Comment on Elizabeth Kinney's post: Having a user friendly and detailed system for keeping important communications/records is very important. Since all of the work is done online the instructor must differentiate between what is needed to be kept and documented on and what can be discarded. It would be easy to keep everything and become overwhelmed with excess documentation. 

Comment on Pamela Gabbay's post: I think  the suggestion to add new comments to keep the discussion going is very helpful. You as the instructor can also add new comments to direct the discussion to priority topics. 

Comment on Robyn Parker's post: Online learning is a new experience for many students and instructors. I think introducing yourself with the bio and picture will be very helpful. Having the students do the same is a great way for the class to get to know each other and for the instructor to begin knowing the individual students. 

Comment on Lisa Brown's post: I agree, there are many different components and variable to online teaching. It is important to be familiar with and knowledge of each of the components. 

Comment on Kathleen O’Neil-Meyers's post: Comment on Kelly Penn's post: I too am looking forward to trying many of the different activities. Keeping class informative and fun is very important! 

Comment on Sandra Byrnes's post: I also like the crossword puzzles and will research how to develop them. I think that would be a good tool for reviewing new words and definitions. 

Comment on Megan Fitzsimmons's post: I am new to Kahoot and just learning how to use it. I also like the games of matching and the ball toss for review.

Comment on Mary Patricia Dandrea's post: 

I learned the importance of repeating/reteaching the subject in various ways in order to maximize the student's learning. With the goal of making it fun! 

Comment on Kathleen Watts's post: I've learned many new and exciting ways to teach various subjects. I'm looking forward to implementing them! 

Comment on Wilhelmina Mensah-Aggrey's post: I think using the t-shirts and the full size sheet for demonstration and practice of A&P will be a very informative and fun activity for students to do.
