I learned about the different kinds of lecturing and I am forming ideas on how to use all of those in the classroom.

Vary your teaching style to get the most out of your lecture, students and knowledge you have to offer to your class.
There are several different ways of learning and teaching
Promoting variety in presenting knowledge, promotes interest and engagement.
It would be nice to have a canvas area where we can share different modalities we use to teach. Like ted talks, high fidelity patient simulators, etc.
Preparation is important for every single class, even if you've taught that particular class 100 times. You have to be ready for questions that you've never been asked before, and new classroom situations. Every class should be unique, even though the same content is being covered.
Different delivery options help with students learning by keeping the students interested and engaged in learning. Students like variety to help keep them focused.
This module suggests practicing demonstrations or special teaching activities before class. I love the idea that, even as experienced educators, we should always continue practicing. Just as the best musicians practice decades into their craft, there are always areas to improve, add efficiency, and grow as a teacher. I do hope to continue practicing and improving my craft for years to come.
it is important to use a variety of teaching methods and be well balanced to have students consistenely engaged
The varying lecture styles was a helpful reminder for me. I do not lecture often but when I do I could use a different approach.
Hit the lecture as many different ways as possible so that you can as there are many different students in the class that learn in many different ways.
practice demonstrations first!
It is important to develop a rapport with students and vary instructional styles during class, It is also important to prepare demonstrations before class and limit the steps. Also, the attention span of adults is only about 10-15 mins so try to keep lectures brief and engaging.
Plan lesson in 5-7 short periods, using variety of learning styles.
Lecture is still an effective way to communicate but try to vary your class.
Make teaching exciting, creative, and passionate. Think of how you would want information taught and implement those strategies into the lesson.
Switch up your teaching styles and regularly assess how your students are responding to you.
I will ensure to vary the delivery of learning. Students have different learning styles.
I had just listened to a TED talk so it was interesting because then I read "We would all benefit from learning how TED talks are crafted". This is useful because the primary goal is to change us, through education, and not primarily via edutainment. If we want students to learn they only learn in the first 18 mins.
