This lesson takes a look at the narrative lesson we had in the Designing Online Lessons module. In a thorough post (300+ words), take one of the "big ideas" below and think of a creative personal anecdote that illustrates that point. Your goal is to use a combination of the narrative structures and stylistic techniques that we saw in our lesson to bring about an anecdote that illustrates the big idea effectively.
<br/><br/>Big Ideas:
<br/><br/> Technology creates more problems than it solves
<br/> Children are wiser than adults
<br/> Hope is a powerful force
<br/> We are not prepared for the rapid changes that are happening in our economy
<br/> What students "ought to learn" is open for debate
<br/>

For this forum, you will need to share either 1) the instructional unit that you made, or 2) the instructional lesson that you made. You will do so by creating a post with the link to the item, as well as any login information that is required. If no login info is required, just state so in your post.
<br/><br/>Note: This is the submission step for Assignment #2 in the course; if you do not provide the necessary login information to access the content here, then you will not be able to complete that assignment.
<br/><br/>After doing so, identify:
<br/><br/>1. What is your target audience for the instructional item that you created? (Age/grade/subject/etc)
<br/>2. What are the objectives for the instructional item (what did you want students to learn)?
<br/>3. What is one question that you would like fellow teachers to answer?
<br/><br/><br/>THEN:
<br/><br/>You will view one other participants' submission and respond to #3 above, giving your advice. on that. Do so by clicking the appropriate reply link for that person's post.

This post will utilize the lessons that we looked at in the facilitation module. For this post, you need to do the following:
<br/><br/>1. Create a negative statement that a teacher would be tempted to use through virtual communication to a student.
<br/><br/>2. Create a needs/benefits statement that changes the negative statement in #1 into a positive.
<br/><br/>3. Create a "complaint" that a student would be sharing with you in a virtual class (or the virtual portion of a blended class). This can be real or imagined, but would be something that require an empathy statement.
<br/><br/>4. Create an empathy statement response to #3. Remember to include all 5 parts of an empathy statement.

Using the information we looked at in our facilitation module, create a moderate post (150-300 words) for the following topic:
<br/><br/>Pick ONE of the following scenarios:
<br/><br/><br/>1. Angie has not been participating very regularly in your class. She has not been contributing to forum posts and has been turning in homework late. After a couple of efforts to visit with her without success, she finally approaches you about an extension. She mentioned that it has been very difficult to get on a computer because she has no access at home and can't stay too late at school. While normally this would be something that you would emphasize with, you are having some doubts as the records show she has accessed it late at night.
<br/><br/>What would you say to her?
<br/><br/>2. Sarah and Brian are in a group together for a project. Sarah is very conscious about her grade in the class and is desperately trying to get the group project finished. However, each participant must contribute, and as of yet, Brian has not contributed. She has complained to you about Brian's lack of effort.
<br/><br/>Brian, on the other hand, mentions that the last group project did not work out well at all. Every suggestion that he had, Sarah basically turned down. Sarah ended up doing her own work anyways. Brian feels as though he can't make a contribution to the group.
<br/><br/>What would you say to Brian and Sarah?
<br/><br/>3. With your class of adult students, Caleb has been very open on different forums. However, he has told some personal stories where he has made some derogatory references to women. He seems unaware that they are derogatory, but while other participants have not said anything directly to you, you notice a sudden end to the discussion thread every time he contributes.
<br/><br/>What would you say to him?
