There are many tools out there but they are of no use unless you know how to use the. Not all tools fit everybody and different types of people will use different types of tools and sometime find a different function for it instead of its function. Online technology can be very valuable to an instructor

The course made me think

I enjoyed the course overall, some of the questions did not follow with the video

I had just listened  to a TED talk so it was interesting  because then I read "We would all benefit from learning how TED talks are crafted".    This is useful because the primary goal is to change us, through education, and not primarily via edutainment.  If we want students to learn they only learn in the first 18 mins.

On the first day of class it is important to give a good impression

Being prepared to teach the class. The content, tone and delivery of asking questions is to encourage student participation in a group discussion.

Lead by example, dress professional, be clean, by on  time, be prepared. Greet your students. Know your subject. be excited about what you teach. Add humor if you can.

Implement a record keeping system. Keep to the policy of the institution.

Asynchronous discussions are best, more likely to get students participation. trust is a valuable tool and so is the kneed for the student to gain knowledge

share with a bio of oneself and make the experience positive
