What are your expectations for this
program? What do you hope to accomplish?
June 18, 2012 marks
the end of the Online Learning Orientation course, a prerequisite to beginning
the Administration and Supervision Certification online program in August. During the past two weeks, I refreshed my
skills in online learning and was reminded of APA writing guidelines.
I expect to
learn volumes during this program. I am
looking forward to a rigorous, challenging and enlightening year, getting to
know my cohort colleagues, and learning together. I am expecting this program to stretch my
understanding of leadership and help me to grow into an effective leader. I hope to accomplish my goal of becoming a
knowledgeable, caring and nurturing administrator. This program is one step in the direction of
that goal.
Now that you have a good sense of the
types of online activities and the rhythms of an active participant, what steps
will you take to be successful in this program?
When
actively participating in a rigorous online program, the key to my success is
to stay organized and not fall behind.
Keeping a checklist of to-do items and their due dates helps to keep
track of every task that needs to be completed.
Setting aside time every day to log in and complete the course
activities and assignments will help me stay on top of deadlines. Keeping course materials, links and other
written assignments in an online folder (such as Dropbox) will help to stay
organized, as all documents will be accessible anytime, anywhere.
Where do you still need additional
support to be successful?
