Online Student Reflective Report

The sources of websites are hard and sometimes impossible to find, looking at the web extension does declare somewhat of what the website is. Even in the cases where .gov or .edu is used, it does not always mean that the information will be superior to other sources. While it may seem like these sources have some kind of authority, nothing is stopping from them lying straight to someone’s face. The chapter says also to be careful of what a websites actual commercial use is.

Although most of the information available may be true, there are other indicators that the website may not have the most reliable information. There are no footnotes contained on any of the webpages, nor are there links to reliable sources of information. In fact, nearly all of the links on the site will redirect you to another page under the same domain. This, to me, is a good indicator that there are no other sources to justify that the information contained are from a quality source.

The article "Read-only participants: a case for student communication in online learning" by L. Nagel, A.S. Blignaut and J.C. Cronje, appears in Interactive Learning Environments. The article asserts that communication and active participation in online class increases the chance of the student’s success in an online class. Immediate feedback from peers and instructors and social interaction built into the online discussions contribute to learning (Collins, A., Brown, J.S., & Holum, A., 1991).

This website is a credible source for a couple of reasons. The first reason this is a credible source is because of the author, Paul Godfrey. This author is in a peer reviewed website which would make this author a credible source. Furthermore, the website and the article itself is peer reviewed which makes this a credible source.

However, the spoken word is not the only way in which we communicate; in schools it is important

This article titled “Read-only participants: a case for student communication in online classes” discussed the importance of communication in online courses as well as the reasons why students succeed or fail in these online courses.

To be specific, in the absence of the communication with their teachers, it is hard for the students to succeed in their learning. Healy, Block, and Judge (2014) states that online education limits the opportunity to share ideas, collaborate with others, and to communicate effectively. Communication with the teacher and other students is significant for a student because it is helpful to improve learning efficiency through asking question to the teacher, sharing ideas, and experience with each

For this weeks’ reflection, I would like to take a different approach about certain things. I presented my article this week which was about El Centro high school which was a super segregated high school in the sense that no rights or help were given to the Latinos students. Every time I read about these type of issues, it gets me super mad that we Latinos, especially undocumented are seen as objects to US society. For example, something that I learned this week is about the term “illegal” which it refers to something illegal like a law or object and, most the time they call us illegal aliens as if were some aliens from another planet. This week’s reading just helps me to realize even more that we live in a country that clearly don’t want our

Teaching is highly dependent on communication. This is made clear by Simonds and Cooper (2014) suggesting that teaching and learning is impossible without communicating, communication is inevitable in an educational environment. Outstanding teachers display effective communication, it is the basis of their teaching reputation as well as the basis of their rapport with students, parents, colleagues and others (Simonds and Cooper, 2014). “3.5 Use effective classroom communication” and “7.3 Engage with the parents/carers” (Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL), 2014) the two standards listed require the effective implementation of communication, highlighting that it is impossible to be a successful teacher in and out

There are many criteria that we can use to determine if the website is credible or not. The first and the most important

I am writing with regard to Research Assistant, Technical Staff or Technician (Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine) advertised on website. Please find attached my Curriculum Vita, which shows I have the necessary qualifications and experience in the workplace.

The traditional face-to-face classroom fosters a relationship between the students and teacher with their direct contact and interactions (Banna, 2014). This setting also provides for ease of communications, ease in completing group activities, and for the teacher to observe the student practicing the new skills. The information becomes richer because, the student feels the entire experience, not just hearing and seeing the material presented to them (Banna, 2014). The teacher can adapt their teaching style at that any moment if they see issues by how the student reacts during the class, which provides better results (Guest Contributor,

However, advocates of classroom learning believe the online method isolates the students from one another as well as their professor minimizing the overall value of taking the course. They also claim that students learn better when working together with their instructor and their fellow classmates. Students learn better when they are given the opportunity to ask questions, join in class discussions, and they move the process of learning forward through their participation. Face-to-face advocates firmly believe that this kind of interaction is not possible over the Internet; and for many types of education, e-learning will never meet the potential of live human interaction in the classroom. An article in the New York Times titled, “Second Thoughts on Online Education,” backs up the points made above. A recent research published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, comes to the conclusion; “A rush to online education

Effective communication creates a learning environment where students can learn according to their individual needs in a safe and accommodating environment. Think about your early childhood education (or your child’s early education), was it flexible to suit individual learning experiences or were children required to conform to the teacher’s methods of teaching? If you answered the latter, do you think the former would improve the quality of education? Pedagogues’ in all divisions of education should possess proficiency in different levels of communication, whether they are teaching primary or secondary students or university alumni, to be able to address a combination of the various age groups (colleagues, students, parents or

As a member of the city of Milwaukie’s Vision Action Committee, I feel my contribution to my community is substantial. Starting back in August of 2016 I began to meet with various individuals from the community, all of which wanted to see change for the better in Milwaukie. These people are men and women, old and young, lifelong Milwaukians and new residents, business owners and employees of an organization, or in my case a student. Coming from all walks of life we divested a few hours once a month to discuss and plan the future of Milwaukie. We started with a dream, a single question, what is the most ideal Milwaukie? This question, of course, is different for every person in that meeting, but that’s the point. In the beginning stages of the VAC we discussed this vision, our personal vision and eventually our collective vision. During this process we thought of four major pillars of life, those being planet, place, people, and prosperity. These pillars were our guiding principles that everything, one way or another had to come back to. Once our vision was set and our mission statement drafted we opened our work to the public by holding a town hall meeting. This town hall took place in November, nearly four months from the beginning of our endeavor. We left that meeting with great feedback and fantastic suggestions, as well as the notion that we still have a tremendous amount of work to complete. While our vision statement was liked and accepted by the masses the main
