Establish a good relationship with your students and with each other. make a discussion/biography about yourselves and have the students create one so they get to know you and other students behind the screen.

This part showed me that there's a lot more to teaching online than just sitting/standing there instructing. There's an immense amount of communication and more structure and discipline needed on both ends of the screen.

For students with TBI/PTSD, it is a long and continuous road of learning. Knowing when to ask for help when needed, and the instructor being prepared with the information will make for the student's success

I learned more information about people with disabilities and how to help them. IEPs are fairly new to me, but it was great information to have just in case. This will truly benefit the students and their success.

This section continues to inform of the differences of TBI and PTSD. I didn't know about the difficulties each comes with.

This helped with my understandings of different types of PTSD there are out there. I'm glad it is always being updated, so it helps us be more aware if and when it is present. It can make such a huge impact on someone's life when it is treated or sought out.

Make a connection by learning the student's name. Show them that you care about them. Break the ice for you and all the students in the class.

Have a morning checklist and be prepared with a plan.

Be the example you wish your students to take on. Continue learning and growing to implement that information to them

Motivation is brought by both parties. With the instructor it has to be with the lectures, the information given to the student, the materials practiced, demonstrated, as well as the experiences. With the student, it has to be brought out. Make it exciting for them to want to come to class, be empathetic and understanding that we are all human and we have a life outside of school/work also. Be flexible, but motivate!
