I just completed ED 104 and I have learnt from this course that we must energize the learning environment. I know that there are something that the learning environment must have. Learning mediums, such as those objects that set the stage, reduce barriers, act as stimulators, and assist your students to learn. Teaching tools, those physical objects that help convey your message must be well positioned or in place. I use ice breakers at the beginning of of the first class to reduce tension and anxiety, to acquent my students with each other, to immediately involve the class members. Am glad that some of my teaching techniques were described in the course and I have learnt lot from this course.
