Kiruba,
Excellent job on your portfolio. You have very insightful reflections that you have recorded from your coursework. You have done an excellent job of engaging the content and making relevant applications and direct connections with your current and future work with students, teachers, and educators in general.
Your Hybrid Classroom Facilitation training is very well thought out. You have included a lot of helpful information in your presentation. Using a new setup can be intimidating for many teachers especially if it is different than how they were taught. I like that your training includes a time for each facilitator to rotate through the hands-on portion so they can experience, in a safe setting, how to set up and control the system.
Putting together the Go Bag is a clever idea to help with troubleshooting and ensure the teachers' success. Anything you can do to help them feel more confident will greatly enhance the likelihood that they have a more positive experience using the set up and communicating a more positive attitude for students.
Having a separate room for facilitators to "look in on" a teacher and students to observe how they are doing is a great idea. This allows you and other facilitators to observe teachers that are demonstrating strong teaching skills in a hybrid classroom setting without disrupting the learning process. Great idea!
Excellent job, Kiruba, in helping other educators see the value of hybrid learning and how it can be successfully done. I'm sure they were encouraged to try out some of the tips/tricks you shared along the way as well as investigate the hardware setup that you shared in your examples.
Keep up the GREAT work!
