Large group field trips may be impractical and difficult. Perhaps an assignment to study, interview or tour a facility would help students build networks, and become familiar with the local industry. This could even be a step in the interview process.

Lesson plans should be planned ahead. Have contingency plans in place if you are needed to redirect the class. 

Keeping PowerPoints clean and to the point is helpful to the students.

Having guest speakers, taking field trips, and keeping your classroom organized keeps the students engaged.

Your support materials are a critical part of your overall course. It is essential to stay up to date on tech changes because they can sometimes make your course more effective.
