Krystal, You are correct in that there are many things to think about. Thank you for your input in such an organized fashion. Considering convenience for the students may also mean that you do not meet synchronously at the same time for each class meeting. They can operate in an asynchrouous environment as well. This takes planning. Providing information in a detailed fashion (and organized) is helpful. You are exactly right. I also like the fact that you are discussing diagnostic assessment - what do the students know. Sometimes it's fun to begin a lesson, teach a little bit about content that students are not familiar with and then ask them 1) What do you think you know? and 2) What do you want to know. It many times motivates them to want to learn more. Thanks again for your input.
