    You mention an important point about future research needing to focus motivational influences and their impact in the online environment, Sharee. After all of the research is done to analyze the differences in graduation rates in online schools as compared to non-online schools, the most important impact would be realized if further studies were performed to investigate the factors influencing students to drop out or complete school. With the data starting to show that completion rates are actually falling as enrollment increases in online settings, this information could help to reverse this trend if it could be used to train and education teachers in order to better serve the students. As we move forward in the development of online education and its implementation in K-12 settings, I agree that educators are going to have to reflect on their role in motivating students in different ways and being innovative in order to prepare them for success.

    I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

    I think this was the perfect way to end our collaborative research. We worked really hard on this and it would be very exciting to actually complete this research. I am very interested to learn how we could make improvements to K-12 online education in order to see fewer students dropping out. I definitely agree that professional development is highly important to pre-service and in-service teachers so they do understand what is at stake in being an online teacher. Maybe this could be the next step after completing research and seeing trends, developing a PD course that helps prepare teachers for an online teaching position. Thanks for a great 8 weeks! All the best!

EDUC 639 The muddiest points

Hey Team, http://youtu.be/qMxPNFiQJsU?hd=1 Update: The muddiest points: Modern Piracy is taking the intellectual work of others. The ease of access to information online and the fair use act which allows for published works to be accessed freely make it difficult to protect all the intellectual property rights of others (Huthwaite & Thomas, 2013). I personally do not want my identity stolen, and that goes for my work as well. That is why I continue to improve my study habits, note taking skills and even how and where I store information on my computer in order to avoid plagiarism. Previously, Sorry this is being posted a bit late, we have a ton of work and some major issues happening with our internet service provider. I digress. I am humbled that I am able to have access to the internet in a rural area in Mexico. I am so excited about our literature review, I have completed 4 pages and references, and I am working on the 5 wiki questions. My video is taking exc

Diverse learning tools

Technology has changed how students receive professional academic help through distance tutoring. As a tutor online , I am able to use screen sharing with Camtasia 9, have live streaming video on skype  and utilize a white board with my student one-on-one. This technology allows both the student and I to learn comfortably in our own spaces and we can submit work to be easily assessed for grammar, spelling, word choice, and content flow using Google Docs for collaboration efforts (Clifford, 2016). I am living in Mexico. Thus, I am a diverse learner myself. For the majority of my day I listen to Spanish speakers and need to interpret the majority of what I hear using body language, expression and movement. My limited Spanish understanding has enhanced the way I communicate. To learn, I use a number of free apps on my Ipad , such as Duolingo , FluentU and Babbel .   I learn to adapt and find creative ways to communicate which I believe supports the learners I teach. In teaching an

Take Away and Lesson Objectives

                                         My Learning Objectives and Course Take-Away’s My learning objectives were to: ·                  Work in collaboration with my peers and demonstrate my ability to use internal and socially negotiated dialogue to develop the ISD Project. The social interaction required of this project was necessary to develop a deeper understanding of professional development training and promote critical thinking skills while working as a team. ·                    I had to learn to take social responsibility within the group in order to fulfill my obligations and meet the team expectations, while at the same time recognizing we were working as constructivist developers, in which our own experiences and world-views factored into the outcome of this instructional design project. o    For example: I asked the team during our first meeting to construct a mission statement, it helped us all aim for the same target and define our goals. This was not requ
