An interesting counterpoint to the idea that "good" tech is easy to use...

Inspired by #mnsummit2018 & @mrskelsjohn, I've started building a wakelet (i.e. 'more professional pinterest') with collections of (hopefully) useful information about online distance education. Feel free to add, share, and discuss!

@pazureka Thanks @pazureka! That was a new experience and I'm already thinking about ways to use it in courses :) #DistanceEdChat

[Jessamina Blum @jessaminab6]

@chloestrix That sounds like an awesome course! #DistanceEdChat

[Jessamina Blum @jessaminab6]

@ggyang02 @pazureka Seeing how others are effectively implementing distance education is a great idea! Far too often we needlessly 'reinvent the wheel' in academia. #DistanceEdChat

[Jessamina Blum @jessaminab6]

@pazureka A10: I've already signed up for a seminar on Multicultural Inclusive Learning and Teaching in online environments. I also plan on taking more courses, attending conferences, actually TRYING these methods in an online course, and training others in these methods #DistanceEdChat

[Jessamina Blum @jessaminab6]

@jgrambsch @pazureka Awesome! If you're interested in training science faculty, we should talk! #DistanceEdChat

[Jessamina Blum @jessaminab6]

@pazureka Absolutely!! I have a thousand ideas but need to learn the methods to use to ask and answer the questions :)
