CRB/FEH Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey Comments 2004– 2005 School Year 1. What are the strengths of distance Learning? ______________________________________________________________________ Involving students who would normally not get these opportunities. ______________________________________________________________________ It allows students and districts to share scarce resources. ______________________________________________________________________ It greatly increases the class offerings and there are many things that you can do ___________________________________ and show with the equipment. ______________________________________________________________________ Being able to allow “atypical” courses to a variety of schools and students. ______________________________________________________________________ The diversity of the students, the difference between locations was always embraced ___________________________________ as a refreshing change from my students here. ______________________________________________________________________ Interaction and competition between students (using) the most advanced technology ___________________________________ schools have to offer. ______________________________________________________________________ The Elmo technology is excellent for pictures and notes. The DVD and VCR capabilities. ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality. Access. Support
CRB/FEH Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey Comments 2004– 2005 School Year 2. What are the weaknesses of Distance Learning? Getting all schools to be coordinated to start and end on time. It is hard with three ___________________________________ classes on DL to keep up with three different schedules. ______________________________________________________________________ Technology in my DL room is antiquated, we need laptops, wireless Internet ___________________________________ connection, etc. ______________________________________________________________________ Not being in the room with students makes it difficult to do hands-on projects. ___________________________________ Distance makes it hard to visit. ______________________________________________________________________ Snow days, hourly delays, class meetings and other school interruptions can cause ___________________________________ more problems than in a traditional class. ______________________________________________________________________ [It can be difficult to make] time to receive and return homework quizzes and tests. ______________________________________________________________________ [It is] sometimes [difficult] disciplining a student for not paying attention or working ___________________________________ on other material. It doesn’t work when schools fail to comply with the expectations of ___________________________________ the system. One student was asked to be removed by me but was placed back [in my ___________________________________ class] because they needed the credit to graduate. Behavior improved but was still an ___________________________________ issue throughout the year. ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality.

What changes would you suggest for distance learning classes? ___________________________________ Deal more effectively with noisy heating units. It is difficult to hear students from ___________________________________ other sites. ______________________________________________________________________ I would like computer access at the teacher’s desk in our room. ______________________________________________________________________ Tighter requirements and prerequisites for students to enroll. Aides [should] not be on ___________________________________ a first name basis with students. ______________________________________________________________________ It went much better when working with a school that had [an aide] who stayed with ___________________________________ the room most of the day. ______________________________________________________________________ More should be done to coordinate school policies on such issues as allowable add___________________________________ drop cut-off dates, marking period and grade submission dates. ______________________________________________________________________ Computer stations in each student desk. ______________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality.

Are there any outcomes from teaching this course that you had not expected? ___________________________________ Students actually “getting along” and being friendly between schools. ______________________________________________________________________ It has been great getting to know other students and faculty from other NY areas. ______________________________________________________________________ Travel time was an unexpected outcome and obstacle sometimes. ______________________________________________________________________ We get a good cross section of students and schools. ______________________________________________________________________ Students began highly motivated, I think, because of the delivery medium. By the end ___________________________________ of the year however, the novelty wore off. ______________________________________________________________________ I___________________________________ found it interesting that students from the other schools often did better than the ones in my own. It let me know that I probably did a good job of not favoring the ___________________________________ students in my own school. ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality.
