I also have a wide range of students in class I often find that the older students can help the younger students with soft skills such as integrity and motivation while the younger students can help the older with technology.

Our school policy is that cell phones must not be used in class. While many have their opinions on this it can be a distraction in class. While this is difficult to control as many are addicted to their phones we handle this by giving the student a downgrade for the course they can not get more than 7 per course without failing the course. It is really a challenge to be consistent on this because of the diffrence of opinions on this topic. I would be interested to see how others handle this.

I find that hands on or tactile learning works the best for most students. Using a blended learning environment we introduce a new subject during a lecture then learn while Appling that knowledge hands on and review with a PowerPoint presentation.

It seems that every class is a little diffrent so often what worked with the previous class will not work with the current class because of diffrent learning styles, attention spans and intrest in the subject in general. How long does it take you to get a feel for wht works and what doesnt for a new class? It usually takes me about a week to get a good read on all of the students.
