Day 5 Reflection: A picture of my classroom

While officially my titles are the high school library media specialist and IB Dp coordinator, I also teach library science, Theory of Knowledge (IB Core) and an online European Lit and Comp for 11th grade students with schedule conflicts. In order to complete the duties I am assigned, I began using blended instruction several years ago, with Moodle as my learning platform. Every year I continue to refine the online environment as I become more aware of the pedagogy of online instruction and strive to create an inclusive environment for students with disabilities.

Library Science Course

European Lit and Comp Course

I see progress from my first course creations in how I use the assignment options and lead students through expectations with weekly agendas. What I would like to see is a better theme choice, with more images and recorded readings. As we were 1:1 with iPads last year, I did not create audio to accompany text. Instead I worked with students to use the assistive features built in to the iPad, especially in regard to reading text. This year it will be a challenge to create audio files for instructions and assignments.
