Teacher-centered and student-centered approaches both have their places in virtual learning and assessing when to use which one will be key.

Make sure to set boundaries for when you do synchronous learning so you aren't expected to be available 24/7.

Make sure the instructor is comfortable with the technology used in the course, and do not have to use all portions of the platform.

I plan to utilize both my advisory council in Career Tech and student and administrator evaluations for making changes in my class.

Being consistent with feedback, and utilizing rubrics for assessments when necessary are important.

How to develop a syllabus and how to make sure information is scaffolded to reflect on prior knowledge and experiences.

When authoring, make sure to use consistent fonts, colors, and limit bolding.

I have learned how to manage students that may bring a challenge to the virtual classroom, and how to engage alienated students, overwhelmed students, disruptive students, etc.

One way I plan to implement online learning is through allowing for both synchronous and asynchronous discussions and provide timely positive feed back, while being conscious of how I provide critiques for my students.

I learned how important it is to have a personal experience with students even though it is in person such as providing a biography.
