Amy, Nice post, you can lock it down; but I don't share grades or classroom work or assignments; it is about the content and/or professionalism. I also evaluate and give feedback offline. I actually use the journaling feature in my LMS to give feedback regarding social media. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Dori, Great point. It is interesting to me students think they can say anything (because they have the right to) and are shocked when there are ramifications. We require our students to take a social media workshop as freshmen so they begin to develop their persona as a professional. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Assessment

Dori, You said the magic assessment word for me; model appropriate behavior. It is good to have the rubrics but students need to see what is a great communication tool and why. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Joi , I don't know where to start with your great post! I too think students underestimate the time it takes to prepare for class and homework. I am now seeing more of this in my f2f course also. I too setup a calendar to help them plan. It is important continue the repetition regarding communication. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
