I have learned so much teaching in a virtual setting and that has not come without a major learning curve. I learned that preparing well in advance will help avoid technical difficulties and allow lessons to flow smoothly. 

My goal now is to research local/national resources for veteran students and be prepared to offer that information when needed. I will also like to research potential signs of depression/suicide so I can be equipped and know how to properly handle that situation should it arise. I am currently making a list of positive changes to make in my classroom to better accomodate my students and enhance their learning experience. 

My main takeaway so far is that all students are different, they learn differently, and they need to be engaged in a variety of ways that enhances their learning experience. I am excited to continue with the course and find some helpful ways to navigate a class with veteran students as successfully as possible.
