Unit 1 Discussion: First Impressions

For the discussion topic associated with our first unit, let's share our impressions of Canvas as a tool for teaching and learning.

Instructions:

Consider the following questions: 

• How do you think you will use Canvas in your teaching? 
• What are some of the specific benefits that Canvas can have for students? 
• After reading through the articles in this module, what challenges do you think you will have to overcome?
• If you have taught online before, what do you see is a benefit to using Canvas? Do you foresee any challenges?

Now write a response to these questions in the Reply Links to an external site. box. Additionally, if you have any helpful resources related to getting started with teaching online you may share those resources here.
