Institutions should develop a protocol for instructors to follow regarding the use of all types of information!!

Setting a good example for our online as well as in classroom students is so important.

Understanding fair use and copyright laws is so important and this is an area that I am not clear on. This lesson clarifies and answers many of my questions.

I will be more aware when adding images or videos to ppts to make sure credit is given to the author. I will also be more aware as I am grading my students work to make sure all information is properly cited.

I feel critical thinking is a skill that we must possess to be successful. Unfortunately, this is a skill that many students are deficient in!! We can help them build this skill through active learning!

Comment on Itzel Gutierrez's post: This is so true!! I am tech challenged and I have struggled with this aspect of teaching. The training for instructors just is not there and I have had to teach myself or reach out to coworkers for help and guidance!! Sad, but sometimes students become my teacher when it comes to tech issues!

I have found that I enjoy teaching so much more when active learning is involved!! I love seeing and hearing the students debate and discuss the topics and thoroughly emmerse themselves in the course information. This also lends itself to students building relationships with their peers!

I feel it is so important with the students to acknowledge their feelings and emotions and I think at times that can be a struggle. This is especially difficult when I feel the student could be achieving so much more!
