Why today is my last day teaching online…

Quick Summary

• The measures of success are often wrong – learning experiences are far more important than a checklist of standards and objectives
• Relationships, connections, and networking are minimized in the rushed online world
• Differentiation and personalized learning is lost in the pre-created curricula and assembly line experience of most distance courses and MOOCs
• Motivation and engagement suffer through isolation – we’re seriously becoming ok with virtual science labs!?
• The subject matter (and the learners’ needs) should drive instructional strategies, not technology
