This section is Teaching us about the Different ways to use online teaching and sites to keep out students interacting with class. We have to make sure we are using these sites and different online sources corretly and knowing how to explain how to use them to the students so they do not get lost.

We as teachers need to make sure to do assessments for the students to help them learn. Giving them a few questions or topics to have a conversation about and not grade them can help show what they are learing. Also Giving the student feedback , positive or negitive , can help the student learn. Need to make sure the negitive feedback is given in a way that the student wont take it as offensive.

What I have learned so far is to be CONSISTANT. Make all modules have the same layout . This will make it easier for students to find the information they are looking for. Also need to chunk information. Small chunks of info at a time is easier to digest for the student then very long , drawn out lectures or videos and will keep the students attention.

This section of the course teaches us how to deal with the different types of E Learning students. I have delt with each one of these types of Students as I have been teaching online. I have Learned to catch the ones that will be disruptive early and let them know that this will not be allowed. Also the ones that are not likely to be involed you will really need to push them and get them Involved or they will be lost and once the student gets lost it is hard to get them back on track.

This section is showing us how to make a connection with our students. By Writing a Short Biography showing how long we have been working in our respective Field and our certificates and Licenses it will show them that they are being taught by someone that knows what they are doing but also someone that cares about what they are teaching. This will be the first step in making the Student , Teacher bond that you will need for online teaching.

In Order To be a Great Instructor I will need To make sure I am on top of all current Information about the Subject I am teaching and The Current CMS I will be teaching on. I will make sure to ask for feed back from my Student and Fellow Instructors to make sure I am getting all the Information to my Students and allowing them to absorb the information in a way they will remember.
