I took both quizzes.  I received a 26 on the MMC quiz and the other quiz did not give scores, but it showed I was ready for online learning.  I teach online already, so I feel comfortable with technology and online classes.  The main area I need to focus on is Environment, as it can be easily distracting to work at home on class work with two little ones and a mess that always needs cleaning! I try to stay after at work to do homework to solve this problem.

Currently I teach using Edgenuity and we allow all students to take online classes without a survey. The other teacher and I truly believe a readiness survery would benefit the students to make them realize that online learning is not easier because you do not have to come to school everyday, if anything, it is more time consuming and more difficult if you are not ready to be self motivated.

After watching the video (and many others) and taking the online survey I found that I am ready for online learning or distance learning. To me this helps to keep me focused. I am doing something I am ready for and know that honestly I can be sucessful with this style of learning.

As for the survey with students, I think it would mean the same thing for them. It gives you a sense of what you are ready to take on. There are no right or wrong answers, it just puts you where your mind is and allows you to focus on those things you can change.

I was a "self-directed" learner.  This to me, meant that I was comfortable and confident in managing my time and committment to the course, but that I also liked the availability and feedback of my instructor and peers.  I enjoy face to face time, to help clarify any misunderstandings, but with a busy schedule, know that I can obtain those clarifications through the use of email or discussion forums.  I think that's what makes online learning so successful, the ability to communicate when needed.

I took the MCC survey about on-line class readiness.  I scored 40 points and was found that on-line courses would suit me.  I have taken on-line classes before and have been successful.  The one area I would need to work on would the new technology that is out there for teachers to use.  I have learned of so many resources for teachers from this class and was surprised on how limited my scope has been.  This is one area I need to develop and spend more time learning about.

First, I want to say that the top link is broken, and takes me to a "site not found" type of page.

I like that surveys like these exist.  Not everyone will be able to pace themselves and complete an online course.  I personally sometimes have difficulty rationing out tasks if I do not have a fixed deadline (that I am attempting to finish this course mere days before the deadline is evidence of this).

When discussing blended learning courses in the future, the time management aspect will definitely be what I will stress the most.
