11th Week

This week was very productive for me.

At the end, I was able to submit my class wiki and respond to one my friend's class wiki item.  I never used wiki before. I am very happy to learn it.

This week I also finished the analysis of my PLN network and created an image of my PLN.

I loved the idea of Mind MAP. I think each faculty members should have such a mind map and should share with each other. I think it will be very beneficial to everyone.

I have registered to a webinar on April 9 and I am looking forward to it.

10th Week

This week I complete the presentation for Virtual Team Project. I think we are in the right direction with this project.

We now need to work on voice thread. I am excited that I will be learning something new. I did not use voice thread before. I watched a trial video about it and it looks great. I especially like the idea that each person's picture and sound comes for different slides.

I will share this tool with my faculty at school. I think students can easily create projects using voice thread.

9th Week

This week I continued to work on my Virtual Team project and read different resources from my professional learning network.  It was a busy week for me but still productive.

I like the idea of Mind MAP very much. I am excited to start working on it also.

I think our Virtual Team Project will end up with a great product when it is over. I believe it will be very helpful to those who look at it.

8th Week

Hello everyone,

This week I did Skype with my team members on our virtual project.

I also worked on my word processing assignment and submitted it.

I enjoyed the assignment as it covered many relevant aspects of what we are doing at schools.

With the Virtual Team Project, Professional Learning Network and Productivity tools, this class is becoming very helpful in very many ways.

Happy to learn new things every week.

Sincerely,
Kenan Sener

7th Week

This week I submitted my request to login wiki and also I worked on the virtual team project.

I truly enjoy our virtual team project as it is very relevant today's education issues.

Last year at our school we organized cyber school day to continue learning during snow days.

Channel 2 made a news about our school for about two minutes.

Please see it here:

We are now working as a team virally on online education and I think the end product will be helpful to everyone.

Have a great week.

6th Week - Podcast Entry

5th Week

Hello,

This is the 5th week.

We have come up with an amazing Virtual Team group project with my team members this week. 

Based on our survey results, there is common administrative and faculty uncertainty/questions regarding the use of virtual/online classes. Our project would focus on the delivery of information regarding virtual/online/cloud-based classes from a K-12 perspective. We will address & answer questions relative to the following:

1.     How will such a learning environment look (on a large scale) from the perspective of both faculty and administration?

2.     Is there a recognized leader (specific school, district, state) in high school that is pioneering this type of learning environment?

3.     What are the primary driver(s) that lead to the employment of this type of learning environment? 

4.     What are the major successes/failures/lessons learned regarding development from a systems standpoint (inputs, processes, outputs, feedback)?

5.     What does the future hold regarding this type of system (will it die, will it remain an integrated part of the traditional system, will it become co-equal with the traditional setting, or will economic/financial difficulties force it to become the primary mode of educational delivery)?

I am very excited about this project as it certainly relate what I try to achieve at my own school.
