In our Canvas workshop, I learned that there are a ton more resources available than I had originally imagined, from activities created by other instructors, to ways to customize your course beyond the basics. Super excited to play with these and use them in my classes!

From dwayne, I am curious, how many “Gut feeling” exercise emojis in your view were positive,negative, or neutral? ...What are your thoughts about equity, was it balanced, why would it matter and how would our students’‘ “affective domain’ be influenced? What are their perspectives, and what other fun experiences and techniques can we use to increase their (our) motivation and momentum?
