Hi Elena, I enjoyed reading your post this week. I appreciate how you highlighted the importance of adaptability and modifications in teaching. I relate to your experience with your teacher using the whiteboard to help you visualize numbers. I had a similar experience in school where teachers provided me with transcripts of videos because it’s easier for me to learn by reading vs. listening. I agree that when your in an online course its fairly obvious to tell which teachers have strong digital literacy skills and those who do not. Those that do have those skills are often the most effective teachers.

I think it’s also great how you highlighted the importance of creating an inclusive online environment. People often like to hide behind their screens and share hate, so it’s refreshing to hear that there are students out there that are promoting positive contributions in digital spaces. Thanks for sharing!

Your point on project-based learning resonates with me; in my experience, having the ability to actively apply concepts in learning promotes critical thinking and understanding. This highlights the importance of actively developing knowledge instead of being a passive recipient. I appreciated how you broke down some qualities that are important for online instructors. I’ve had experiences where these qualities were utilized, and when they were ignored, in my opinion, the best online teachers have all these skills. I also like how you highlighted the benefits and challenges of digital environments. In your opinion, do you think the benefits outweigh the challenges or vice versa?
