Although I teach online and students can't see my body posture, I know that influences my behavior.  I may transition to standing during part of my lectures to embrace the authorative stance discussed in the lesson.

Comment on matthew watkins's post: I support this answer, having a format on topics will be helpful. 

I have learned that attentions spans will vary but to keep this in mind as well as learning styles. Trying to incorporate different styles will be helpful. 

Learning names and modeling appropriate behavior will be important. Motivating each student as a class will keep up the excitement of learning about new topics. 

Comment on Jonathan Howdeshell's post: I support this answer, expectations from the beginning and how to treat each other will help them understand the value they can take away from the course. 

Comment on Mayra Gonzales's post: I agree this is important as it shows the students you are ready and prepared. 

Setting goals, planning ahead of time and being clear with the objectives and what the students should expect is what I took out of this course. The importance of dividing the course up in to logical units will be a focus. Arriving early is crucial in showing the students that you are prepared for the day. 

This course focused on as an instructor I will be focusing on career development. The technical knowledge will be transferred to a more comprehensive format. As adult students have a wide range of experience and motivations coming in to a program, this will differ in the fact that you are teaching individuals from different backgrounds and experience as say younger students. Development in teaching strategies will be an area to continue to focus on. 

Good testing topics to consider and apply in class.
