Be sure to keep safety as the utmost importance.

Determine best courses to take in assessing students. Rubrics are a great tool in providing very clear guidelines for students to follow 

There are many positives for using simulation-cost, no harm to students, etc. Also one more tool in our toolbox that benefits students. The different learning styles are valuable to keep in mind. Those with similar learning styles do well to team up.

There is definitely value in competency based learning-it is important to have clear objectives and also see the nexus with the 3 areas from Bloom's Taxonomy

Students are more engaged because they are getting some control over the learning process

Active learning is a great approach to engage students

Really liked the statement the fear of things that will never happen. Also to not be afraid to ask for help as even seasoned instructors have "been there."

Great strategies for variuos types of behaviors you may encounter. Good to learn how to give opportunities if needed and how to remove opportunities when warranted. 

Great common sense strategies given in dealing with various "difficult" behaviors.

I love the iea of icebreakers-so valuable. I really liked the airplane one-never heard of that one before. Also very important to have clear guidance about late assignments and stick to it for all students
