View on K-12 Online Learning

What Is My View On K-12 Online Learning?

It is the future. 

I feel that with the speed at which technology is growing, to assume that education will remain the way it once was is ignorant. Children today are introduced to technology at such a young age, often times before they reach school-age. With that said, technology has become the learned way to access and share information. Having students sit in a classroom and be "lectured" will ultimately not hold their attention, as it once did for generations before.

With the option of K-12 Online Learning, or at least some sort of technological component, future teachers can reach out to the varying needs of their future students. We are talking about a total shift in the way we view the education system. The change is going to take time, but it WILL happen.

LMS Content Flow and Organizaiton

LMS Content Flow and Organization

This was my first time using Google Draw. I chose to create the above "drawing" using a Google tool, since my LMS is Google Classroom; the connection seemed fitting.

Since my LMS is pretty simple, especially because it isn't connected to a specific content area, I wanted to keep my drawing simple. The four areas that I chose to focus on were (as seen above) LMS Platform, Content, Teacher Input, and Student Output. I found that these four areas make up a majority of what an LMS is.

I briefly described either what each are, or how each will be utilized through my LMS.

I expect that more would be added to each of the four sections as I continue to use the LMS, and more sections would be added as well.

I found this exercise helpful, as it promotes organization for the creation of the LMS. It may have even been a better idea to do this first.
