Introduction

You probably have a bunch of questions about teaching online, and while I could answer your questions, it's useful to get a variety of perspectives.  So . . .  in this assignment, you will compile some questions, find an online teacher, and interview that teacher. You may work alone or in a group of 2-3 people.  During the first week, you'll write and share your questions.  During the second week, you'll find and interview a teacher, and during the 3rd week you will share and discuss results.

What to Do

1. Write at least 10 questions and post them to the Blackboard discussion (you will get discussion points for that).  Read your classmates' questions and adapt your own questions if you wish.
   
2. Find a teacher to interview.  You may choose a teacher who is teaching fully online or blended (partially online).   Here are some resources:
   1. Online classes at Cuyamaca & Grossmont
   2. California Virtual Campus Catalog (might help you find an online teacher in your discipline)
      
3. Conduct your interview in person (preferred), by phone, or e-mail.  You could also use videoconferencing or instant messaging. Take notes!
4. Submit a 1-paragraph summary to Blackboard Assignments (Word or text document). 
   
5. Share your impressions in a face-to-face (f2f) class discussion OR online discussion. Did anything surprise you? Worry you?  Excite you? 

Submitting work

• Upload and submit your file to Blackboard.  If working in a group, each person should submit a document.
