What is a seasoned instructor and why is it important?

Students are smart and they will know if an instructor is prepared and has the mastery of the subject matter.  They will know if you are sincere and caring because you touched the very core of their being.  With these, students will be shaped not only and excellent but an extraordinary nurse.

Setting a time limit

Students often don't post in a timely manner making it hard for other students to make replies to keep the discussion moving forward.

Classroom Management Styles

I have currently completed the first module of "Management Styles". 
In this module, I learned the four (4) types of management styles and noticed that I'm more of a "buddy" / "controller" type instructor and need to make some adjustments to achieve a more "Guide" style of classroom management. 
The first and most important adjustment that's needed is "planning"; especially planning for those times when one's lesson plans gets interrupted due to technical difficulties involving computer and or smart board malfunctions. In combatting these, one can have a back-up laptop and or iPad. As for smart board malfunctions, I could have a print out of the power point lecture and have students follow along on their laptop and or iPad.
Have any of you guys have had a situation relative to these and how did you overcome the obstacle(s)?

Non- Motivated Students

What are some strategies you guys find useful to motivate students to fully participate in the class from the beginning of a semester. Often times I feel like I lose a student before the interesting part of the course work even begins. Especially if the course is slow in developing.

Managing the Class & Students

Any ideas for encouraging a shy student to the importance of participating in group assignments when getting complaints from his/her peers the student does not comply or miss deadlines without communicating delays to the group?

Managing the Class & Students

It seems like whatever method the instructor uses to get the student not to bring a phone to class the phones reappear.  There need to be a stronger penalty.  Any ideas?

Phones

Has anyone found a solution to the problem of managing phone use in the classroom?  I want them to learn self control and don't want to take them up, but it seems to be a never-ending problem.  Especially when others in the school don't follow through.
