Like any profession, I believe that continuous education is the best way to keep on top of the latest issues facing educators. Collaborating with other instructors, I can further my knowledge and learning through group wisdom.
Attending conferences, seminars and flex days were the avenues to meet minimum requirements for fulltime teaching.
I have taken various @One classes including POCR and working to obtain certification on Online Teaching & Design and Advanced Certificate in Online Teaching Principles. These classes are really helping me to design my classes better and prepare me to assist my students to my full ability.
Through participation in online math instructor forum, I am keeping abreast with issues developing in online education. I am planning to attend various annual conferences to learn about new tools that can help me to support my students.
Besides being part of various online communities, I would like to attend the annual conferences every year to keep my self abreast of the new tools and features that can make my class better. Below is the list of conferences which I am planning to attend regularly.
