IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:13 PM EST

Q1) Do you have any specific (or general) goals for your teaching and learning in 2016? #IOLchat

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:16 PM EST

A1) Definitely...have decided I need to better refine what I am trying to accomplish and master #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:16 PM EST

A1) Will be moving one online course into a new learning management system - probably over the summer. These keep changing! #iolchat

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:17 PM EST

Starting to know a lot but master little - not sure what is more important in dynamic world of #highered #edtech #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:17 PM EST

@jshamsy This is an outstanding goal, and one I relate with --- one of my "words for the year" is "focus." #IOLchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:18 PM EST

RT @jshamsy Starting to know a lot but master little - not sure what is more important in dynamic world of #highered #edtech #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:18 PM EST

@jshamsy What IS more important?!? Great topic to explore - broad knowledge vs. narrow expertise #iolchat

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:19 PM EST

A1) New LMSs always keep it interesting =) Are you migrating out of Canvas? #iolchat

amandasartori_ Jan 6 @ 12:20 PM EST

A1: Looking to see if current leadership development program for post-sec students can be delivered in blended format. Many opps! #IOLchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:20 PM EST

@jshamsy Any initial thoughts on priorities? #iolchat

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:20 PM EST

@IOLblog Would also like to better connect dots - instead of little packets of information bringing all together into big picture #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:21 PM EST

@jshamsy Agreed. No, the Canvas course is set (thankfully!). Moving another from eCollege to D2L-Brightspace. #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:21 PM EST

@amandasartori_ Hello and welcome to #iolchat Amanda!

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:22 PM EST

@amandasartori_ I really love the idea of blended - I hope it works out!!! It is great that you haven't decided but are exploring #iolchat

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:22 PM EST

@IOLblog So many new names...Not familiar with all of those =( #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:22 PM EST

@amandasartori_ Blended options are a favorite topic here. :) Any thoughts on your project so far? Tech tools? #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:23 PM EST

@jshamsy Sooooo many. D2L will be a new platform for me, too. #iolchat

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:24 PM EST

@IOLblog Not sure...just not enough hours in the day to do all the things I want to do =( #Iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:25 PM EST

@jshamsy Yes, time vs. tasks is another of our favorite topics here at #iolchat ;)

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:25 PM EST

@IOLblog And also be more willing to fail/accept criticism - hard but necessary #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:26 PM EST

@jshamsy You're definitely on to a new wave of thought, IMO. The field in general in a phase of reflection/refining. #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:28 PM EST

#onlineteaching #onlinelearning This -> RT @jshamsy And also be more willing to fail/accept criticism - hard but necessary #iolchat

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:29 PM EST

am enjoying the performance improvement aspect of my degree prog. helps to determine what is necessary vs. what is wanted #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:30 PM EST

A1) Am also hoping to join more Twitter chats this year. And renew reading of educator blogs. #iolchat

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:30 PM EST

#iolchat - that might help to refine a little bit & improve outcomes =)

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:31 PM EST

@jshamsy Can you tell us more? How is the performace improvement piece integrated? Sounds effective. #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:31 PM EST

@bph The school picked D2L recently , so I am looking forward to learning more about it soon. :) #IOLchat

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:33 PM EST

@IOLblog That is a great one! I think subscribing to blogs helps - then it is delivered to email so you can't miss it! #iolchat

hwallacelopes Jan 6 @ 12:35 PM EST

Hello #IOLchat, Helena from Habersham Georgia. Brand new to Twitter and to the chat world

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:35 PM EST

@jshamsy Yes! Subscriptions to my email inbox much more likely to be read than through other formats I find. At least for me. ;) #IOLchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:36 PM EST

@hwallacelopes Hello and welcome, Helena! Glad to have you here. We're chatting about teaching and learning goals for 2016 :) #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:37 PM EST

Q2) What resources will you rely on to reach your goals this year? #edtech #onlineEd #iolchat

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:38 PM EST

A2) don't know that I necessarily rely on resources - but am open to new things! #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:39 PM EST

#IOLchat Anyone have tips for connecting with international classes? https://t.co/zXYU7dMBck

hwallacelopes Jan 6 @ 12:20 PM EST

A1) I would like to get my students more involved with online projects and maybe class participation with other schools around the world

hwallacelopes Jan 6 @ 12:39 PM EST

#IOLchat This January I'm starting a new master degree in educational technology all on line. A little scared but exited

A2) Found a new chat resource just today... will be taking a closer look: https://t.co/iv8kCJnhs3 #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:45 PM EST

@hwallacelopes Fear and excitement sounds like a perfect (and normal) way to begin a new online program. You are in good company:) #iolchat

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:45 PM EST

@IOLblog Wow..there is a lot out there! #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:46 PM EST

@jshamsy I know, right? Hoping to get #IOLchat added to that list.

amandasartori_ Jan 6 @ 12:47 PM EST

@jshamsy Thank you! We're doing a review of the series, perfect time! #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:49 PM EST

#IOLchat Nice approach to planning a blended learning experience :) https://t.co/IJDwqm6Pxe

amandasartori_ Jan 6 @ 12:46 PM EST

@IOLblog Still exploring! Have a institution course portal. Want to use platforms/apps that students already use in day-to-day as well.

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:52 PM EST

Q3) Do you have any teaching/learning goals related to social media? #edtech #iolchat

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:54 PM EST

A3) Get back into it..even if it is only for 10 minutes a day...it is such a valuable resource to be pushed aside #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:55 PM EST

@jshamsy The time management piece is critical I think - thanks for mentioning! Scheduling can work. #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:56 PM EST

Also, some feedback on our recent #IOLchat poll - The top 3 goals for participating in Twitter chats are...

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:57 PM EST

... 1) Build a professional network, 2) Identify helpful resources, 3) Foster casual conversations with colleagues #iolchat #TwitterChats

jshamsy Jan 6 @ 12:58 PM EST

@IOLblog It is a lot easier to stay on top of the Twitter train then to have to catch up! #iolchat

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 12:59 PM EST

@jshamsy Well said! :) #IOLchat

#IOLchat I work at a 9th grade academy teaching Spanish so creating a network of Spanish resources will help me survive

IOLblog Jan 6 @ 1:04 PM EST

@hwallacelopes That network will no doubt be helpful in many ways as you extend your experience online! #IOLchat
