Self-actualization becomes the goal.  This should be based on transparency...why are we doing this? If we want students to reach such lofty goals we have to give them the road may to get them there.

One of the biggest mistakes a lot of people learned in COVID was that on ground classes can just be put online and it all ends well.

The more time you spend organizing, the less chaos you will have in the class.

One of the big under talked things is that students do not feel asynchronous learning is as strong as synchronous. 

Tools are only good if students use them...period.

Evaluations and revisions are a mandatory part of the cycle of growth. 

Rubrics are essential but students need to understand the meaning and the expectation of them.  Many times it is just the number they are looking for.  

When students feel part of the group and that you are not wasting their time with discussions, they will participate. Sometimes it is in group, other times in vblogs, etc.  It may not be a traditional manner in which we see it.

Students must be at the center of the design.  Just because it is fance doesn't mean it will enhance learning.

The truth lies behind computer problems.  So many times it will be sold to you as a computer problem when it really is not.
