Techno+Expression

={$page}=

toc

This chapter lays a foundation for online teachers to recognize K-12 and postsecondary students' needs to express their ideas and viewpoints, both within and outside the context of their coursework. There is a human at the other end of each web page, discussion thread, chat entry, blog, or wiki contribution. We outline specific strategies to create a safe environment for techno expression, and offer specific examples of how educators can model and encourage this expression through various technological means. We also describe various tools that instructors can use to facilitate the process. This chapter compliments chapters 15, 16 and 17 related to instructor and student engagement by looking at course design, effective online practices, and technological tools that give students opportunities to express themselves.
