The point systems is a hard topic to understand.  But I see the benefit in helping the students dedicate time to studying for the points.

diffucult subject, combining technologies, hand drawn diagrams and color seems to help

Using colored paper allows the students to organize their handouts.

Ask students about their lives and they will respond more positively toward you

Do my assessment earlier

Teaching thesefundamentals is important in todays world, they are becoming fogotten traits

Im not sure if this a proper share, i just think the most dificult part is to keep it interesting for the learners.

Id appreciate suggestions =)

I try to share my background and experiences with my students so they can learn from and appreciate them.

I have found that using more technolgy for my class has helped the students collect a wider variety of information about the course than the class time limit could ever provide.

How to be succesful in the classroom

Paying attention, there may be more than one anwser

I am excited to share new found knowledge. I am the type that cannot contain myself when I know it will benefit others in reaching their goals. I believe in being selfless and preferring others by being open minded and understanding that the presentation that I will deliver will indeed help them and not harm them in anyway but encourage them to strive for excellence is my main objective.

The instructor for my college program who runs the same classes I do used to use colored paper all the time. We used to think it was so funny but now I see why she did it. It is so much easier to refer to the yellow handout than by the heading of the paper, even if the headings are VERY clear and easy to read. 

This course definitely reinforces that what I have been doing for the past ten years plus of technical training is following closely to the course design.  I fully recommend this course to beginning instructors as well as veteran instructors/educators.

There were many useful areas of this content:

• Use multiple senses to help student retain content of material taught
• Education is lifelong
• Use and develop soft skills for successful professional behaviors
• Have a PLAN B
• Pre-test may be useful tool when class does not seem ready for material
• Point system may be beneficial grading system

It is important that ST instructors bring 'real-life' expereince into the lecture, especially if there is no hands-on skills that go with the lecture.

Students like a varitiy during lecture. Breaking lecture up and showing surgical procedure videos, then having a discussion about the 'procedure', not only encourages the student to look forward, but relate it to the current subject.

Top priority is to Communicate with the students all the time. In class (face to face), email, text, moodle, phone. Give them feedback on the performance. Question/answer session in class. Think outside the box or book. Be creative with your lesson plans. Share real life examples.

I find that when I am teaching math within my classes (especially word problems) a lot of my students "shut-down" because of their previous experiences with math and word problems.  So, it isn't always about their base knowledge they have coming into the classrooom, it is their self-worth from other instructors and classes too.

Good point in learning technic's and implimenting feedback from students during reviews.
