Trying on-line class because…
If I can teach an on-line class well, it will significantly enhance my face-to-face teaching

Challenges teaching face-to-face classes
#1 Emotional investment
Thinking: not evolutionarily advantageous (thus, to be avoided)
Puzzle-solving: evolutionarily advantageous (& fun)
Need to find engaging problems for students instead of trying to convince them to think
![Page 11: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Poll 1 Students' Priorities
What priorities do you think your students have in your class?
![Page 12: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What solvable, relevant problems do your students face in their lives?
•Not looking/feeling stupid•Getting grades they want•Managing workload (academic & jobs)•Managing stress•Family•Securing their future•Getting enough sleep•Having a social life
Need to find engaging problems for our students instead of trying to convince them to think
![Page 13: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Challenges teaching face-to-face classes
2. Students will resist change (we all do)•For good evolutionary reasons•Change brings risk
![Page 14: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Change = Danger
![Page 15: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Challenges teaching face-to-face classes
(3) Students will have a difficult time learning new skills of reading difficult material, writing & thinking about new things.

Poll 4 Teacher Comfort
How long did it take for you to feel comfortable as a teacher?
![Page 19: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Challenges teaching face-to-face classes
(4) Students may very well view challenges or mistakes as evidence that they are incapable of learning
![Page 20: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Poll 6 Novice Participation
How likely are you to participate in activities (outside of the classroom) when you are a rank novice in the activity?
![Page 21: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Challenges teaching face-to-face classes
(5) Making sure students learn what I want them to learn & then transfer that learning outside of the classroom“By the third grade, when students are asked to complete the sentence, Learning is…’, their most common answer is boring” — Theo Dawson, (http://theodawson.net)
![Page 22: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What do my students learn in classes?
![Page 23: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
…Understand where the students are coming from
…Take seriously their vulnerability when learning new things
…Understand I am asking students to do difficult and scary things
…Understand that their missteps and emotional responses are reasonable response to the situation they find themselves in
The learning experience will be a better one if I…
![Page 24: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Poll 6 Admit Ignorance, Fear
How likely are you to admit to your class ignorance about the topic at hand, concern about the progress of the course or trepidation about a new assignment/technique?
![Page 25: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Strategies for addressing these challenges in face-to-face classes
- Spend time prior to class chatting with students
- Be my goofy self
- Move around the class a good deal
- Put students into groups
- Interact one-on-one with students (both in class & in their on-line journals)
![Page 26: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Strategies for addressing these challenges in face-to-face classes
- “Read” students’ body language and faces
- Joke around with students
- Learn about students’ lives outside of class through conversation
![Page 27: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Challenges of on-line courses
(Face-to-face challenges)
![Page 28: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
And then the real challenges
•Same challenges students face learning new skills since I’m venturing into new territoryI will- Be vulnerable- Make mistakes - Provide evidence that I don’t really know how to teach or what I’m doing
![Page 29: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
And then the real challenges
Learning new skillsI will- Not be entirely successful the first (second or third) time
- Improve, then drop in ability before I improve again
- Need time to improve
- Be inclined to fall back on old strategies that are unlikely to work in this environment — and so I’ll panic
![Page 30: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Deepest Fears
- To the extent that I’m a good teacher it’s because I am able to connect with my students
- Students will be very able to ‘tune out’ the on-line class in a way that is much more difficult in a f-f class
![Page 31: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Deepest Fears
- It will become clear that I am not a good teacher
- My colleagues and students will think less of me

STOP!We're Back!Let's continue...
![Page 39: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Personal strategies for dealing with most pressing issues
•Lower expectations of success (mine and my colleagues)
•Constantly remind myself that mistakes are “opportunities”•“mistakes are our friends”•“what can I learn about teaching and learning from this experience?”
![Page 40: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Personal strategies for dealing with most pressing issues
•Find ways to connect in on-line environment
•Make it difficult for students to ‘tune out’ or tune in ‘just enough’ but not so much as to learn
![Page 41: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Poll 7 Teaching Practice
With enough practice, just about anyone can become a good teacher...
![Page 42: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Possible institutional strategies
•Require mistakes of instructors
•On-going substantial emotional support
•Give instructors opportunities to try and fail at low cost ventures (intramural softball, music lessons, cooking classes, etc)
•Workshops about how to help students learn to risk stumbles in order to ultimately progress
•Atmosphere of trust

What ‘easter eggs’ can we provide for students?
Why do students spend hours on Facebook? What are they doing?
How can we recruit this interest to aid in on-line (and off-line) classes?
![Page 48: $Tltj mc9pm20111021](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d3300d8b42a90748b5210/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
What opportunities does on-line environment provide?
— Massive amounts of stuff (academic, popular, etc.)
— Opportunities to work together in a very different way
— Distractions (how to harness this for good instead of evil?)
