It is important to remind students of the resources and who they can reach out to for technical support so they are not overwhelmed by these issues and can get quick resolution.

I will find ways to continue to solicit feedback from students and encourage participation.

I will encourage students to talk about themselves to get to know them better.

There is more to being an instructor than just knowing how to teach students, we must also know how to be able to use the course system and stay organized.

It is important to vary my learning methods to fit the content I am teaching and meet the learning needs of my students.

Students should have an opportunity to meet each other as well on the first day of class. Having some sort of ice breaker questions will help for each person to get to know one another.

Just as important as it is to have clear expectations from the students, it is important to set the expectations they should have of me as their instructor and then continue to follow through with meeting these expectations each day.

I learned that though I will not be a manager with direct reports, I will still be needing to manage the learning environment. Additionally, while I cannot always motivate every student, I can still do my best to make the learning environment exciting and continue to motivate students to show up to class ready to do their best.
