What did you like about the Distance Learning experience? ______________________________________________________________________ I really had a great bunch of students all schools this year. The agriculture class with ______________________________________________________________________ Levi Cohan is great! Hopefully we'll participate in the class next year. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ I love the fact that these kids can meet kids they normally wouldn’t while getting the ______________________________________________________________________ classes. We even had kids passing each other in the hall at BOCES but not meeting ______________________________________________________________________ until DL class. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Interacting with the students and teachers. The technology. Learning by observation, ______________________________________________________________________ the innovative techniques teachers use to make three schools act as one cohesive ______________________________________________________________________ group. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ I enjoyed engaging in conversations with new adults and students. Many new people ______________________________________________________________________ were introduced, great experiences! ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Various classes offered and interaction with other schools. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ The teachers and students enjoying each other ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . .

What did you dislike about the Distance Learning experience? ______________________________________________________________________ A teacher would talk about CRCS students, laugh at them, told her students that CRCS ______________________________________________________________________ students were failing etc. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Sometimes we had problems hearing other schools. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ All schools times were all different this year - all off by a minute to three. Important to ______________________________________________________________________ have all participating schools times should be in sync. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ The difference in period times - and I realize the north country schools are going to be ______________________________________________________________________ more in sync next year. Also having class several days in a row - when the host school ______________________________________________________________________ has days off. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Sometimes we did not get papers in advance. Copying of 7 or more papers has to be ______________________________________________________________________ done in the main office. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ A lack of differentiated instruction in certain classes /engaging lessons. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Nothing. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . .

What changes would you offer to improve the DL program? ______________________________________________________________________ Updated fax machines. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ To get to meet teachers: a person - students miss that. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Offer more classes. Let students come and view the DL to make sure this is a class ______________________________________________________________________ and a room setting they are comfortable with. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Laptops in our room, cordless microphones for teachers, bigger TV screens. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ I would like to have a week advance notice of the class agenda. I sometimes feel ______________________________________________________________________ unprepared when I am told the day of assignments or copying papers during class. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ We have the older equipment, I would like to see us updated. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Different places for microphones, everyone on the same bell schedule. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Teachers should be required to visit remote sites at least once - preferably more than ______________________________________________________________________ that. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . .

General Comments I______________________________________________________________________ As always I enjoy being part of the DL classroom. ______________________________________________________________________ Had a great year in distance learning loved working with all the teachers and the ______________________________________________________________________ support team. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ How site teachers need to call on students at other schools as well as their own ______________________________________________________________________ school. Get them more involved. Stay on task. Return graded material more often so ______________________________________________________________________ students see what they got wrong. Could use inter-office mail to save wear and tear ______________________________________________________________________ on fax. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ For health, the students took it during their lunch and I gave up my lunch for them to ______________________________________________________________________ get the class so we used privacy a lot to avoid the microphoness on the desk. I am ______________________________________________________________________ sure rustling lunch bags and crunching noises wouldn’t have been pleasant over the ______________________________________________________________________ system. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Help desk is always on the ball. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ I had a great experience with DL classes through Glens Falls, Wells, and Warrensburg! ______________________________________________________________________ Host site teachers made me feel important, needed and a part of their classes. I cant ______________________________________________________________________ thank these host site teachers enough! ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . .
