This came across my reader and I think it says everything that we have been discussing in the class.  The article basically states that the state standards are too wordy and everything is considered important.  SO True.!!!!  THere is TOO much for teachers to try to teach, to every child in an individual way.

Big Question : Just how much did a person learn (retain) from an online class?

You know the fear and humilation the beginning of this class, in retrospect, was not that bad.  We didn’t have a clue what we were doing… kinda like outpost.  If people were not there to help us then we would quit.  I am liking it more and more.  I can honestly see why people have [...]

As teachers, we have been in both positions.  AS a learner, I have sta in classes which bored the life out of me but as a teacher, i know the content had to be covered.  This goes back to the idea that teachers how they were taught.  Now, that new teachers are learning new ‘modern’ [...]
