I have learned about the importance and need for critical thinking in my classroom. Students do not need to just memorize facts and complete assignments. Students need to learn how to critically think through each problem and exercise. Theses skills will help them be successful in their lives and careers. 

What I have learned in this module is the importance of active learning in an online environment. Active learning is always important, except it should be greatly enhanced in an online environment. Each student should be actively engaged to help them be successful. 

What I have learned from this topic is that many students expect to be fed the course's material. Many students are under the assumption that they will be fed the course's material. I intend to make that clear early in my course that this will not be the case. I will ensure that each student properly learns the material and is engaged in their course.

Active learning is a great tool that should be used in each class. Each instructor should take an active learning approach in each class. Each student in each class should be engaged by the instructor. Students should be engaged with the course materials through case studies, problem solving, discussions, and other methods for each class.
