I am still learning and enjoyed learning  in the Adaptive learning course.  I will incorporate  key skills like playing games, having fun, progressing to higher levels, earning points, earning a higher status, completion and others, appeal to a wide variety of students in my class.

I am still improving on my skills as an effective instructor. I still rely too heavily on power points and lecture as a teaching method. I have incorporated a couple of games into my class time however some students feel they don't have "time" to play games and just want to know what is on the test. I will be starting a new term next week and I have planned on using some video learning, group projects, and case studies.

A key element in lesson planning is confering with professionals in the field to determnine contemporary issues and best practices.  We need to stay connected to the field rather than use pure academic resources and materials.
