Hi Alexandra! Thank you for the warm welcome! I am looking forward to sharing ideas and learning from each other about online teaching. I will check the links and introduce myself in the community. I am happy to be a part of it!

Hola Alexandra. Si soy colombiano, de Bogotá. Actualmente vivo en una pequeña ciudad a tan solo 2 horas. 

Gracias por la aceptación.

Hi Alexandra:

Thanks for the information and I will be sure to add that information.

Hi Alexandra!

I enjoyed being part of the online training initiative this summer.  Thank you for referring me to the organizers.  I think the participants (nearly 200) enjoyed learning about the 8-step SOFLA cycle of learning.  50 minutes was tough and I had to talk super fast.  However, it's recorded, so they can go back and look.  I hope you get a chance to watch it yourself. I did a two-hour version this morning for a school district and that gave me more time to be interactive.  I also have a "course," a 15-hour module with synchronous and asynchronous tasks interwoven, that I have done for BOCES.  I think SOFLA is catching on. Here is my latest article just out in August:  Fostering Teaching Presence through the Synchronous Online Flipped Learning Approach: http://www.tesl-ej.org/wordpress/issues/volume24/ej94/ej94int/   Enjoy!   Helaine

Thanks for the warm welcome. Looking forward to working with this community =)

Hi Alex: Thanks for the welcome! I am looking forward to participating and learning about teaching online. I participated in the SUNY QbD course (just finished it) and have lots of new ideas to use in my own courses and with my work with faculty at my college. I will follow your advice and check out the links you suggested. On a personal note, we are a big SUNY family, I went to UB and my two sons went to ESF and Binghamton. 

Hi Alexandra-

Thank you!  I am looking forward to participating in this community and learning as much as I can about teaching online. I've seen many of your videos as I continue to work through the SUNY "Interested in Teaching Online" course. I especially enjoyed the videos on how to establish social presence and class community. They were very helpful.  Thanks again!

Great working with you and thank you for all the support
