Time is a precious resource.

If we stay organized, it becomes easier to complete our tasks, and it saves us a lot of time. 

Comment on JUNE VASQUEZ's post: I cannot agree more. Organization is a every day task.

I appreciate the information that I am learning about time management.

I like to create a "to-do list" all the time, but thanks to this course I am learning better ways to prioritize and organize my tasks to manage better my time. 

It is crucial to help our students to stay motivated.

I knew that as instructors we need to find a way to continue stimulating the intrinsic motivators using extrinsic motivators, but thanks to this course I learned that even though extrinsic motivators are useful and sometimes necessary, they can be overused and have a negative effect.

Therefore, I will need to find a balance. 

Comment on Amanda Haddock's post: I agree with you. For nursing school is the same.

This course helped me to remember how important is to provide positive feedback and allow my students to take control of their learning process by encouraging them and providing a secure learning environment with security and autonomy.

As instructors, we need to keep changing and adapting to reach our students and keep them interested. It is not an easy task but I learned with this course many excellent tools and a variety of methods.

Comment on Michael Taylor's post: I agree with you. I noticed many TED talks have become viral on the internet because of their approach. I will keep it in mind when I am planning my lectures.

I am fairly a new instructor and each class still feels like the first class. I like how this course reminds me of the value of those first moments.

Comment on Jessica Guerra's post: I agree with you. Even if they have taken a class before, I am amaze how important is to get them the opportunity to know each other.
