In my online class I will create a blog that include course document, each student must post their assignment every week. There are some video, audio and text in my blog. I will use Blogger web site also I will ask student to download free skype program to communicate with each other so that they can do their project with each other. I will use video from youtub that can explain how to create blog also the blog will have my power point cast that I created. The important thing that I should do, i will test my power point by try to open it in different computers and different kind of software like Macintosh and Microsoft

After creating my power point I have to ask some of experts in this filed to test my course also the tools that I used and my power point.

The navigation system of blogger is very easy to use. For example: They need to select a template that will conduct their information. Also they will write some of information about themselves, like, their names, their interest, and downloads their photos. Also the student put how we can contact them, for example: their emails.

Development, Media Choices and Considerations

Online class:
The technology has become indispensible part in our lives. In last few years ago, online courses are more common used in colleges. Since I've been in college in Saudi Arabia I had never deal with online classes because we don’t have this technology in some of our universities.

My Experience:
I’ve been taken two online courses in CSUSB so far; the first one was ETEC 500 with Dr Newberry it was difficult in the first class but I like it after few classes I enjoy online class and I toke another class that was ETEC 676 in summer 09 with Dr Newberry. I have deal with new tools of technology like: podcasts, audio and video, chatting, skype program and blogs. There are a few reasons that make online classes successful one of them: online class is make learning more interesting. In my experience with online classes make learning more easy to get my education it allow me to be a full time student without coming to the university, because I am a mother and wife.

There are some of advantage and disadvantage of online classes :

The advantage of online class in general way:
For students: they can play the lectures at anytime at any place, to take notes, complete assignment, do research, also to send and receive e-mail. Also students can share their information all over the world.

For Instructors: they can record the lectures by using padcast or video. also they can access to their students 24/7. Online class makes learning more interactive, more enjoyable, and more customizable. It improves students’ attitudes toward content and their interest in learning.

Strengths and weaknesses of using thread discussion and skype :



(1) Threaded discussion: (definition)

This is one of the tools of online class, it make student communicant with each other and with their instructor .

The strengths :
Share knowledge:
Student can share their experiences with each other
Improve critical thinking:
Student can improve their critical thinking skills.
Also students can post their idea with out feel shy.
The weaknesses :
I agree with dr Newberry that "the oldest post stays on top and to find new messages you must scroll down to the botto m. The hierarchical layout of threaded discussion also makes it difficult to scan through the posts. And it can be difficult to follow all of the threads, especially long ones, without some frustration."

***********************

(2) Skype:
Skype is a free program that allows student to chat with other and with their instructor through text, audio, and video.

The strengths :
* Free to Download.
* students can connected with students who learning similar subject in the worldwide.
* teachers can be available to their students.
The weaknesses :
* Doesn't work as well with student that have slower internet connections .
* Doesn't work as well with student that have problem with typing .

**********************

The Online Class :
In this class I will focus to development online materials , I would use a power point to put my lecture also I would use skype to contact with my student and allow them to contact with each other . Student can connected with me by using email , they can send their assignment to me every week also answer my question that i put it in the end of my lecture.

Sisson one :

What is the Blog?

“A blog (a contraction of the term "web log")[1] is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order.” LINK

How To Use Blog?

* my own power point

* video explaining to the students how they can create a blog. "Video 1" & "Video 2" & "Video3"

* Assignment deadlines.

Design my blog:
You will select a template that will conduct your information.
You will write some of information about you, For example: your name, your interesting, and your photo.
You will but how we can contact you, for example: your email.

My post:
