ITEC 7480, Introduction to Online Learning, has been one of the most impactful classes I have taken in my graduate class experience. Not only did this class start opening my eyes to what online learning truly is but it also made me put my technology skills from previous classes to work. Prior to this class I didn’t have much of an idea of what I would want to do with an Instructional Technology degree besides be a Technology Coach at a school. Prior to this class I also thought being an online teacher was easy and that they didn’t have to do much compared to a traditional classroom teacher. This course showed me that my thought process was wrong. In this course learned the duties and the everyday life of an online learning teacher. I learned how similar creating lessons, using rubrics, giving feedback, communication with students, and engagement with students was compare to the traditional classroom. This course pushed me to use classroom skills I already had and use those skills to create online modules. I had to think outside of my comfort zone and really get the mindset of an elementary student taking a course online and create modules that were engaging and meet the same standards and objectives that my traditional students have to meet. I would like to thank Dr. Vega for opening me up to something new that I could do with my upcoming degree and for really sparking my interest and making me want to pursue my online teaching endorsement.
