This module reinforced the idea that we don't have to use all of the features of an online tool just because they are available. It makes more sense to assess the effectiveness of each tool and be selective with what we use. 

I plan to incorporate projecting my presence as subtly as possible. As the text suggests, having a presence, does not mean you have to dominate. As an instructor, I can do small things, like post scheduled reminders or email a student directly if I'm concerned about their lack of participation. 

As an instructor, it is important for me to understand the Course Management System that I am using. By doing so, I can provide students with the best learning experience possible.
