Blogging can be a classroom tool to promote educational objectives and classroom communication. By providing clarity and purpose to assignments in a blogging environment, students may be more apt to complete the tasks. 

With microblogging, students can connect with the learning on a new level. They can utilize their own personal style and learning style to learn more effectively and share in a meaningful way. 

As faculty, we can use platforms to share content, like images, videos, and presentations with various groups of students, faculty and others. This learning opportunity can accommodate various learning styles. Rubrics should be tailored.

Social media can be a powerful tool to enhance online learning. It should be used professionly and responsibly with students to ensure there is benefit from the activities.   

Problem based learning promotes critical thinking

Rubrics may help students understand the requirements more clearly. Faculty act as facilitators in the environment. 

Students need clear guidelines to feel comfortable in the classroom and faculty need to be conscientious about their role in the learning process. 

Active listening helps students in many ways, including their ability to think critically and to retain knowledge. 

Taking the time we need to process what is going on will help us mitigate the risk of burnout. Also, having a confidant can help, along with taking care of ourselves physically and emotionally.
