I just completed EL 102 Teaching Online Learners. I found the course to be very informative and intersting. I am not sure I would like to be an online instructor.  I have been an online student and I have new found respect for the Instructors. 

This is a very good way to make a connection with the student and keep them interested in the course.

I do not think everything can be learned totally online. I believe somethings require hands on teaching. In my case I teach in an ultrasound lab and I think it would be impossible to do it completely online.

This is a very good course with great information. It helps instructors to remember there are all kinds of students with differnent learning styles and needs to be considered when making a lesson plan. It was also very helpful in directly addressing career college students. Good reminder of the importance of motivation in the class room.

I just completed ED104 Class room management. I truly enjoyed the course. I feel it provided some excellent ideas on how to better manage a class room and be an effective instructor. Great tips on dealing with disruptive students as well as helping to the quite student become more open and involved. I think this is a great course for all instructors.

 

I just finshed ED 117. I really enjoyed it and gained some very useful information. It is very important to understand the different generations and how they learn. I believe that every generation has something to pass on to the next. This generation presents a challenge because they are so obsessed with technology.

I like being connected and using the internet but I still believe reading is… >>>

I just completed ED116 Critical Thinking. I found it to be an excellent course. It had some great information and ideas that can certainly be used in the classroom. It has been a while since I have taken a course in critical thinking and it reminded me of how to use my critical thinking skills and apply them to problem solving. I was also reminded about how through the use of puzzels I can help my students develope their critical thinking skills. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve or refresh their critical thinking and problem solving… >>>

There has to be better ways to contain the cost of higher education than to cut teacher salaries.

Yes excellent point we must treat students with respect if we want to keep their attention.

Just completed ED110 time and stress management. It was an excellent course with some very helpful ideas and strategies that I will be able to apply to my work enviroment as well as my personal life. It is good to know I am not alone and that there are many effective ways to deal with stress. I believe implementing the time management ideas will be a great place to start making more time for things I enjoy and that will help to reduce my stress.
