4. Successes
● The biggest success was expanding on Kidblog. I was
able to create an attractive theme and I am currently
using this Blog for my students to voice their opinions
on educational topics. Awesome tool!
● I have been able to develop a greater understanding of
21st Century tools in education.
5. Challenges
A minor challenge was finding relatable
educational “connections” on Linkedin. Other
challenges were having to create accounts for
the different online tools. It becomes
overwhelming having so many accounts,
usernames, passwords etc.
6. My take on online learning
● Provides access to your coursework and instructor 24/7
● Enables busy working teachers the convenience of learning at their own
pace
● After taking multiple online classes using Moodle the key is basically the
more you use it the easier it becomes. At the beginning of all Moodle
online classes there is a learning curve but with each log-in the site gets
easier to use.
7. Sharing of Projects

changes.
