Submit evidence of reflection on your individual teaching abilities. Include artifacts, evaluation feedback, your own reflections, e-portfolio links, professional growth plans and anything else that showcases introspection into strengths and weaknesses as an online educator.
My experience with teaching includes middle school math, science, and Algebra I. As I reflect on my teaching abilities, I look back over the thirteen years of lessons learned and accomplishments. One of the many lessons learned was the importance of integrating technology into teaching. So understanding this, I worked hard to incorporate technology and 21st century activities in teaching mathematics. This resulted in good teacher evaluations and always meeting and exceeding exceptions. Wanting to be the best teacher I could be, I began on the path of becoming national board certified teacher. This quest helped me to begin blended learning with my students. I was one of the first teachers in my school to structure a blended learning environment for my Algebra I students. We used Edmodo as an LMS to collaborate, communicate instructional materials and videos, have class discussions, and deliver and upload work. My strengths as an online educator have developed from my experience with the blended classroom and also my experience teaching a blended virtual graduate course. The best practice is the skill of providing feedback to online learners. Both students and adults benefit from effective feedback, and that skill develops with practice. The most growth that I have experienced is the change in my assessment practices. I adopted assessment strategies that allow students to reassess when they miss the mark. This has made a big difference is the success of my students.
