It was interesting to see the various disruptive behaviors and how to approach each student type in an online format.

Reply to Lawrence Bufalino's post:I couldn't agree more. My school is fairly insistent that we have at least 1 hour of virtual face-to-face lecture time per online class meeting.

The biography exercise will be particularly useful. Given that my classroom is generally comprised of students with various learning disabilities, I think this might be useful upon returning to in-person learning, as well.

Simple delivery of content in a linear format is not enough. Instructors need to utilize a number of engaging activites throughout each module to keep the learner focused on the end goal, while actively gaining necessary knowledge during each activity.
