name tents sound like a very great thing
First day of class is the time when the instructor and students learn about each other. It is important that the students know the expertise of the instructor, also see the human part of their professor. The activity of students introducing themselves allows not only students know about each other, but also the instructor learn their names.
Ice breaking session with the introduction of self and the students.
I need to be prepared and not let them feel like strangers. We're all human.
Preparation for the first day in class is important to show students your dedication to not only to the course but the students as well. Learning their names as soon as possible will go a long way in helping the students relax and begin focusing in learning the material.
I like the notecard idea to learn about the students.
Get to know you students, personally and how they learn best
It is essential to get to know the student and for the student to get to know the instructor because it provides both the student and the Instructor a sense of value and respect.
It is important for the students to get to know you and you get to know the students in the beginning of a course, so everyone feels a sense of comfort and familiarity with one another.
I learned that I can do and apply various icebreakers on the first day of class to put students at ease and help me remember new student's name and other information about them. In turn, I will also share common information about myself to establish a foundation for everyone.
It's important to introduce yourself to students as well as learning something about them.
first impressions are super important and help the students feel more comfortable.
How vital first impressions are, as well as dealing with cohorts of students coming in where they all are on a specific comfort level with each other, and I am now seen as the "outsider."
Learning each student's name is vital in developing student rapport.
Getting to know your students is just as important. Introduce yourself and allow the students to introduce themselves.
Be prepared to present about what you learned from the course not just the night before is a great lesson for students.
Sometimes students have a difficult name to pronounce, I like the idea of taking a headshot of students. I can use the pictures to help me identify that person and come up with away for me to also learn to pronounce their name. (put in syllables)
