This week, I had to move class online because Audra was sick. Such is the life of a working mom! I'm thankful that my students were ok with me moving class online! Also, I had a guest speaker planned for class but, we were able to rearrange that to last night (Sunday).
I met Toby through at EdCampOmaha last March. He is a PhD student at OSU. I thought that he would be the perfect person to help talk to my students about using social media NOW and in the future. Toby talked about the benefits of being a connected educator and students were able to ask him questions during the hangout. The students have had such great questions that instead of focusing on digital citizenship next week, I am going to change course a little bit and talk more about the power of social networking for educators. I think it will better meet their needs right now but, I need to figure out a way to work more digital citizenship into the week as well. Perhaps more responsible use for teachers and how to represent yourself online would be appropriate.
Teaching this class is a challennge but I am thoroughly enjoying it!
