Understanding how grit and flow really come into play was something that I had not given as much thought to so it was good to learn that.

I liked that what I learned fell right into how I view the world and my own life.  It helps to know these things so that I can make sure to exhibit them to the students and not just assume that they know them.  Everyone is at a different level in their own awareness and, as instructors, it is our job to help them dig deeper.

Understanding how to get materials for classes is just as important as developing the classes themselves.  We need to make sure that we are more than prepared when developing online classes.

I like the idea of the 7 points of good education as a way to help us as instructors to stay focused on why we are actually teaching online.

I am thinking of including more assignments that would include a video diary or video project as the answer instead of a paper or discussion post so that the students can feel more involved with the class.

Being that I love teaching online, I think it is important that all students have ALL the information about how online classes of any type actually work so that they can take ownership of their learning style and ability to commit to make the best choice as to what works for them.  It is a changing learning environment that we live in and it is important that education change to in order to give the best possible options for learning.
