Yes, the challenges keeps us on our toes as instructors. Also, if the student that ask the question was a millenium student or a student of the technology generation then they could have easily researched the answer and shared it with the class to strike up more challenges/interest and class participation. I understand that this generation wants to particiapate in shared learning, even with the teachers. It is no longer like it used to be where the students relied on the Instructors for the answers. Now with technology, the students can research the answers just like the Instructors can research… >>>
I like the participatory managing style because it gives the experience worker/students a chance for feedback and collaboration.
This tutorial was very helpful. Ithe will help me to interact better the different styles/characteristic of co-workers and students. We just recently did a similiar in- service called "True Colors".

I am preparing for online instructing and what I already know I am understanding it better. I think that this course was very good for assisting me to teach more effectively. It was a lot of information that I will need to review again. Some assessments I am already doing as a clinical instructor but I did not know the terminology for which some of the category is called. I will utilize what I have learned in this course to improve and revise the assessments that I already use for better results from my students.
So true, as one of the topics mentioned, "It takes a village!" Intervention sometimes happen too late because we did not communicate well to the student nor to each other. Most of all, we must practice being more sensitive to the students and their needs.

I just completed EL101 which is an online course and enjoyed it very much! I also completed ED311 which gave me new ideas about teaching and instructing my clinical students. I was just happy to know that this program offers courses for such subjects specifically for how to teach the clinical students. I really appreciated the opportunity!!!!

In one of the lessons, it explain that instructors are responsible for taking initiative and being assertive in communication. As defined by Carl Benedict, "assertive communication is a style/form in which individuals clearly state their opinions and feelings, and firmly advocate for their rights and needs without violating the rights of others(be sensitive and respectful)".
