What Educators Are Saying about our courses
This being my first lilieonline.com course, I didn't know what to expect. The bad news: this course took as much time and effort as 2 others I was taking simultaneously. The outside reading time, correspondence and website/clip viewing was extensive. I have never worked so hard for in-service credit. The good news: I enjoyed every minute of it. I will add the books to my professional collection and recommend them extensively. I have taken on-line courses before, but never felt so engaged. The district got more than its money's worth. My time and money was well spent. Thank you for organizing and facilitating.
I enjoyed learning excel and PowerPoint. Hal's video instructional site was the most effective online teaching I have encountered. These resources will definitely help me to become a better teacher. I know students are engaged more when we use technology. Thanks to Hal, I can't wait to use technology more in my classroom. I would love to continue to learn about Microsoft Office and creating WebQuest. Perhaps we can get LILIE to offer more online courses on Microsoft Office. I Thank Hal for sharing his knowledge of computer technology with us. I look forward to take more courses with him in the near future.
This course was great! I learned so much about Character Education. The instructor, Liz Catz, is an
expert on Character Education. Her postings for the class was well thought out and related to the course.
She facilitated our class blog discussions and allowed for interpretations of thoughts. The course webpage
was well designed and easy to navigate. I could tell that Liz really devoted a great deal of time to
developingthis class so that we could all walk away with some useful and valuable information. When
questions were asked, Liz was immediate in her response and eager to assist us in any way she could.
This was a great learning experience for me and I would recommend this class to anyone.
Thanks again for another successful LILIE class!
I really enjoyed this course. In the short time I have learned so much about Autism and the Autism Spectrum including Asperger's Syndrome. By being forced to log on 4 times a week I have really immersed myself into the topic and my teaching will truly benefit. I think John Kelsch was a great facilitator of conversations that sparked worthy debates and enjoyable professional discussions. He made time to respond to each of us individually just like he would in an in-class setting. The course was outlined very clearly and it was well-known to all participants what was needed to complete the coursework in a timely fashion. The web page was extremely helpful as a resource to refer back to frequently. The time spent on doing my case study on "Billy" was well spent and I know he will benefit from my newly founded knowledge for the rest of the school year.
This class provided a wealth of information to help identify, assess and work with students with disabilities.
Due to this class I have an increased awareness of what my students are going through both emotionally
and educationally. This information will help me adjust the focus of my therapy as an SLP in the schools.
I have already begun to try to incorporate more phonological awareness activities into my lessons.
In addition I have become more aware of how my own behaviors, ie calling on students to read instead
of asking for volunteers, can affect the child. The most important information I will take from
this class is the fact that SLPs play an integral part in remediating dyslexia.
