I have learned of the importance of establishing authority in the online setting by posting my Bio, photo, and teaching credentials & experience. I have been reluctant to do this in the past due to a belief that it's not all about me...not really into self-promotion. However, after advancing through this module and reflecting afterward, I see now that it is important for the students (and possibly their parents) to see that I possess significant & relevant credentials, experience, and education in the specialty that I teach.
