It is imperative that we get to know our students early on and recognize the catagories of e-learning they may fall into.  But more importatly, I have learned some tools and techniques to address different types of e-learners and how to make it a more safe, more welcoming, and fun way for all to participate!

I've learned that online teaching requires more planning and preparation than face-to-face in order to compensate for the lack of face to face expressions, differenot styles and to help facilitate asynchronous participation.
