Identifying appropriate methods for teaching involves selecting strategies and techniques that align with both the course objectives and the needs of the learners. Developing clear guidelines ensures that students understand expectations, procedures, and the resources available to them. Incorporating thinking breaks throughout lessons promotes engagement and allows students to process and reflect on the material, enhancing retention and understanding. Organizing content and materials in a structured, logical manner ensures that students can easily follow the course flow and access the necessary resources. Establishing a consistent pattern of teaching, including routine activities and assessments, helps students build a sense of stability… >>>

In this module, learned that choosing the right technology for an online classroom is essential to creating an engaging and effective learning environment. It involves matching tools with the specific needs of the course, such as using synchronous tools like Zoom for real-time interactions or asynchronous platforms like Google Classroom for flexible learning. The goal is to align the technology with the learning objectives, whether it's for content delivery, collaboration, or assessment. Tools like video platforms, interactive quizzes, and collaborative software can enhance student engagement and foster active learning. Regularly assessing the effectiveness of these tools through student feedback, performance… >>>

I learned its important to deal with disruptive students right away. and that online learning is difficult for some students

I really gain important techniques on how to teach and manage different behaviors that can affect your classroom management.

Various technologies are available to keep online learners actively engaged in the learning process. I intend to check out the following: ClassVR and Orlando Economic Partnership, as I think both would benefit nursing students.

I learned to address behaviors out of the gate about what may cause a student to be a non-participant online. Examples are avoidant, competitive, and dependent among others

Inactive learning occurs when students disengage from the learning process. This can happen for several reasons. Instructors must be prepared to connect with the students, observe them (or their online activity), and respond accordingly.

Passive learning is almost always necessary prior to active learning occurring. For example, I used passive learning when I conducted a pre-briefing session prior to a simulation. I presented students with the background information they needed to know to care for the patient and engage fully in the simulation.

Great idea for the syllabus to have hyperlinks to outside resources.

Its very important to establish your authority from a distance so the students will give you the credibility you need for them to listen to your instructions.
