Here I gathered more info about which interactive tools to use for different scenarios.
I'll apply the learnings by using the different options more often, and strategically.

I also was refreshed on the idea of using external tools, so I'm interested in finding some that I like for future use.

I appreciate the way this section contrasted various ways the same information can be presented. Emphasizing validation can enable teachers to communicate the same information more effectively 

This module emphasizes the importance of social interaction in the online environment. Regardless of academic trends, students still benefit more from face-to-face interactions than from simply watching or reading things online. 

This section demonstrates that online students are rarely traditional students. Instead, they are often students who are juggling work and familial responsibilities. Also, these students are generally trying to advance their careers rather than start their career paths

I have learned about the importance of alliances for retention. Students need to feel a sense of belonging both inside and outside of the classroom. I was surprised by the degree to which belonging factored into retention rates. I intend to work on getting better at responding to emails. Since this is one of my three jobs, I find that I often neglect my emails 

Being an effective communicator is important for students to understand that they can come to you with questions. Assisting students through navigating online courses is helpful. Using nettique when using online platforms should be done consistantly. 

This module has been effective in describing alternative way students learn. 

Technology in the modern world is a fast process and must be maintained at an average process. The current trends of emojis can be misdirected and misunderstood. Keeping up with new processes that work for online learners is important. Self motivation and writing skills are as important as virtual collaborations.  

Students having the flexibility to complete work in a self directed approach can help with individuals personal life. 

I learned the value of intentionally breaking things down into smaller segments, and including check-ins or opportunities for engagement.
Also about how I can use different tools to facilitate learning.

I do check in with students and look for ways to keep them involved during online sessions, but I can aim to do so even more.

And as far as tools go, I mainly ask people to either speak up on mic or respond in the chat.
Whiteboards, polls, and breakouts have been used sparingly by me... So I can see myself bringing those tools in more regularly.
