Having a variety of tools to help focus students and differentiate their learning styles. This section was great.
Developing student rapport is key to buy-in, and using alternative methods like small group participation keeps learning fresh.
I enjoyed this section because it allows me to understand how to navigate students that are having a difficult time learning the content, how to engage students, etc.
I will incorporate applications and illustrations of how content can be used in order to develop working memory which is the ability to store information in the mind and retrieve it when needed. Allowing students to build learning pathways will be acomplished by helping students focus on small sequential learning components in class. I will continue to get to learn my students names during the first day of class and incorporated a 2x 5 card where they can tell me a little bit more about themselves. I learned that instructors can create successful learners by knowing our students.
I think finding some type of verbal evaluation
( without off course allowing the active students to overshadow the passive students) mid way through the lecture may be a good way to make sure that the students are re-engaged and re-focused.
I haven't had the challenge of needing to keep students refocused in a class that I thought recently as most of the adult students have enjoyed sharing their work experiences that pertain to the topic that is being covered with the class.
Task focus improve learning performance on student, one task at the time and interactive learning environment.
engaging students is a group and individual task for instructors. Holding accountability by providing feedback is critical to students and can be a high motivator.
Engage students in the learning process because their attention span is short.
learn new and better ways to engage
I agree there is lots of knowledge here on how to deal with different students and when to not get involved.
Reconnecting students with their commitment to the course or to learning is best done by having them self evaluate about mid-way through.
Staying motivated as an instructor will translate into keeping your students motivated.
This module has a lot of good information.
This section was great at helping you understand students better
Develop a rapport with your students by working to create trust and mutual respect with each other.
Staying excited and enthusiastic about the course motivates the students and avoids a mid-course slump.
Learnativity is a word that has been created to reflect the combination of the instructional situation and the learner.
Telling a story is a great teaching strategy.
