Here Below you can check out the feedback (for one of our units) of one of the 16.000 students that last year took an online course with ITTT!
This unit was on managing classes. It was a broad survey. It included such elements as: eye contact, gesturing, grouping; attention-giving; instruction-giving; voice; seating arrangements; board work; classroom arrangement; using student names; teacher talk time and student talk time; establishing rapport [teacher to student and student to student]; and discipline. I learned quite a bit from this material except, again, some of the minutiae became a bit confusing. Overall, well presented and organized. However, the test above is a bit too precious for my likes: turns of logic vs. management relevancy . . . situations where dual responses are actually possible due to the overlapping nature of elements in the subsections to each chapter subset!! Sometimes, I would actually just prefer to write out full answers to questions . . the old fashioned way . . . rather than have to wrestle with minutiae to a degree that becomes self-sabotaging . . . and not self-bolstering. Intuitive answers are good and great . . . but the other stuff? The stuff that is not so intuitive . . . should be explained a little better??? It could just be that my headache is making it hard to think and not anything other than that!! The good news: I learned some new things. Back in the day when I taught Spanish, students were not supposed to correct other students' work. I am glad to see that is no longer the policy. Thank you.
