Why should you participate?
1. To demonstrate the power of our community of educators.
2. There are giveaways!

Can you believe tomorrow is the last day of the challenge?! The connections & sharing that have been happening during the last 4 days have been powerful…we are honored to have you as part of this community!

 

Yesterday you got a taste of what if feels like to add value to your PLN through mutual sharing. Today, we’re opening ourselves up in order to create a more tight-knit community.

 

“In September 2010, the Department of Education (US) issued a detailed report that conducted a meta-analysis of 45 published studies that compare online and face-to-face learning. This analysis demonstrated that online learning methods are, on average, at least as effective as face-to-face learning. We believe that not only can online learning be as effective as face-to-face learning, but built on the foundations of theories that lend themselves to online learning, we can create a powerful learning experience for participants who can’t be face-to-face. This community approach to learning that the COETAIL Program is based on continues to show positive results in both online learning and face-to-face courses.”

 

Sometimes online learning can feel lonely. However COETAIL’s goal is to capitalize on the efficacy of online learning while creating a built-in community of support. How was COETAIL’s online learning community different than other experiences you’ve had? One COETAILer said: “Being connected to others digitally is an amazing way to learn and share.  The content was great but the sharing and connections were fantastic.” We’re in this together.
