I currently have a lesson planned in which I am going to try some different things to survey may students on student engagement. I am going to use a website that will enable my students to participate by using an applet to show the slope and y intercept of a linear equation. I am also planning on having the students work in pairs to come up with ideas on how to graph linear equations. I am a little nervous about allowing them to chat together privately but I think it will be a great experiment to see how it goes.
I think one of the things that I am finding out is that as online teachers we have more barriers to get by to get our students engaged, however the online component of a class itself can be engaging because it is out of the ordinary and may allow students to focus without an outside distractions. However, I think it could do the opposite because of all the distractions one could pick up while working online. :)
I am learning some new things and I am enjoying all of the conversations that people are discussing.
