Flat Classrooms Cont.

We just finished our first PODetc course Introduction to Instructional Technology in the Classroom. It was a blast! One of the things that I was reflecting on is how online courses have the potential to flatten classrooms. I felt more connected to my students in this course than I often do in face-to-face environments where I am an instructor.

The instructors became co-learners with students and we tackled different issues related to the ISTE NETS standards for students. It was fun to see knowledge distributed and constructed between all of us.

We start a new section on Monday and I can't wait to start the process again. You can find out more about our PODetc courses by visiting our website at http://www.podetc.com/PODetc/Course_Catalog.html.
