WPP Part C
My goal is to implement an online experience into my class.
Surprise
My surprise was how easy it was to implement the pre/post test and movie/tutorial on Edline. I found Edline to be much more user friendly then I thought it was going to be. I was actually a little afraid of how to implement this lesson into my class but I figured if I didn’t just do it I would never get over my fear. It ended up being a pleasant surprise.
Bumps in the road
The only problem I had was I forgot to post the post test date correctly. I had the setting set correct for the pretest but did not do it for the post. The students were able to watch the movie because I did not have the movie/tutorial set up with selected dates or times. It was set to watch it whenever they wanted to and as many times as they wanted to watch it. The tests were not set up like this. The one thing I would revise is to make sure I set the dates and times correctly.
Delights
After I reset the dates for the post test I had them take it the next night. The next day in class we discussed about if they had any problems finding their way around, what they thought about the system and if they enjoyed doing this at home rather then school. All of them agreed they liked this new experience. A few days later I was handing out their usual paper/scantron tests and they sighed with disappointment. One student asked, why are we not taking this test like the last one online? They also suggested that we should do projects in class where they make tutorials and post them on Edline so they would also be able to learn from each other.
