HFM SAN Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey Comments 2009 – 2010 School Year 1. What are the strengths of distance Learning? ___________________________________ For any visual or technological projects the large screen format in Indian lake’s DL ___________________________________ room is great! ______________________________________________________________________ Great equipment and access to technology. ______________________________________________________________________ Uses resources cooperatively. Allows new students in the class. ______________________________________________________________________ Teaching classes that other schools can’t offer as well as receiving classes that ___________________________________ enhance local district programs. ______________________________________________________________________ Certainly bringing students together from other districts is beneficial. ______________________________________________________________________ It offers more opportunities for students that don’t always have opportunities ___________________________________ especially in small schools. ______________________________________________________________________ My students and I are able to be exposed to students outside of our system. ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . .

HFM SAN Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey Comments 2009 – 2010 School Year 2. What are the weaknesses of Distance Learning? If the aides are not organized or have trouble with the computer or fax it can be ___________________________________ difficult. ______________________________________________________________________ Lengthy daily waiting time due to class time differences at the other site. Thus a lot ___________________________________ of lost teaching time. ______________________________________________________________________ Not being able to look straight at students, having to monitor two separate groups of ___________________________________ kids when talking about delicate subjects, not having all kids in an activity that is ___________________________________ hands on, some of the students were immature for this sort of learning environment. ______________________________________________________________________ Often the material and issues explained were of a controversial, sensitive nature. Not ___________________________________ being able to see students at remote sites well and read their body language and ___________________________________ facial expressions affected the quality of and content of our discussions. ______________________________________________________________________ I found the set up of the DL to be a bit limiting for my natural teaching style. I was ___________________________________ challenged to adapt lessons that could be cooperative or project driven. The monitors ___________________________________ control the room set up. - LOST CLASS TIME!!! Students are missing classes too ___________________________________ frequently due to field trips and assemblies. The current DL contract is not being ___________________________________ adhered to in most schools. ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . .

HFM SAN Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey Comments 2009 – 2010 School Year 3. What changes would you suggest for distance learning classes? Make sure bell schedules are as close as possible. ______________________________________________________________________ All DL classrooms need their own high speed scanners (to cut down on wasted ___________________________________ paper, ) and an efficient method for exchanging papers. Also every DL needs a printer! ______________________________________________________________________ Students should have access to email when in a DL section. There should be a display ___________________________________ of laptop monitors for a teacher to supervise appropriate use of the laptops. It should ___________________________________ be standard that the TA's in the rooms are trained in classroom management. ______________________________________________________________________ More training about how to teach and less on the technical aspects. ______________________________________________________________________ More cameras. The ability to see each student better and consistently. ______________________________________________________________________ Better scheduling between schools and the cameras should zoom in on the students ___________________________________ who are speaking and hold the gaze. ______________________________________________________________________ TAs need to be trained on their responsibilities and administrators need to understand ___________________________________ that it is beneficial to have the same TA in the DL room all day otherwise lessons are ___________________________________ not ready on time and papers do not get to the host site in a reasonable time. ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . .

HFM SAN Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey Comments 2009 – 2010 School Year 4. Are there any outcomes from teaching this course that you had not expected? ______________________________________________________________________ I built an enormous blackboard page. ______________________________________________________________________ I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the students in Johnsburg and I wish that I was ___________________________________ able to spend more time with them in person. ______________________________________________________________________ Yes. It made me develop new and different teaching techniques that will make me a ___________________________________ more well-rounded educator. ______________________________________________________________________ My class was very self conscious about seeing themselves on camera. Maybe they ___________________________________ lacked the maturity at first. My local kids are freshmen, Minerva kids were juniors and ___________________________________ seniors. ______________________________________________________________________ I was surprised at how well the grade levels melded together in a course of higher ___________________________________ level literature. Some of the 9 th graders were outstanding, absolutely on par with the ___________________________________ 11 th graders. ______________________________________________________________________ The Need for disciplining or removing students from other sites! ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . .

Did you use any new instructional methods to effectively teach in the DL classroom? ___________________________________ Yes, computer software music theory program called Finale Note.

Point presentations option in my "traditional" ___________________________________ classes too. ______________________________________________________________________ Yes, I found myself using more visuals. ______________________________________________________________________ Varied delivery of notes, median, and lecture. ______________________________________________________________________ Nothing that I did not previously use in my regular classroom.

Did you use any other forms of communication with the students in addition to daily …. . . distance learning classroom instruction (such as e-mail or telephone)? With blackboard and email, I was able to discuss assignments receive assignments __________________________________ and interact with my students. - I email quite frequently. I would like to try blackboard ___________________________________ sometime. ______________________________________________________________________ No, my connecting site couldn’t have email set up for us to communicate with them. ______________________________________________________________________ I tried to encourage students to use my email to contact me out only one of them took ___________________________________ advantage of it. ______________________________________________________________________ Email and field trips to both schools for students. ______________________________________________________________________ I used email on occasion. I tried blackboard but it was another layer of work and was ___________________________________ difficult to maintain. ______________________________________________________________________ Fax, as students at remote schools do not have email addresses at school, and email ___________________________________ for most host site students. ______________________________________________________________________ I would like to have had access to email with ALL students. It helps for a more ___________________________________ expedient system of communication and feedback. Several students made use of email. ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . . Support Quality. Access

HFM SAN Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey Comments 2009 – 2010 School Year 7 B. What were the advantages / disadvantages to visiting your remote school(s)? ___________________________________ I visited my remote site once this year. The distance and timing would have required ___________________________________ a substitute in my other classes, something I try to keep to a minimum. ______________________________________________________________________ I feel such a visit would be advantageous but my schedule would not allow for it. ______________________________________________________________________ I visited twice. It helps build relationships among students and between student ___________________________________ and teacher. ______________________________________________________________________ I visited the sites once each this year. It gives me a chance to personally interact ___________________________________ and get to know them. I also took the class on a Saturday field trip to Cornell ___________________________________ University. ______________________________________________________________________ I visited St. Johnsville three times throughout the year and they came to Mayfield ___________________________________ once. It keeps tremendously for the kids to meet and get to know each other early. ___________________________________ They are more likely to talk and interact. ______________________________________________________________________ So far I have taken my class to Minerva once and that class has visited only once ___________________________________ also. I would like to get them together more often ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . . Support Quality. Access
