I learned how to minion clear communication with students and give them prompt feedback. I also learned to consider each student' strength and weakness. 

Challenging discussions and test.

In each of our courses, we have a section where the students introduce themselves and share some parts of their background and expectations for the course.  I make it a practice to answer each of these discussion posts within a day of posting.  In fact, I generally get online multiple times a day to answer them as soon as possible after posting.  I try to establish some level of rapport with each student by sharing something about their message that resonates with me.  I am a Navy Veteran and 80% of my students come from a background that is similar… >>>

Faculty should always model professional behaviors and communication in the online classroom. 

When students are not communicating properly or meeting expectations, faculty should always reach out privately to the student. 

When considering the use of technology, I think it is so important to consider the different blocks of population groups. For example Generation Z, this population is very good with technology. Baby Boomers, on the other hand, are often lacking in their technology skills. 

The rubric is a good way to establish expectations and communicate information needed. It also establishes elements of fairness for the instructor. 

Always be aware of… >>>

The most important thing about using social media is being sensitive with all content and practicing safe measures. 

There is so much more to online teaching then one would expect.

There is a lot to consider. I was very surprised to learn it takes so much time to 10-20 hours to provide 1 hour of content

I have a few take-aways from this course - I will encourage the CoP (Community of Practice) concepts with my colleagues.

To combat procrastination

• I will  offer to review assignments if they are turned in at least 48 - 72 hours ahead of the assignment due date.
• I will communicate frequently with reminders via announcements and emails

To help students with time management,

• I will include the approximate time other students took to complete an assignment - 45 - 60 minutes or 120 minutes, etc. 
• I will encourage students to plan for breaks in their studying and assignment time. 

La aplicación de juegos y simuladores en el aprendizaje de nuestros alumnos es importante ya que puede motivarlos y captar la atención y la imaginación del grupo de estudiantes.  Si bien toma mucho más tiempo buscarlos, analizarlos y aplicarlos, es también cierto que permite aprender de otra manera los contenidos que debemos desarrollar.  También a partir de lo que aprendí en los cursos tengo ahora más posibilidades para utilizarlos durante las sesiones en línea.  También comprendí que se pueden utilizar en las evaluaciones, si bien es más complejo, compartiendo experiencias con otros docentes se pueden resolver las inquietudes y dudas

Social media is not a bad thing as long is used with integrity. We can always learn and especially  stay up to date with new things that appear nowadays in social media.

In my online courses I use zoom for a weekly "live" virtual office hour.  This allows students to participate in a "live" discussion with me. They can ask questions of me and also discuss items with each other during this session.

In addition, I provide one on one zoom sessions by appointment so students can meet with me to discuss concerns or ask questions.  

I have a few students who struggle with good time management. I will utilize what I've learned through this course to help motivate them to become more organized with their time. I will encourage them to create short-term and long-term goals for the day, week, month, and class.

In order to establish a mutually respectful environment we should indicate what we expected of all student.  Then is important sign about discuss tone, appropiate language, and other develop protocols to uphold respectful and courteous comunications

Throughout this module, I’ve realized how important it is to balance structure and flexibility in online learning. One best practice I’ve found effective is setting clear expectations early and offering students multiple ways to engage—whether through discussions, videos, or assignments.

My action plan moving forward includes integrating more frequent check-ins and formative feedback to keep students motivated and on track. One challenge I often face is encouraging participation from quieter students, but I’m learning that personalized, private encouragement can make a big difference.

Success comes when students start taking ownership of their learning—when they ask questions, manage their time well,… >>>

Just sharing 1 challenge and that's language barriers. I had one student that didn't speak English at all and when lecturing I felt like she was just staring off into space. I had to use a translator with her to make sure she understood what I had just went over, I also informed her that more time was going to have to be put in by her to translate her reading from Spanish to English. I informed her that we could not put our assignments or quizzes or test in another language. She put in the work. When doing over… >>>

I actually was shocked by the information provided in the assessment. It revealed a variety of information and research causing readers to brainstorm and analyze the content. It was engaging, up to date with current events also filled with a variety of topics and interests. Furthermore,  the assessment initiates readers to analyze and develop open discussions and gives explanations that complement the research. 

I plan to use more social media in my online classes!

My biggest challenge with social media is blogging and networking. I learned the different between the two I do. #AndILearnedHowToPostOnMyInstagramPagesAndAllThatOtherButMyBiggestChallengeWasBloggingNowILearnedHowToBlockAndIwould be doing it in the near future. 

I'm interested in blogging. I have not done it yet. But I do encourage my students those that are interested in blogging or have done so to blog about their practice and what they do. I think it gives them more clarity on the direction they're going in and it can be impactive to their learning abilities.

Learning how to blog has struck an interest with me. I was always curious about it. This is cleared things up for being so in the near future I will be blogging from here on out and showing my thoughts with my student.

I have had success with checking on the students post discussions.
