The school year had already stared back in 2011, when I was
hired as a Media and Technology teacher at Burbank Middle School; so far it has
been a good and positive change from my career as a Mathematics teacher. The first
months as a Media teacher. I had to focus on classroom management and learning
editing programs like Photo Shop to teach to my students.
This present year I am teaching three different grade levels
and I am teaching different computer programs. It has been a little
challenging trying to teach
so many things in so little time. Now that I been learning more and more about
Blended and Online courses, I have been spending many hours learning many new
tools that are available over the Internet.
In the next school year I am planning on changing or getting
better to organize all of my resources in a more effective way. There are times
that I spend or waste time on re-organizing my teaching resources.
I was not aware that LAUSD is already offering online
courses at a high school level, as I was browsing about it. I learned about the
different courses that they have been taught over the Internet. LAUSD is
offering intervention courses, in different subjects as well as advance courses
in Mathematics such as Calculus. Those courses are at high school level.
I wonder if LAUSD is planning on extending their online
courses to the middle school students.
Another area of improvement to better support my students in
an online environment, it will be to learn to use all of the features of a
learning management system and the use of the proper technological resources
available to facilitate students’ success.
I personally want to learn the technical aspect of the
online environment; I would like to learn to fix the technical problems that
might arise while teaching an online course.
