I did not realize that all coursework submissions have to be saved. It will be important to stay very organized.

I was very surprised to hear that asynchronous learning is the preferred style, but it makes sense that it would not be ideal as all students may not be available at the same time, which would essentially negate the whole point of the online learning perks.

I absolutely love the idea of sending a personal biography as well as having the students send their personal biographies! I believe this will help me to memorize names when there is also a story behind the name!

I appreciate how important it is for the instructor to understand the system that is used for online delivery and the importance of communicating with students well.

ChatGPT can be incorporated into the classroom in many ways such as developing review questions, tutoring assistance etc.

I am very surprised at the recommendation to use ChatGPT in the classroom! I see many of the benefits, such as the tutoring, or the assistance with lesson planning, but I plan to use plagiarism detection programs to assure that the students are putting in the work with integrity.

It will be very important to teach students the downfalls of using ChatGPT such as the fact that it cannot follow real-time events and that information ChatGPT provides may be outdated for rapidly changing topics.

AI is an incredible new up and coming tool. It is important to understand it’s capabilities to determine how it may impact the classroom, cheating etc.

I love the idea of the 3 clear points, 3 muddy points assessment.  I had never heard of this before, but it makes sense that it would be a great informal evaluation tool for students to identify areas of weakness. This will alert the instructor about a need for a plan to be developed to address the "muddy points" before a formal assessment of student knowledge is conducted. This can assure that the students can be successful on summative/formative assessments.

I am impressed by the idea of students providing feedback to each other.  Hopefully the two students' topics would be different so that they can learn about a new topic while providing constructive feedback. Also, I have found that utilizing the term "Constructive feedback" is less intimidating than "Constructive criticism".
