Instructify

In honor of Kathryn Walbert’s new series of feature articles on online teaching, Instructify is giving one lucky teacher a free online course in LEARN NC’s Carolina Online Teacher program.

The COLT program is a certification track in online teaching. The program shows teachers the particulars of online pedagogy, collaboration, and how to navigate the virtual classroom. All COLT courses are online (duh), allowing you to work on them where and when you’re most ready, whether that’s during your planning period, or at 11 p.m. in your jammies. For more information on COLT, please click here.

How to win

We want to hear  your questions, insights and thoughts about online teaching and learning. Simply post a comment on the article, Instructifeature: Taking the plunge into online teaching — your students. One randomly selected commenter will win a free spot in a COLT course.

Please note, your comments must add something to the discussion. Writing “I like online courses,” or “Here’s my comment,” won’t work. However, something like “Online courses provide teachers the unique opportunity to engage different types of learners…” would probably work better.

Deadline

To qualify for the contest, you’ll have to leave a comment by Wednesday, March 25. If you’d like to get some professional development online and see if online teaching is right for you, comment now for your chance to win.
