Hi Nancy! This is Jay Hollowell, the course facilitator for ED106. Welcome to the discussion forums! Excellent point about slowing down. I have found myself as well speeding through a topic because I am so familiar with it. In the past, I have done a few things to help: -make sure that I have clearly communicated the objectives/learning outcomes of the lesson to the students -pause frequently to check for understanding and ask for a paraphrase, interpretation or example from students -blend an activity, example, demonstration into the presentation -appoint a responsible student as the "pulse manager," to signal me if he or she has observed that I am going too fast, or has noticed frustration on other student's parts that I may have missed -have students keep a journal where we stop along the way and summarize points, questions and applications to the workplace Perhaps, just a few suggestions for even seasoned instructors. What has worked for you specifically in helping to get your subject matter across in the classroom?
