I feel that the ideal Digital Learning Community (DLC) will be
appealing and interesting to the group it desires to attract. It should look professional and
tasteful. It should not be difficult to
join, nor sign in. It should offer to
save the password and also offer a way to link with social media. The features that will set the ideal DLC
apart from and above others will be it the good courtesy this community will
process. The ideal DLC should also be free of charge. The provider will check and
address problems in a rapid manner. It
will also do periodic surveys to ensure that all the members are getting the
most from the DLC. I feel that potential
members need to have qualities such as respect, safety, and honesty.
In order to bring this type of DLC vision into fruition, much planning will be needed. This would need to be done by taking surveys from parents, students, and teachers to see what would appeal to all three groups. Finding out what is helpful and then implementing can may a difference and help to create the ideal DLC. This will in turn make learning and teaching better and produce better outcomes for students.
There are things that can be done to make an existing DLC more attractive and welcoming for students and teachers. For students, interaction is the key. When students can get involved in the classroom, they learn and enjoy being there. I can recall many times when students have said " I can't believe the bell is about to ring". That comes from them being engaged in the work they are doing. When DLC have engaging and changeling ways of letting students interact they will be more appealing to the students. Also using current events and music is helpful for DLCs to attract students. An opening video with music which would give a idea of what can be done in the DLC would make students want to get involved. As a teacher, I am attracted to DLCs which keep data and can provide feedback for me to help me keep track of student progress. And in the 21st century we all use social media frequently. I feel that students and teachers will feel welcomed when DLCs include social media. I found this image that shows my vision of the DLC incorporating social media.
