7. The signpost of your destiny is becoming what you post
online. In our interconnected world, the only face
people will see is your name and what you share. To
refuse to share is to refuse to exist in technological
spaces where humans connect. #flatclass

Tip #8: If your teacher
mentions or spells a name

sure if you’ll need it later
just write it to the side

separate it so you know it
was mentioned but not
related to the larger topic
at hand.
Tip #9: When new things
that are important
are mentioned write
them in the key
terms column
Tip #7: If the teacher
starts going too fast and
you miss a time, don’t
spend your time writing
them down, you can miss
a few.

a pause, it often means
a transition to a new

The hardest part of any online meeting is having a successful start. Getting everyone there on time is important. So we start by teaching students how to enter a room by using the “Excite Method.” When first beginning attending an online classroom, I recommend starting to enter at least 15-20 minutes early or try it out the day before. It is amazing how many people don’t try a technology and just expect it to work. Test, test, and retest the technology. Students just walk into our face to face classrooms but we forget that it took a year to learn how to walk. Students need to give themselves time to learn how to walk into a classroom.
