Thank you. I mainly teach lab which is interactive and hands on, but I do have several other subjects that are primarily from the text book. I have been trying to incorporate more active learning in these subjects. I've had the class work together for 20 mins. on the lesson from the text book and let them each come up with the lecture on that particular lesson. They could research further on the computer. It seemed to go fairly well, but they did not work together as much as I thought they would. I still believed that they did learn… >>>

I have incorporated verbal reports, having a student teach a one subject in the class,& open discussions. But I have some subjects I am just not sure how to get away from lectures. I personally do not like lecture classes, but haven't found away of changing them. Any other suggestions?
I tried aninteresting technique to help motivate my students and to make the class more interesting. I had the students do the teaching. It was a spur of the moment idea during class, I told them I was tierd and they could teach the class. They all pitched in and read the lesson as well as discussed the lesson. We had alot of laughing and joking but I believe they learned and were most definately motivated. JBurk
