This forum covered many topics that will strengthen me as an online teacher. This forum gave me the understanding that the internet provides many tools that allows for increased connectivity between students and teachers, students and students as well as students and content. There are various ways that the internet maximizes student engagement. Embedded links, blogs, videos etc. provide students the ability to explore and retrieve a plethora of information to enhance any lesson. I will be sure to use and incorporate many of the resources and tools that the internet has to offer to engage my students.
