Critical thinking is a skill that is becoming less and less utilized both in and out of the classroom. Helping students get used to critical thinking so it can become more common for them is a great idea. 

Having students take control of their learning is a great way to ensure the content is actually absorbed. Letting go and allowing students to lead might be uncomfortable at first, but it is worth it. 

Making sure everyone is doing their parts to ensure learning: instructors, students, institution (through reliable internet and incentives for instructors)

active learning is a student centered approach to learning and can be applied in all types of classrooms.

I thought that the fact that grants and technology were influential was very interesting.

I really like the idea of handing out swag to employment partners. I plan on doing this!
