Small talk gets the ball rolling. Even if it's off topic, there's usually a convoluted way to steer the conversation to the topic at hand. If not, at least it breaks the ice.

Essay Questions

Open ended answers are difficult grade since incorrect or even irrelevant details can offset the core, correct response. Feedback in the way of questioning can help direct the student to trim, focus, or redefine their understanding of a concept.

Suggesting work be completed via group activity sounds too open ended. Definitely take charge in creating the groups, and have them solve or complete a simple/short activity to break the ice.

How is it going now?

I started instructing several years ago, and I recognized a lot of personal errs and successes highlighted in ED101. It's definitely a valuable course for someone who is new to instructing.

Although the content of what we teach is different, we are still preforming the same job. New ideas for content delivery, media, and student interation are always welcome.

Wouldn't the bulletin board be in violation of FERPA? The test I just took used a scenario of a recruiter sharing personal anecdotes about a current student:

Sharing personal anecdotes about current students violates the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) which prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of student information.
