Please do not use the same comments for the students papers.  They will talk...you will feel silly.  Example, one time I called 3 people Steve...ugh.

Students need to understand the difference between their social networking and your professional networking....and the boundaries.  Also understand there will be some students (usually older) that do not want this in their class what-so-ever.

Social media is becoming a bigger part of our everyday life, i think it does make sense to include it in teaching but keep in mind to be respectful and mindful of what is shared online. As you never know who will see it and what kind of impression the reader may take.

It is well worth your time and energy!

Just because students come from a digital generation doesn't mean they know how to accomplish things in an online course.

I have learnt the importance of establishing social environment for online learning

I have learned that it is important to do a self analysis inventory. It is also important to have self motivation and good time management skills and remember whether you are face to face or online your special need students are important. 

As in most, if not all online classes, procrastination persists. Time management is crucial in helping to meet and/or exceed deadlines. Incorporating communication of all due dates on the syllabus and giving this information to students on day one may be extremely beneficial for students. 

Great explanation. I have learned a lot from it and students have many different ways to enhance their learning.

In this module I learned that communication using social networking and social media are different. While it is important for students to apply this, it must benefit them in a way that will allow them to "network" with others while using social media responsibly.
