    Great ideas in this article to provide insightful feedback in student discussion posts. * Be professional and sure that the info is consistent * Be a good role model * Show your personality and humor * Include the entire class in any post * Use examples from your life * Ask further questions to stimulate more discussion * Create a bank of responses All great reminders for me to keep things fresh and interesting!
