KIM COFINO'S ALWAYS LEARNING BLOG

In Kim's first blog that I commented on I got to read about an International online school that offers online classes for the k-12 age groups. I thought it was real interesting how this site even offered classes for kinders!! That must be a real interesting thing to see! Kim made a really good point in that these kind of programs need to have a system of checks that can make sure students are not sharing logins, so others can take their tests, or just cheating in general. I think that this is one of the real big problems in online courses, and is one of the only drawbacks! The honor system doesn't always work!

In Kim's second blog that I got to post on she described a workshop that she gets to put on all across Asia, where she teaches a small interactive group of teachers technology and how they can use it in their classrooms in the best ways. She really stresses being able to use the technology and working in groups that way you are collaborating and learning from each other. I think that this sounds like a great way to learn new technologies, and that these workshops she gives are the way to go!!
