About D100 – Teaching in a Digital Environment

Teaching in a digital learning environment is different, but the principles of effective teaching are not. Teachers can still maintain the teaching practices or pedagogy they want, if they understand how to teach online.

That’s what this course is about. It provides an understanding of the key elements of effective tools and effective online teaching practices, provides guidance on how to engage students and parents, and how to assess real learning.

This course will help teachers:

• evaluate their own level of digital competency
• understand and recognize the common obstacles every teacher faces in becoming an effective online instructor
• quickly assess any of the myriad tools that are available on the Internet
• understand the important differences between synchronous and asynchronous learning and when and how to use them
• focus down on what they want to teach and want their students to learn even though they won’t be sharing the same physical space everyday

Becoming a good teacher in a digital environment doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a learning experience. With the strategies and best practices contained in this course, you have a head-start.

Please note: The course is self-paced. CEU credits are available if your school administrator or district administration grants credit for the work done. The clock hours designed into the course are 12. Each person must ask their principal or district administrator whether they will accept the work for credit when reporting credit work to the district. You can provide the certificate that is available after you have finished the course as proof of completion.
