Takeaways from ESLTECH 2011

A major takeaway for me relates to time management with regard to online learning. Some examples include establishing a schedule, limiting distractions within a study space, focusing on one thing at a time, and asking for help. By incorporating these tips into a routine, students can stay on top of their online assignments and potentially have a more enjoyable online learning experience. Secondly, I have learned various strategies when it comes to online reading and note-taking that can be helpful if utilized appropriately. Reading online can be challenging, so taking time to establish a good reading routine is beneficial for students. For example, identifying the purpose of the text you are reading, taking notes, and questioning what the reading is talking about, are all good strategies to utilize to better comprehend and retain the information. Lastly, I have learned about the importance of staying organized, especially if partaking in online classes. Some useful items to have on-had to stay organized include, a calendar, binders and folders, and basic office supplies. Additionally, maintaining a good study environment is essential to being successful in all courses.
