State of Online Learning in K-12 in TexasThe State of Texas has been an active supporter of virtual education in K-12, forming the Texas Virtual School Network (TxVSN) in 2007 "to provide Texas students with equitable access to quality, online courses" (TEA, n.d.). Please review this brief article about the TxVSN. Please note the following requirements for teaching online in the state of Texas: "TxVSN courses are taught by teachers who are Texas-certified in the content area and grade level of the course or meet the credentialing requirements of the associated institution of higher education and are trained in best practices in delivering online instruction" (TEA, n.d.).
What are the characteristics of classes offered through the TxVSN? Please view this movie about the TxVSN to get a better idea of online learning in Texas. More information about the TxVSN can be found on their site: http://www.txvsn.org/portal/ Please take the time to scan the information available about this organization.
The International Association for K-12 Online Learning (iNACOL)iNACOL works to ensure that all students are able to earn a high-quality education through effective blended and online learning. TxVSN requires that institutions who prepare the online learning in Texas meet iNACOL standards. The website for iNACOL will provide more information about the standards they recommend. Please look over the materials from their website before meeting in Collaborate.
SlideShare Set up a basic SlideShare account. We will be using it in Collaborate. It is pretty fast to set up so try to do this before class.
The rough story is included in the SlideShare presentation below. We will work together in Collaborate to develop one presentation per group. Please familiarize yourself with the materials before class, but you DO NOT have to work on it before class. This will be a group project.
Chapter Review Read the next chapter of your textbook and provide a very brief summary of the chapter on your wiki.
Update your Copyright PowerPoint Presentation Now that you studied the first three chapters of the textbook, I want you to apply what you have learned. In my experience, those teachers who have worked through the text and apply the concepts are able to build powerful presentations. This week you are going to take what you have learned thus far and re-do your presentation for the first time. Once you have remodeled your original PPT, then write a 2-3 sentence explanation of what you changed. Upload this second PPT to your wiki in the appropriate week.
While this might seem like an easy week for you - you have all been quite busy thus far. I want you to take this week to really reflect on what you have learned and to really focus on preparing an improved PowerPoint. I look forward to seeing what you all create!
