In this module I learned the importance of Keeping course records. In the past I have documented on Aeries, Canvas (LMS), made folders on my school Google Drive & a spreadsheet. I have yet to master 1 location that would benfit me, the student, parent, other teachers, & admin. Communicating with students is so important. Counseling students to a degree is important, but only when it relates to the class. Dealing with undesirable behavior...this is something I need to work on. I get so distracted by these people that I ignore the students that really want to succeed in the class. What I mean is, I want to save that kid from failing & often include them in the discussion & end up ignoring the kids that want to engage. Resolving student conflicts is my speciatly. I am not sure how successful I will be at this in an online enviornment. This will be an adjustment. Minimizing student attrition will be something I need to master, but I still need to figure out the "keeping records". That takes so much time away from everything else I need to do.
