Students primarily use email to communicate with teachers

It's helpful to use synchronous discussion with individual students

It's important to engage students and demonstrate content knowledge.

I have learned to support students in both their learning of content and their use of the LMS.

Online learning relies heavily on technology. Therefore knowing the how to access the help desk to get tech support will be necessary.

I have learnt that strong online learning should be filled with lots of fun activities. Getting students involved will through these fun activities.

Comment on Amanda Vickers's post: Yes, this can be difficult to do. Nowadays people tend to read too much into what is being said. It can also apply to social media posts or text messages. Its a difficult rope to walk. 

I thought it was interesting to learn about asynchronous discussions as well as learning about constructive feedback in student posts/comments.  

I have found that its important to allow for students to own the discussion and for teachers not to over dominate the conversation. There is a specific time (and that's during the instructional part) for teachers to do that. The answers and engagement is for the students. Teachers just facilitate this part.
