Standard 5

Evidence 1: [|Online history course created using Google Sites]. Rationale 1: This online course is a great example of my ability to manage a classroom in the digital environment. This online course covers the history unit that I teach in fifth grade. I broke the course up by topic, and included background information, activities, assignments, and discussions in each unit. While creating this course, I had to consider any issues that students may have, and then addressed them before they happened. This course also uses a lot of discussions as part of the learning process. I had to set up these discussions so that students would be able to use them successfully on their own in order to enhance learning. Managing an online classroom is definitely different than managing a traditional classroom. In an online classroom you need to teach the 21st century skills, especially digital citizenship, without face to face interactions. This course is evidence that I have the skills necessary to manage on online classroom.
