Motivation is essential for students, it can help with difficult task.
Comment on Mark Johnson's post: Hello Mark, I agree. Students are watching our mannerism; therefore, you need to make sure you are always professional. Be consistent, this will allow your students to respect your conduct. And address them respectfully, even if they have a difficult day and they are disrespectful to you. You must show self-control. This is how students grow.
My first day, I like to open with an ice-braker. A good one is, you have the students to tell 2 truths and 1 lie, and the rest of the class have to guess, which is a lie. The students really get a kick out of it. Another one is icebreaker questions like; what day in your life would you like to relive? What was dream job as a kid? just to name a few. Icebreaker help students to participate and transition into learning experiences.
Make sure I review the curriculum and have the tools that is necessary for the class session. Make sure to have the major roles that are played for the instructor, which are Model; Manager; and Motivator. This will allow me to be prepared for my class.
I've learned developing relationship in e-learning environment can be challenging. When problem occurs you want to handle it quickly before it escalates. You want to contact your senior administrator and keep a record of all communication relevant to handle any behavioral problems.
I'm a Medical Billing Coder online instructor, what would be a nice icebreaker to engage my student. Do any of my teammates have a suggestion?
Comment on Pamela Gabbay's post: I agree, open discussion is good so that they can participate on the topic, also, you get feedback if they understand the material.
Comment on veronica Gottau's post: I agree with you Ms. Gottau, this will allow you to know your students and begin a conversation with your students. Allow them to feel you care about them and that your interested in who they are personally.
I learned that different instructors will teach different methods, and that is okay. I need to familiarize with course delivery techniques and strategies.
