Curso 2 de 5 em Specialization Virtual Teacher

Emerging technologies are quickly gaining momentum in the field of virtual K-12 instruction. In this course, we will explore how the latest trends in the use of technology affect student learning and engagement. What innovative learning spaces and tools are available to instructors? How can instructors best utilize free and open resources to more deeply engage students in their learning? What impact can the use of emerging technologies have on student retention and performance? We will discuss the possibilities and challenges of using technology in fully online environments, although many of the ideas can be applied to blended and traditional environments as well. Learners will compare and contrast tools for use in K-12 virtual instruction, as well as examine best practices for implementing and managing these tools. Upon completing this course, you will be able to: 1. Understand the role of technology in the distribution of content, the facilitation of collaborative activities, and the assessment of students, courses, and organizations. 2. Identify and evaluate existing and emerging technologies for their value in virtual course instruction and curriculum development. 3. Design and assess a learning activity that utilizes social learning tools. 4. Design and assess a learning activity or curricular program that uses game-based strategies and/or badges to deepen student engagement in virtual courses. 5. Research, critically evaluate, and employ open content in virtual education. 6. Debate the role of MOOCs in virtual K-12 education.

Hi everyone.

As you know, part of this course incorporates peer assessment.

So we wanted to take a few minutes to just chat a little bit about how you can best

strategize those assignments that you're submitting,

and how you can best review those that you read from other folks.

>> The peer assessment is a wonderful opportunity to evaluate your peers and

to share your philosophies on education.

Throughout the virtual teacher certificate program,

you will have different types of peer assessment activities.

One may be to evaluate a grade book.

Still another may be to create instructional feedback for a student.

Make sure you follow your instructor’s directions on

how to submit the peer assignment.

There are two phases of the peer assessment.

The first phase is a submission phase.

This is when you will actually access the assignment, complete it, and submit it.

It is very important that you follow the deadlines provided by your instructor.

That way, all of the assignments will go into the gigantic pile of the peer

assessments for them to be distributed out for review.

The next phase is the review phase.

In this phase you'll be assigned three evaluations from your peers to grade.

You will use the rubrics provided by your instructor and submit an evaluation.

>> Now when your thinking about submitting an assignment for peer review,

remember a few things.

First of all, use the rubric, it's your friend.

It really guides you in what's expected in the assignment, and

what you'll be graded on and reviewed by with your peers.

Second, really think about, how does the mithi assignment, both from a format

perspective, when you're thinking about the type of assignment or

the file that you're submitting and

the deadlines associated with the technology that you're using.

So you want to make sure that your reviewers have the assignment

in a format that they can view and that it's turned in on time so

that you get ample amount of feedback in the process.

And then finally, when you're preparing your assignment,

remember that your peers need as much information and

context as possible with the answers that you're providing.

So be detailed.

Give them information.

Help them give you the best kinds of information and feedback possible.

Review people.

Provide comments.

Associate scores if appropriate.

Directly align to what's in the rubric, and only what's in the rubric.

A couple guidelines for

the peer review will be to use the rubric provided by your instructor.

This will help ensure that every assignment is graded as

accurately as possible.

Use your professional judgment, and make sure to take into account different

educational philosophies, backgrounds and writing styles when you assess your peers.

>> Avoid marking or reviewing writing,

grammar, even language skills unless that is a clear element in the rubric.

The point of the assignment generally is to address how well the student

can apply the concepts in the course to a real life situation.

It's not necessarily about perfect writing and perfect grammar.

Like I said, unless it's part of the actual assignment.

And then finally, give the people that you are reviewing lots of feedback.

If you can, don't provide just a score, but give them some commentary so

that they can better understand why you've scored or ranked their various parts

of the assignment in the way that you have and that they can take that feedback and

implement that as they continue to apply those skills to their real lives.

>> One thing you can do is to make sure everyone follows the rubric in the course

and to make sure you take into consideration

the different educational philosophies, which other students may have.

Remember that we have set the peer assessment at a percentage

such that it will not make or break your final grade.

So thanks.

Please enjoy doing the peer assessment piece of this.

It should be a fun,

rewarding and exciting part of the course, not a stressful part of the course.

>> We hope you find that the peer activity to be a valuable and

enhancement to your MUCA courses
