29 .. CRB/FEH Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey 2004– 2005 School Year BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality Access Support Section B Teacher Comments

30 .. CRB/FEH Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey 2004– 2005 School Year BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality Access Support ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Involving students who would normally not get these opportunities. It allows students and districts to share scarce resources. It greatly increases the class offerings and there are many things that you can do and show with the equipment. Being able to allow “atypical” courses to a variety of schools and students. The diversity of the students, the difference between locations was always embraced as a refreshing change from my students here. Interaction and competition between students (using) the most advanced technology schools have to offer. The Elmo technology is excellent for pictures and notes. The DVD and VCR capabilities. 1. What are the strengths of distance Learning? Comments

31 .. CRB/FEH Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey 2004– 2005 School Year BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality Access Support ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Getting all schools to be coordinated to start and end on time. It is hard with three classes on DL to keep up with three different schedules. Technology in my DL room is antiquated, we need laptops, wireless Internet connection, etc. Not being in the room with students makes it difficult to do hands-on projects. Distance makes it hard to visit. Snow days, hourly delays, class meetings and other school interruptions can cause more problems than in a traditional class. [It can be difficult to make] time to receive and return homework quizzes and tests. [It is] sometimes [difficult] disciplining a student for not paying attention or working on other material. It doesn’t work when schools fail to comply with the expectations of the system. One student was asked to be removed by me but was placed back [in my class] because they needed the credit to graduate. Behavior improved but was still an issue throughout the year. 2. What are the weaknesses of Distance Learning? Comments

32 .. CRB/FEH Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey 2004– 2005 School Year BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality Access Support ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Deal more effectively with noisy heating units. It is difficult to hear students from other sites. I would like computer access at the teacher’s desk in our room. Tighter requirements and prerequisites for students to enroll. Aides [should] not be on a first name basis with students. It went much better when working with a school that had [an aide] who stayed with the room most of the day. More should be done to coordinate school policies on such issues as allowable add- drop cut-off dates, marking period and grade submission dates. Computer stations in each student desk. 3. What changes would you suggest for distance learning classes? Comments

33 .. CRB/FEH Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey 2004– 2005 School Year BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality Access Support ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Students actually “getting along” and being friendly between schools. It has been great getting to know other students and faculty from other NY areas. Travel time was an unexpected outcome and obstacle sometimes. We get a good cross section of students and schools. Students began highly motivated, I think, because of the delivery medium. By the end of the year however, the novelty wore off. I found it interesting that students from the other schools often did better than the ones in my own. It let me know that I probably did a good job of not favoring the students in my own school. 4. Are there any outcomes from teaching this course that you had not expected? Comments

34 .. CRB/FEH Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey 2004– 2005 School Year BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality Access Support ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Games, videos and slides. I visited the remote school, used the telephone, fax, U.S. Mail and courier service. This year I have had students do Earth Day projects, computer research projects and Power Point. I did more student expressive activities. Students were able to work sign language with students from other schools. I’m using a Palm Pilot with some classes. I used “Blackboard” discussion board. It allowed students to keep up with the course. I used more learner centered research activities and student presentations Comments 5. Did you use any new instructional methods to effectively teach in the DL classroom?

35 .. CRB/FEH Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey 2004– 2005 School Year BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality Access Support ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ I would like to use e-mail – there are no computers in this room. I used e-mail, fax and telephone. I used “”Blackboard” which has built in e-mail and drop box. E-mail was very effective. I used e-mail when the students wanted me to look at their Power-Point presentations. I had a discussion board and e-mail that the students could use but didn’t. Comments 6. Did you use any other forms of communication with the students in addition to daily …... distance learning classroom instruction (such as e-mail or telephone)?

36 .. CRB/FEH Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey 2004– 2005 School Year BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality Access Support Comments 7A. Did you visit your remote sites or arrange for them to visit you? Yes No There were 18 responses to this question.

37 .. CRB/FEH Distance Learning Project Teacher Survey 2004– 2005 School Year BOCES Distance Learning Program Quality Access Support ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ [By visiting the remote school I was] ten times better able to connect with students. I really enjoyed visiting them but it’s hard to drive the additional time. I visited each school once. The advantage is in the interaction with the students. I visited weekly. Students got to know me and I them. Our field trip to Boston was also a success. I haven’t yet. Due to my course load it may not happen…Tupper Lake is pretty far. I visited at least three times each semester. Travel and distance are the disadvantages. I didn’t visit but they did come to my school to see a speaker. The students came here and it was very productive. Comments 7B. What were the advantages / disadvantages to visiting your remote school(s)?
