I learned that rubrics can serve as a very useful tool with online learning. Students should already be famiilar with rubrics and once explained, they should know the teacher's expectations when posting in discussion boards. It reminds me of my experience with obtaining my degrees via distant learning. 

I've learned that even though we need to teach our students how to effectively communicate, we must also find ways to keep them engaged via online learning.

I have learned that online learning may be the wave of the future for students K-12. With that being said, instructors/teachers may need to prepare Code of Conducts handbooks and ensure that their students understand exactly what should and should not be acceptable via online learning. 

I have learned that the use of technology is more essential than it has been in the past. It's very important to teach our students which options are best as it relates to certain situations.
