Positive of AI is the potential as a creative learning tool and the negative is the possibility of cognitive decline. 

As prompts for good questions to quiz class or ways to spark creative study.

I have learned that AI is truly still a tool that can be both in positive and negative ways based on the user and our tendency to find the most convenient ways to do things that negatively affect our capacity for basic concepts in life and learning.

Motivating your students is an individual process that takes time and true dedication to really undertand them and help them succeed!

The REFOCUS teaching tool was a revelation for me!  Even though some I know I had done before, it was nice to have it organized in a way to help keep the class and myself excited and focused on the material through the entire course.

There are so many ways to engage the students.  I really like the ideas of creating fun challenges as groups without getting competitive to a fault.

Every student that walks into class is carrying so much into that room. ... unique experiences, worries, doubts, wit, perspective.  It is so important to remember that when I am working to motivate, encourage and draw out the best from them!

The lecture in 10-15min blocks of time and the fact that demonstrations should be 5 to 7 steps at a time was very informative!

I really liked the index cards idea where you are able to connect with each student.  I have seen in the past how students appreciate when a teacher relates what they are teaching to real-world experience. 

Importance of laying out goals, expectations, grading, etc. with the syllabus.  Also, the usefulness of checklists to make sure I don't miss anything if the flow of class is interrupted.
