REFLECTION
The Durington and Siemens resouces gave great insight into how to effectively structure and maintain an online learning enviornment. I believe that a great deal of the information can be transferred to the F2F classroom setting, as well. For example, Durrington (2006), et. al, spoke of our intonation when we communicate with students via email, and through the web. In a brick and mortar setting, educators sh0uld also be mindful of their tones when communicating with student's parents/guardians via email or other non F2F communications. Furthermore, classroom wikis and blogs can be utilized in a traditional classroom setting. This gives the student opportunitiesto express themselves verbally in a modern digitized format that so many of then have become accustomed. This tool is especially helpful for the introverted students who may be slow to ask questions or espress themselves openly in a F2F enviornment.
