conference to do projects together like the one Call the action.

 

 My 5389 team: 

• Leticia Cortes 

• Lola Gatlin 

• Stacie Perez

• Lorena Rodriguez

 

 My team 5318:

•  Brandy Dinkins 

• Christine Glenn

• Dricka King

• Jenny Howard

• Kristin Mahurin

 

 

 

 Every week through the Zoom application Lola, Stacie, Letty, and I clarified the work to be done, and thanks to them, these eight weeks in this class have passed very quickly, and thanks to their contributions, the work became more precise and more accessible for me.

 

 One of the challenges I had in class 5318 was creating videos with my voice. I am not a person who likes to make videos, and if you see them, you will realize how nervous I was; I think my voice even trembled, but I did it, and I feel happy with myself since every little step counts in these new challenges. 

 

Key contributions:

•  Every day, I checked GroupMe and text messages and helped my colleagues. 

• I gave feedback to my peers respectfully and constructively.

•  I read and reflected on all the feedback I received about my work.

•  I made the corrections that I received from my colleagues and teachers in the e-Portfolio. 

• I have attended all sessions of both classes.

•  I've read all the required readings, watched the videos for each class, and researched and reviewed other sources outside the course suggestions. 

• I Turn in all my assignments on time for both subjects, 5318 and 5389.

•  I reviewed all the discussions.

•  I also gave at least two comments to different colleagues in the discussion forum. 

• I have shared and learned with my work team. 

Supporting contributions:   

• Regularly during these eight weeks, we had conferences through the GoTo app. We were also in contact daily through GroupMe, where we discussed some readings and clarified doubts regarding the work. We were in constant communication and gave each other support.  And we also maintained communication through GroupMe when we had doubts, and we sent each other the works to give feedback. I am pleased with my two groups. I have learned a lot from them.

Areas to improve:  

• Have the discussions one day before each class.  

• Begin to create the drafts of each work and thus have time to be modified.  

• During the course, ask questions.   

• Do my tasks at least five days before the due date to share them with my colleagues and receive feedback and modify the work.   

• Again, I need to improve my APA citation form.
