I really enjoyed the challenge of preparing four lessons and getting to watch the recordings to reflect on my teaching ability. The challenge of working with students online allowed me to dig deeper in my engagement strategies as well as to learn to create engaging virtual tools and materials.

I gained a lot of experience with digital student interactions. This experience was definitely different from a traditional classroom, but I feel like I exercised a skill set of mine that I otherwise might not have, had I been in a physical classroom.

I was able to view many teachers with different teaching methods that I hope to implement in the future. I also learned about technology surrounding virtual education that I would not have known prior. The experience was great!
