Moodle: It was great to earn 3 credits while creating a Moodle that can actually be used with students in the classroom and from home! |

Moodle Class: This was a good class to introduce you to moodle and was clear enought that by the time the class was over I had my own moodle set up. I plan on taking some more online courses next summer. |
|
Moodle Class: This class is a great way to help you learn how to create a Moodle on your own time! The course is especially great for older students (high school, middle school, and upper elementary school). You can still learn a lot no matter what grade level you teach, though. |

Moodle Class: Moodle Course
I'm both a teacher and an instructional designer. I can honestly say the Moodle course enhanced my skillsets in both professions! It was very informative and fun at the same time. That's exactly what a good course should offer. This was the second course I took with Josh and I will continue to take more courses. I highly recommend them.
Sincerely,

Moodle Course: Challenging for someone not so tech savvy like myself, but well worth the rigor. Moodle is a cool platform that can enhance you class...and it's free. |
|
Moodle Course: A very relaxed atmosphere. Enjoyed the course. |
|
On-line Courses: I have never taken an on-line course before. I was hesitant about the unstructed environment and the work load of the course. But after taking the course I would highly recommend any course given by Josh Stein. The videos, lectures, assignments, and readings are all very relivent to today's education and for today's educators. I feel that I learned a great deal about teaching today's students. |
|
Overall: This course gives you a great overall view of the main types of technology that you can use with your students. Great class! |

Overall, I really enjoyed this course!: "Overall, I really enjoyed this course! It was a lot of work but it really pushed my thinking as an educator, and I learned a lot. Joshua Stein is an excellent instructor- he was easy to contact, always friendly and helpful, and this course was well planned and implemented. I truly enjoyed taking it!"

Self-Concept: I have been taking the online class, "Building Self-Esteem in the Classroom to Achieve Success, Beat Bullying, and to Foster a Positive Learning Environment." I decided to take this particular class because the subject matter is extremely relevant in today's classroom setting, plus I thought it would be a great learning tool for helping to better mangage my students in the Kindergarten classroom. The most important message I've learned from the articles, videos and book I read, "Six Pillars of Self-Esteem", is that when children have a positive self-esteem at an early age, there are significant benefits. These benefits include more achievement, physically healthy, peaceful, high productivity, less aggression, and overall increase in well-being. As a classroom teacher and a role model, it is my responsibility to foster these strengths in my classroom, and, at the same time, work on building up my own self-esteem. As Tony Robbins said in the video, we all need to work on our "emotional fitness" in order to cope in today's world. I would highly recommend this class for any teacher or educator who needs guidance and inspiration from self-esteem experts, to help deal with students and prevent bullying in their classroom. |
