The eCoaching Continuum

The e-Coaching Continuum: Digital Age Professional Learning that  Supports the Whole Educator in  Reaching the Whole Child.  The title itself can explain the whole topic.  After attending the webinar with Marcia Rock, I became aware of some extra advantages that technology can provide.  Regardless its importance in facilitating the teaching process, technology here can act as a coach.  Marcia proves that e-coaching help us reach professional learning for it facilitates learning and knowledge transfer.  e-coaching continuum is holistic orientated, low in cost, capacity centered and quality focused.  The e-coaching continuum main characteristics is that it is first based on a job  embedded,  technology‐enabled  continuum, led by teachers and  supported by  coaches, consultants,  and administrators, aimed at  strengthening  teacher practice and  enhancing K‐12  student outcomes. Designed on the  most up‐to‐date  professional learning  theory and research.  It is based on the following theories: Connectivism (Siemens, 2005), Generativism (Carneiro, 2013) and 21st Century Lifelong Learning (Steffens, 2015). The e-coaching continuum has four, nimble,  interconnected, dynamic components: 1-Study 2-Watch 3-Coach 1:1 4-Coach One  Another.  Maria provided her webinar with different examples of questions ad handouts, pictures of how e-coaching looks like, and statistics on how successful, the results reached and improvements achieved after using e-coaching continuum.  While attending it, various questions were asked from people all over the world.  Some could also nag for the bad voice since the microphone was too near to her mouth.  It was a new, exciting and challenging experience.I learned out of attending this webinar that e-coaching can help me in developing in my job by direct evaluating.  e-coaching can be applied in different settings.  it can help teachers and students to exchange knowledge and to spread the e-coaching culture.

It is really frustrating to use technology for me.  Honestly, i was worried about this course the moment i registered it.  Week after week i see that i was a bit wrong with my judgments since things look easier than i expected.  Your efforts in making everyone following is facilitating everything and you are working hard in making all computers accessibility to internet available.The only disadvantage i have ids that i can't apply much in my career since my colleagues are not used to such things.  Hope my optimism would continue this way till the end of the semester.
