#ci5321 If you are looking for another good tool to use in distance ed, check out @KialoHQ a cool way to have learners share informed decisions, vote on ideas and see information visually represented

@pazureka @UMNews Crazy to think how much learning happened in three weeks! Looking forward to some fall coursework #cannotrememberthelasttimeisaidthat

A9: Creating courses for students where they can engage in experiences that cannot be replicated within the walls of a traditional school #DistanceEdChat

[Alex Townsend @MrATownsend]

A8: We must be better at knowing that online learning is not a fad. I heard a wondering last week about "Will our HS still be a brick and mortar school in fifty years?" I think that AR is the next step #DistanceEdChat

[Alex Townsend @MrATownsend]

A7: The teachers that I am working with, they have dove right in because they believe that students should be able to access information in a time and place that works best for them #DistanceEdChat

[Alex Townsend @MrATownsend]

A6: I think it depends on what definition you are using for distance education. I think that distance education works for some, but not each. We all have our own learning styles and modalities #DistanceEdChat

[Alex Townsend @MrATownsend]

A5: Relationships and community first, content second #DistanceEdChat

[Alex Townsend @MrATownsend]

A4: Advocate...it is easy to get lost in the distance education shuffle if you do not advocate for your needs. I know there are some online courses with 1000's of students, so there is no way that an instructor can support each #DistanceEdChat
