Building professional relationship with students improves trust, engagement, and learning. It supports confidence and patient safety while maintaining clear boundaries, fairness, accountability, and respect in clinical practice. 

Blogs should not be assessed only by the number of posts. The teacher should evaluate the quality of the content, relevance, reflection, interaction, use of sources, and connection to the learning outcomes. Students also need clear instructions and examples of good blog posts.

I learned that microblogging can make online courses more active and interactive. It helps students share short ideas, ask questions, follow experts, discuss course content, and summarize what they learn.

We learned that media hosting and sharing sites can make online learning more interactive, flexible, and meaningful. They allow students to create videos, audio, images, blogs, wikis, and digital portfolios, not only to consume information but also to produce knowledge.

 social networking can improve online learning when it is well planned, connected to course objectives, and properly assessed.

Meeting students where they are at includes their comfort with technology and social media.  Incorporating video messages, getting a Google phone number, and communicating clearly and concisely is my plan at the beginning of this new course.  I am sure the students will let me know what might make their success in this new course more probable.

Clear communication will support efficiency in the course and help students feel more secure about their progress.  Affirming and assuring students through feedback is important and will help motivation when the going gets challenging.  Professional clear communication modeling gives students examples of how to conduct themselves in professional settings. 

I think the idea that students are very comfortable with videos rather than having to read an e-mail announcement.  I will get more comfortable with making videos to underline points or make an announcement.  I am trying to meet the students where they are at and increase my communication quality.

We use the 7 principles of learning because they help improve student success by promoting active learning, clear expectations, timely feedback, and strong interaction between students and instructors.
