Send a warm "Welcome e-mail," and also remind textbook requirements, D2L course shell availability, and other tools that will help the students succeed in the class.

Use "Icebreaker" after individual introductions. Utilize breakout rooms for 3-5 students per room to share "favorite food," "first international city to travel post-Covid-19," etc.  Do this three times, then 1 time during the mid-class break, and 1 more at closing. Repeat every week.]]> 2021-06-18 02:33:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rockypebenito/d4tzeyg17th0sxq4/wish/1613515752 rockypebenito https://padlet.com/rockypebenito/d4tzeyg17th0sxq4/wish/1613528421 Revise all publisher textbook weekly chapter PPT slides. Currently, the publisher PPT slides are very text-heavy with very limited images. Use more images, photos, or clip arts to suit the content. Move all current text to the speaker notes section. Minimal use of text; use only for chapter headings and/or important concepts/keywords. Embed short, relevant videos to PPT slides. ]]> 2021-06-18 02:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rockypebenito/d4tzeyg17th0sxq4/wish/1613528421 rockypebenito https://padlet.com/rockypebenito/d4tzeyg17th0sxq4/wish/1613536972 Since most of my business classes are two hours long, I'll use the following strategies to make the class more manageable and relevant.

Utilize break times, "Let's take a little breather to stretch, get a snack, etc."

Continue to have currents events in the beginning of each class; the students really like this. However, to encourage more active participation, I will ask students to bring their own articles/links to share to the class. They will screen share.]]> 2021-06-18 02:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rockypebenito/d4tzeyg17th0sxq4/wish/1613536972 rockypebenito https://padlet.com/rockypebenito/d4tzeyg17th0sxq4/wish/1613578724 Use concise learning objectives at the beginning of each lecture, then summarize what they've learned at the end of lecture. Look for articles/links that cover learning objectives. For example, share an article about the recent Pipeline Ranson if one of the learning objectives is cybersecurity. 

Use the last breakout session and ask students to share with their classmates 3 things they've learned from the lecture..]]> 2021-06-18 03:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rockypebenito/d4tzeyg17th0sxq4/wish/1613578724
