So important that both instructor and students collaborate on the learning models of this class 

communication is key as it helps both parties to maximize the learning tools to benefit the students so they stay on pace with the information dispensed.

 

Technology is moving so quickly that the learning tools are more advantageous for this and upcoming generational users google docs is a wonder tool for the classroom.

 

Like any new learning tool you have to understand the core concepts and principles then be flexible to implement the teaching process.

really appreciating these new concepts of both being the teacher and student simultaneously.

 

Really enjoyed the different types of assessment modules that can be used for evaluating for the desired outcomes.

I also use that discussions for assessment purposes, so that everyone has the responsability to participate in the… >>>

What I have found is that the old way of test taking is not working. The students are not really interested in book material, so every once in a while, I let the students write their own test as it relates to the subject taught and relevant material . It also give them a "Dog in the fight".

Believe it or not, many have similiar and a little above average test scores from the traditional way of testing which I have found very interesting. I also have them grade their own tests.

I also have random students write daily lesson… >>>
