Reflection

I do presently facilitate more than actually instruct.  As a technology teacher I am accustomed to students using technology more. However, students are not in a strong practice to review preexisting videos prior to class. And this does show in the classroom.

Flipping the classroom

This is a very helpful tool that I will try to implement in the future. Great course

ED 106

To improve on my listening skills espically in the area of what is not being said.

Need to Apply

This course has so many helpful suggestions.  I would like to implement as much as posssible to increase learning outcomes for my students.

Great Information

I learned a great deal about how to enhance student learning.  Some of the things covered I already do, which made me feel good about my teaching techniques.  Others, I will implement immediately to help students who might otherwise get lost in the shuffle.

Application

Applicaiton based activities help encourage participation.

questioning

Effective way to questio students and develop critical thinker would be open ended questioning.  I plan to ask more open ended questions by putting the questions in my leeons plans so that I will ask themand have the answers prepared.  Ask more students questions and allow wait  time.

What I Learned

I learned the importance of greeting each student at the beginning of each course to help them feel they are appreciated.  I also learned the importance of getting to know each student at the first class.  The importance of learning each student's name during this first class and identifying them by name at each subsequent class was also stressed.  I learned the importance of proper organization prior to the first class meeting.

flipping the classroom

Great course. I look forward to seeing where I can flip my classes.

flipped classroom

I am not going to flip my classroom, but I am in agreement with  alot of the methods and blooms taxonomy.  Students do learn from peers and project based learning and inquiry as well as cooperativ leraning is very important.  Rigor and relevance is the key to learning retention.

Assisting the Student

Great pointers from this class with regards to assiting students that may have a learning disability.  It is every instructor's desire for students to succeed, so great take-away/strategies for helping those who may have a slight struggle.

Flipping classroom

I think I will be partially able to flipp the classroom. Unfortunately, I do not see the ability to completely flip my classes, since they are overloaded with material needed to be taught. I will definitely try to implement some of the strategies I learned.

strategies

I will make a concious effort to implement these strategies into my classes. The course was very helpful

First training done

I got my first training done and have to post. I did pick up a few new things and have already seen in multiple classes the other items.

Group Work

I teach medical assistants and group work is a norm for us because we have hands on skills to learn and communication barriers to overcome. Because medical assistants are seers and doers, listening to lecture can be hard on them. During lecture I stop and show a skill or equipment and give them the chance to feel it and use it. When they can get their hands on it and do it, they immediately start grasping and putting into practice whatever I just lectured on. Also, they must have the chance to teach others. This is a big deal with healthcare… >>>

The Art of Educating and Teaching

Through my years in the education industry, I have found that there is no better way to learn than sharing your knowledge and understanding with others. Of course in the classroom, the first goal of the insrtructor is to instruct and to be instructed. Therefore, this could add a bit more stress when it comes to finding the rights words, and the right technique to impart knowledge.

I have also learned that in order to fill a bottle with the proper content, you need first to figure out whether it is empty, partially filled with the right matter, or even… >>>

FLIPPED CLASSROOM

A flipped classroom is one that inverts the typical cylce of content and application so that students gain the knowledge before class and instructors can guide students to actively and interactively clarify and apply that knowledge during class.  Students are more active participants in learning and thier interaction increases and students learn from one another. With more opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and therefore demonstrate their ability to use it, gaps in their understanding become visiable to bothe themselves and the instructor.

Creating an Accelerated Learning Enviornment

Developing, delivery and evaluation of training or instruction for students is the key to our students success in the class room. Being aware of these things while teaching takes preparation, skill and felxibility. The goal is to make the outcome for our students a positive and fruitful experience.

Learning techniques

When teaching something new, I first check students for any prior knowledge of material. then I teach by using oral drills accompanied by posters and diagrams that are

colorful. I provide examples as a reinforcement. Sometimes we break into small groups for problem solving activities. this helps all kinds of learners

study

Pay attention study and review again.
