My learning philosophy has shifted from a in person, stand in front of the class leading discussions to creating an environment for digital learning that is accessible and completely understood by anyone who takes my course. This shift has been changing slowly but now it is thrusted in the forefront. My goal is to get every student engaged in this new learning environment and to have every student to not be afraid to ask questions and to be able to seek answers either to me or digitally online. This will create a classroom of learners who are almost self sufficient and will have them prepared to take this experience to the next level in college or whatever medium they choose to further their education.
Getting each student to be resourceful and proficient with using the technology is essential. In the learning medium Schoology that Fort Bend ISD employs, the teacher must post instructions on how to access the curriculum along with how to access all of the tools necessary for their success and learning. This is a lesson all by itself. After getting the student acclimated to the environment, only then will the teacher be able to begin delivering instruction on the content to jump start learning. All forms of deliverables and media can be used to assess student learning and understanding of the curriculum.
