I say ditto to Dr. Cuseo's comment. "you" are the most essential
element; everyone is your customer. Keep a welcome atmosphere. You'll find
your needs as you talk with anyone; this is my first year as an LMS and
I have so much I want to do and so little time; I am happy because I
know how to "stop" and let it flow; I know how to have another life. I
love my work; and I'd say my relations with students and faculty and
admin is most important. I always take breaks from my computer to help
others; I'm not getting the work done at the computer that I want to get
done, but I am working on my relations and helping my customers. Good luck.

I would say the most essential element is not a website or a reference
book - but it is you. One must like teens - be a willing listener - be a
counselor - be a teacher- friendly but not a friend -be fair- be consistent
and be firm.... The books, the websites and all the rest will come -- don't
worry about it.
