Connectedness
People need to learn how to connect to new people on a regular basis. No person has all the knowledge needed to work alone in our connected society. Neither does any company. Neither does any government. !!We are all connected AND dependent on each other.

Share a specific improvement/benefit that has been an outcome of your experiences with The Center.
I have changed the way I respond to student work (using video) as a result of several hangouts and the resulting discussions.
I love the way ideas build on each other in the hangouts, live questions, and later comments in Google+ and on Twitter.
Having a topic active for several days has led me to spend enough time thinking about it to feel comfortable trying something new in my classes. Also, having a channel to share how it went with others encourages me to do it and improve upon it.
With my new awareness of what colleagues at other colleges are doing, I am helping my college to revise our Distance Education policies and training programs. I could go on and on-‐-‐The Center has had a huge impact on my teaching life!
I've been inspired to do more videos and screencasts with my online classes for more instructor presence.
Share a specific improvement/benefit that has been an outcome of your experiences with The Center.
Gained many ideas for my online & hybrid classes from the presentations. It has also confirmed that online teaching can be as interactive if not more than a traditional F2F class. Additionally, these presentations reaffirmed desire to pursue more online opportunities. Thank you.
I have created a personal faculty web page. I have started using new programs like Haiku Deck and introduced new programs to colleagues.
Have found the thoughts of other faculty very helpful to my online teaching and my work with our Committee for Online Learning at Foothill College.
Started a Google Hangout for a campus club meeting. Planning to use for online office hours as well.
