Boosting Teaching Presence-Special Edition: 2 Nuggets + 1 Minute for Reflection📝✨

As I write this issue, Melissa and I (mostly Melissa!🥰) are deep in the planning phases of our PLC on the Community of Inquiry (COI). I wanted to get you thinking about your teaching presence.

Nugget 1: Community of Inquiry (COI)

📚Last spring, we gathered at IU8 to explore the COI model. We also met Sam Mormando from Garnet Valley School District and received a copy of his book, Effectively Designed Instruction. One quote from his book really made me reflect on my own teaching presence. 💡

Feel free to share your thoughts or comments below. When you read this quote, what comes to mind regarding your own teaching presence?🤔

Nugget 2: Four Rings of Presence

💻Over the summer, we expanded our COI learning through Jolt’s course, “Four Rings of Presence: A Winning Combination for Effective Learning Designs.” In the coming days, revisit the section on teaching presence and reflect on your approach to creating an engaging learning environment.🌟

Feel free to share your thoughts or comments below about how you're enhancing teaching presence in your online classroom.💬🧑‍🏫
