11. “"I knew that learning in a classroom was a social
interaction, but for some reason, I left that at the door
when I tried to teach on-line before this course. Now
I get it! And, I have learned that there are so many
simple (and free) tools on-line that can help me make
the experience more personal and more social.”

and personal connection with students, even in a

potential to create the same if not greater personal
connection between instructor and students.
