Lead by example and communicate with your students.

I havn't really enjoyed the upcoming technoligy but it's the future and the students are 90% adapted to it. 

Knowing the objectives and how it relates to the lessen plan will make the transition smoother for the students.

Once you have all your lesson plans, you can add content each time you teach. Building better lesson each time around.

Even if you have a good idea what will happen with each lesson plan there will aleways be structure for each subjuct. knowing your students knowledge base will help gage the compression.

Always make sure the students know your policies or where to find them. 

Students that come in with lack of background knowledge is a big factor. I want to look at the K-12 education.

Visual media can help pull in some learners, after a slide show have a video demonstrating what the major points of the slide show.

Setting aside the time to grab all material and get your class in order before the students even enter the classroom or Lab is key to demonstrating what you expect from the student and also setting up how the student sees you.

I can recall starting my first semester as an Instructor and completly feeling overwelmed but looking to those more seasoned than I helped with the transition. Preplanning will greatly effect in a positive way.
