You’ve got a lot on your mind. Let this list replace the string around your finger.
A few things to remember while teaching:
Create and encourage a professional and fun sense of community
Get a sense of who your class is and how you can best work with them
Promote the extension of ideas – let it go unless you see things going in the wrong or incorrect direction
Try not to cut information – keep things open-ended, answer with a question or guiding issue that promotes discovery
Don’t change the subject too quickly
Don’t respond to every question but model your questions and responses
Praise in public (one to one or one to many)
Rebuff in private – usually via email
Provide accurate links and resources
Minimize the number of handouts online students need for the course. Having students go to their school in person to pick up handouts defeats the purpose of their working online
Be flexible!
