In the field of cosmetology traditionally the course is taught through application and theory. However, with the surge of social media many trends and cutting edge techniques are being featured in video clips that are up-loaded in-line. Being able to use avenues such as these brings another dimension to the classroom, improving the dynamic of both teaching and learning.

I thought the list of questions posed during the "writing objectives" section are a great asset during those time the subject matter is so broad.

I've always kept my lesson plans in a folder for easy access. However, it never occurred to me to back them up in case of fire or any other tragedy. This is a tip I will employ in future semesters.

I can appreciate the idea of employing the use of "ice breakers" in the classroom. I've found that employing this strategy to ascertain the climate of the classroom works well. Even in cases where you may have former students taking another class with you.

I have found that the use of applying what is learned to what has already been instilled is quite effective in the use of memory in learning.
