The information presented in this module was useful. I still need more practical tasks, or examples of what it would look like to apply these motivation strategies to the class every day. I will use the suggested technics every day. I will plan to list them and apply consistently. I will follow this plan for 30 days in order to collect results and assess.

It is so refreshing to read about strategies to understand the demographics of our classrooms. These adults learners are our students and motivating them is extremely important. As well as keeping them engaged. If I don't know the people I am sharing the space with, how do I expect to keep them motivated?

This accelerated program will improve 100% with hands on activities at the level of the active learning activities presented in this online class. Adults like feeling independent and seeing that the concepts they are learning are applicable on a daily basis.

With the team, we will find the best time of the week to include these activities and hopefully we can combine classes to increase the networking effect of the assignments.

I knew about the importance of Peripheral Learning and yet didn't included in my classroom. After this online class, I realize it is time for me to include it in my current classroom and use it in the student benefit.

I will have a board with exchangable posters aligning with the lesson of the month. Once of the sections will be regarding the lesson of the day and another section will have my own mission for the day. I will also involve the students by asking them to submit or post on the board their learning of the week.

After this ED 101 class, I realized there are many options. Taking classes is one, when in the middle of the program the class needs a shift, came up with other direct solutions.

I like asking the student, what would you like to do in class different than what we have been doing so far? I… >>>
