Post 3:
I really enjoyed reading about the different ways in which your resource was inclusive. I really liked how you considered the length of the videos in your resource. A common occurrence I found with online courses this past year is the excessive amount of information I was given in lengthy videos/readings. I think a lot of what I watched/read could have been omitted so I am glad to see you taking this into consideration.
Thank you for sharing the ways in which your resource was inclusive. I agree with you that online courses are super inclusive in nature as they can be translated for all learners, and can be taken anywhere in the world. It’s crazy to think that this hasn’t always been an option, but we are lucky to live in a time of such opportunities.

I am a huge fan of brain breaks! I have never actually thought about just looking up a video like this and playing it for a class as opposed to leading my own brain break (kind of nice as it allows for the instructor to have a small break as well!) I think brain breaks are so important for students as it allows them to mentally rest and recharge, further improving their productivity and creativity.
Thank you for sharing this super informative video that was very eye opening when it comes to gender differences in mental health. I think getting the students to create a discussion post is a very fitting activity for this video/topic. Having them connect with other peers is also great as it allows for students to learn from each other and hear perspectives they may have never considered before. Great choice!
