Significance of knowing the technology
Today and tomorrow are nothing but the evolution of yesterdays technology. Technology has made our lives easy. We are able to use more time of our days because technology makes our activities easier and completes them faster. In our distance learning its the basic building block by allowing use to interact with one another. We use computers that are obsolete but it allows us to be less behind the curve of technology. Technology makes multi tasking easier...

essential to communicate clear expectations
Professors need to provide simple and clear instructions
so that you minimize the possible issues that can occur in a distance learning environment. As a educator you have to know your learner, not all learners adapt to the distance learning situation easy and complex instructions cn cause a distance learner to become distracted adn detatched from the Instructor. Your goal as a Instructor is to be effective, so to help the students understand you and the instruction , understand the student and overcome the communcation and learning barriers in your course or class
This week we are covering ice breakers and ways to make the learner comfortable in the distance learning environment. If you read my post you read where I say create a icebreaker question which is simple but also a follow up question to provide supporting detail to the response.

considerations should the instructor
Each studnet is different, each learner comes from a different world, and is from various experiences. My first education course was a bust and I felt lost from the beginning, My teacher failed because she assumed that like several of my classmates had bachelors in the field of education that I was familiar with pedagogy and eduction theory. I actually have a background in technology and informatics and was clueless on what was going on in the course. What really disapointed me was we completed icebreaker questions and I do not feel they were used in my personal instruction. Overall it was useful to me because as a Instuctor I know see where she was flawed and refuse to fail as she did
