Group discussions (large and small) as well as group projects were particularly helpful because it allowed us to still have some interaction between students.

no work just for the sake of giving work or having something to do, more work that we can learn from and collaborate with others on, just as we would in the classroom, also I like the idea of padlets!

We were able to do group actives using technology that we wouldn't have discovered without remote learning that ended up being super beneficial

- Don't keep us on too long if the conversation isn't really going anywhere. I think if people are struggling to talk and not really adding much to the conversation, it doesn't make sense for any of us to stay online.

listen to student feedback and ask for feedback consistently, class is more enjoyable when it is not necessarily student "lead" but when the students can pick kind of how we learn about specific material, as well as coming up with fun/innovative ways to assess learning, not just assigning essays/presentations but being creative as well

discussions when people are eager to participate is probably the best use of class time online. i'd also say just patience with students is really helpful because a lot of us feel more stressed working online and under the current circumstances

2. try to do different things each class, rather than keeping each class exactly the same
