Modern day students are less likely to prefer receiving content and information from instructor than on their own. Provide student with avenues to research and answer tasks.

Technology teaching is very useful for students to learn more. I do more hands on so using camera will be challenging to certain ways to do a prodedure for state certification.

Teachers who clearly establish expectations and craft consequences, both positive and negative, relative to those expectations are facilitating a learning environment in which students are more likely to choose the behaviors sought from them. Students need to know the positive outcomes of preferred behaviors as well as the less desirable outcomes of not meeting expectations. Students need to be held accountable for their choices.

I believe in giveing students a variety of choices in how to accomplish assignments.  As it was stated, individual or as a group, it gives the student full atonomy of how an assignment or presentation is presented.

 

Technolgy is the way of the world today. The flipped classrom model was very helpful to engaging student to be successful in their learning.

Gola-directed behavior is a good process where the students are in control of their own academic progress. 

 

Bringing new technology into the classroom is always a good way to reach students with different learning technique

 

I have started using different learning tech to use with my students. I try using virtal videos or pictures of real life sugeries or injuries wounds etc. Just so the students can see what it really looks like. 

I practice flipped classroooms all the time as it fits the organic intellectuaty of my students. The students also appreciate personalized tasks based on their interests that require technology.

This section was very helpful in discovering many ways to get students engaged actively in learning.

Video taping lecture and using class time to emphasize key points in the lecture material is a good idea, teachers need to consider ways to effectively reach these new learners and embrase new techniques

 
 

 

Students’ learning styles and preferences are impacted by the period in which they grew up. Net Generation students differ from Baby Boomers and Generation X students in a number of ways. These differences require teachers to consider ways to effectively reach these new learners.

It was very interesting learning about the Net Generation and how using technology can enhance their learning.  Video taping lecture and using class time to emphasize key points in the lecture material is a good idea.

 

flipped classwork has benifits to help students be successful and be more active in class

This course has made me more aware of how to use technology and to strucure the classroom to students who, solely, rely on technology.

I admire the uses of technology in learning and the online questions. Tech. has aided the possibility of student learning where they 

could not even get to class. However it can be a challenge for those who lack computer skills! Thank goodness for grand kids.

Very intresting read. Understanding the "Net" generation, born, 1982 & beyond, the Generation X, born 1965 to 1982, & the baby boomer generation, born 1946 to 1964, is a very good start to undetstanding learning methods of todays students. Although not all stundents fall specifically under these " generations", it is a good guide when aproaching teaching methods for specific students. Also social & economic back grounds are important to consider. As "baby boomers" are more read & remember learners, the "net gen" are more research & look up learners.

The "Flipped Classroom" is a model that I have already been using to some small extent & entend to expand on more. This is being set up thru the new text books I am moving to. Having the students read the text, & do tests & worksheets, & watch other recources ouside of class time. How I am going to reinforce this is to use class time ...

  • Use activities to interact, apply & evaluate the students.
  • Do guided descussions.
  • Limit lecture time to key items.
  • Question & answer sessions.
  • Brief review of content.

 

Engaging the students thru tech, I will be using discussion boards from time to time, using links to other industry experts demonstrations. As well, I will be adding "web quests", where the students need to use the web for research assignments. I am thinking 1 paper limited to a msingle page, per unit learned, but will evaluate this I it moves along.

 

Lastly, I want to make activities a "want to" not a " have to" experience.  I will be setting up the lab activities so that students ( up to a point of lab space), can choose what they start first, such as the mock ups, or the bench projects.

 

 

The concept of net generation's and the flipped classroom model was interesting. I've wondered how useful instruction is when students could look it up, but it's a stark difference when the scenario/application isn't exacly like it is online. Learning critical thinking and problem solving skills are areas that require live application, and it's awesome that educators can facilitate it.

To be honest, I am not truly interested in knowing all there is to know about technology. I much prefer to use a number 2 pencil. Because I didn't grow up with it and because it doesn't interest me too much, it makes me pretty nervous to be teaching the Net generation and trying to find ways to engage with them. I know I need to be more curious with technology and it is my goal to learn some cool techy approaches. Wish me well!

Don't limit the students opportunities. LEt them discuss related topics they may relate to in the workplace.  Give them clear instructions on howework and smple the tyope of work you expect to be done prior to class. Make sure you plan additional time as needed for discussions a and demonstrations

Students learning is impacted by the time they grew up and teachers need to consider different styles to reach all students.

Flipped Classrooms require students to rewiew and prepare the material before class.
