    Program Overview I
    MOOC #1
    Course: Teaching Character and Creating Positive Classrooms

    Taught by: Dave Levin

    Overview: I found this program by browsing through Coursera. I wanted to join a MOOC that would
    encourage me to implement new teaching strategies next year. As a third year teacher, I’m constantly
    looking for new ways to improve my practice. As it turns out, participating in a MOOC is a great way to
    improve in this area. I’m also a firm believer that students should be introduced to character strengths
    that can help them succeed in the future. Educators should be excited about molding future generations in
    a positive way. This can ultimately lead to a better society for our successors.
    Overall Experience

    This is a 5 week course designed for teachers and students hoping to learn new ways to promote
    character growth in education. Levin emphasized character strengths such as self-control, gratitude and
    social intelligence all of which, he stated, could be incorporated in today’s curriculum. The assignments in
    this MOOC consisted of writing letters, completing surveys, responding to reflection questions and
    watching videos on educators who consistently teach character strengths to their students. Anyone
    completing this MOOC would most likely spend at least 3-4 hours per week on completing the weekly
    tasks. Such tasks include reading through content, watching videos related to the topic, and writing
    reflections. Although such a list may seem daunting, participants will most likely feel really excited about
    teaching in way that encourages students to be the best they can be in every aspect of their life.
    Reflection on Literacy Skills

    This activity revealed some of the ways in which educators can acquire more ICT Literacy skills to

    better serve our students. Being more aware of the resources available on the WWW can help us be more
    informed and better equipped to provide students with a quality 21st century education. MOOCS are just
    one of many resources educators can utilize to stay on the life-long learner track. MOOCS are a great way
    for teachers to educate themselves or become more informed on a variety of subjects that can ultimately
    come together to form better educators. After becoming more familiar with MOOCS, I intend to spend

    more time learning more about my deviating subjects of interest.


    Program Overview II
    MOOC #2
    Course: The Meat We Eat

    Program delivered by: Coursera

    Overview: I found this MOOC by browsing through the list of available courses on Coursera. In addition
    to the first MOOC I participated in, I decided to join another MOOC for fun. Lately, my wife and I have
    been thinking about becoming vegan due to some health issues she’s been struggling with. However, this
    is not going to be an easy transition for me as a lover of all meat. In order to fully support her though, it is
    best we both share the same diet. As a result, I decided to take this course to educate myself on the
    quality, safety, healthfulness, and sustainability of muscle foods.. Throughout my life, meat has always
    been my first choice for protein consumption but the after participating in this MOOC, I realized there
    are so many different substitutes for protein that don’t require eating meat.
    Overall Experience for MOOC II

    This was a four week course that focused on various topics related to the quality, safety, and
    healthfulness of the meat we eat. Each week consisted of a combination of videos, readings, and a quiz at
    the end of the week. The first week focused on the US meat industry and compared it to the European
    meat industry. I learned about several questionable practices in our meat industry that actually
    encouraged me to change my diet. The remainder of the course focused on consumption safety, meat
    quality, fabrication, and packaging. Overall, I learned a lot about our meat industry and the way it is
    distributed to thousands of supermarkets across the country. It also gave me more insight as to why
    certain meats have caused health issues for many people including my wife. After reviewing this course, I
    am certainly more compelled to support my wife in her decision to become vegan.
