• It is an online class …
– We meet face-to-face for
orientation
– We then do our activities and
discussions online using
Angel as our management
system
– We do not meet at any
particular time, yet we “will
be connected.”

11. • This class’s main purpose is not to
teach about programs or technology
tools …
• It is about using technology as an
educational tool to enhance and
extend our classroom curriculum to
support student learning.
• It is about developing a relationship
with each other and learning from
each other.

12. • It’s about becoming a
facilitator of Learning
• Perhaps, it could be about
becoming a Teacher Leader
(Teacherpreneur – Barnett
Berry – Teaching 2030)
• It is about having an
experience with online
learning …
• Why?

is a
given
not a
debate.
