In the virtual classroom, I see live videos of my professor and classmates, raise my hand to ask questions or volunteer answers, view PowerPoint presentations, deliver presentations of my own using PowerPoint or Prezi, and constantly use the chat box to respond to what others are saying. Since there is a lot of group work involved in most classes, we have to meet outside of class, usually virtually unless classmates live near one another, and there is a great sense of community among those of us that study online. There are also forums for many classes where we share our ideas on readings or classroom observations and, for the practicum course, I even need to upload videos of myself teaching in China for my classmates to view and critique. If you want to hear more about the MAT@USC program, you can read the reflections of one of my classmates, Sherrie Lee, here. […]

Great article Sherrie, really well written. It has been a long haul for sure but I certainly felt a twinge last Friday as i signed off from my last MAT class at USC! It has become such a way of life for a year and a half for me I think it will take some time for it to sink in that it’s over! Great meeting you on line, looking forward to meeting you in person at commencementin May! Jan
