"I took a CaseNEX course last summer and was really surprised by the sense of community I felt in the course. Even though the class was online, I felt as though I really connected with the other teachers in the class and our instructor. I would often find myself looking for posts from certain people because even though I only recognized their names and had never met them, I felt as though I really agreed with things they had to say and knew that I would be able to respond to their comments. I'm glad that FCPS offers online classes because it is really easy to fit the course into your schedule and participate in the online discussions when it is convenient for you. "   [hide]

"Online learning works! It's flexible for both student and instructors yet provides scope and sequence at a pace that maintains momentum, interest and participation."   more...

"Online learning works! It's flexible for both student and instructors yet provides scope and sequence at a pace that maintains momentum, interest and participation. The CaseNEX teaching/learning model is ideal for teaching students real-world elements of successful problem-solving strategies. Students are challenged with content that is timely, specific and representative of the issues that face educators today. The CaseNEX model uses a five-step method that examines key issues, perspectives, knowledge known or needed, potential action steps and likely consequences or impact of decisions made. As a result students improve and fine-tune their skills in making judgments in solving real-life issues and problems."   [hide]

"The cases presented are challenging, informative and linked to many of the experiences I have encountered during my teaching career."   more...

"Taking a course online has been a new experience for me. My apprehension was soon relieved once I became familiar with the CaseNEX syllabus and began navigating the site. The cases presented are challenging, informative and linked to many of the experiences I have encountered during my teaching career. Having the opportunity to dialogue with my classmates in the course has given me the chance to see the situations we are all reading about from so many different vantage points. The instructor responds in a timely fashion and makes comments pertinent to what I have written. Everything that has to be done with reference to the coursework is clearly defined and all materials are provided for you online. And the best part is that I have the freedom to do this on my own time. Last week I visited with my family out of town but was still able to do my course work and not miss a beat. What a pleasure! I look forward to taking my next course and feel sure it will be as pleasurable an experience."   [hide]

"The 5-step method used in the CaseNEX online courses fosters a comprehensive approach to viewing all sides of an issue."   more...

"The 5-step method used in the CaseNEX online courses fosters a comprehensive approach to viewing all sides of an issue. I found this to be helpful both in practice and in theory. After reading, and discussing the cases you feel comfortable expressing your own opinion, and better informed by reading the opinions of your colleagues. Again the procedure allows for a better overall approach to any classroom problem or situation because it encourages you to view varying aspects and viewpoints before brainstorming a variety of approaches or strategies."   [hide]

"Being a CaseNex instructor has given me the opportunity to reflect on my own teaching back at my home school. The cases, readings and dialogue between the CaseNEX students has been a wonderful opportunity to remember why I became a teacher in the first place, to help children learn despite having disabilities or limits. The support from CaseNEX has been wonderful. I was able to receive a response to e-mails within minutes of clicking the send button."   [hide]

"It amazes me how technology has grown in such a short time span. I recall taking an online course and disliking it because of the informalities and technicalities it generated. CaseNEX and OCPS allows us to change that mold. They have created an interface that is user friendly and OCPS has created a medium for administrators to communicate without having to travel. I look forward to the upcoming weeks and future courses. "   [hide]
