I felt like I was taking a sociology class about the world of teachers and learners!

It was interesting to learn all the definitions of different types of lectures, learning and the teachers role in the classroom.  

I took notes like I was in high school!  Some of this material was not new to me, but the way it was presented is how I want to present material for my classes.  The course was demonstrating what it was teaching the entire tine.  

I feel I learned in every way described!

some of the challenges i experience when i teach is to stay on track. My method usually tends to go back and forward.

I plan to immediately apply what I learned in ED 103 to two new classes I am developing for my institution. 

It has been a bit overwhelming to "learn how to be a teacher."  I am enjoying everything I am learning and look forward to putting it into practice soon.

I do love the Ideas in this course.  I did use activities like these in a recent course I taught.  This course re-inforces how much more students learn when actively invloved.

I only noticed students sleeping or bored during typical lecture portions of my course, so I worked on as much active learning as Possible!

I enjoyed my class and I think students not only learned, but enjoyed and retained the information.

This course is very helpful when starting a new session or teaching new students. 

I've learned that lecturing for 15-20 minutes, then discussing with the students about it was more effective.

I will incorporate discussions and have student perform interviews to incorporate more of Fink's taxonomy like  the human dimension and student self-refelction.

After doing this lesson I plan to go back to the practice of writing pre-planned questions in alignment with learning objectives or outcomes.  I did this at the associate degree level but not at the university level at all times.  When I am assigned a consistent course I have time to thoughtfully research and process what is the best question to ask.

Altlhough this information was from prior knowledge and implementation, I plan to create instructional delivery plans for the established content into 15 minutes sections of information.  I will continue to use Socratic questioning of students which facilitates an i nteractive lecture format. I do not like using the lecture but I do not lecture.  I create a story to explore focused on the nursing process. 

I Am usually one of the people who is arriving to work at the time i am supposed to be starting. Every since ive become a barber, I have keeped a wild schedual. i plan on getting myself into a rotine at home sthat will allow me to be more organized and better with my time

After taking the course, I understand better what is meant by the flipped classroom and have ideas about where to try it. I would love to do this with our Animal Tech 1 class which teaches a lot of hands-on skills. That way we could focus on that portion more in class and have a really solid foundation going forward.

I have found in my 20 year career that having balance in your life is the most successful part of being a teacher.  Either doing too little or doing too much can be a detriment to your own health and psychological well being.  Make sure that when you teach that you take time out each week to exercise, play a musical instrument, joing a gym, or do whatever keeps you going.

Good Luck!

Eager to learn techniques on how to develop my personal instructional style. I like the idea of developing a personal plan for professional development. I would like to learn about this subject from experienced instructors.

Eased the beginning stress of a 1st time instructor!

I was happy to see the variety of lecture and other delivery formats, but was expecting more diverese pedagogical techniques.  I would like to recommend Teaching for Learning: 101 Intentionally Designed Educational Activities to Put Students on the Path to Success by Major, Harris & Zakrajsek. It's a great book that not only contains various lecture methods but reading strategies, peer teaching, graphic organizers and more.   

I find that when you let students know that you care by asking how they are doing or just having a general conversation with them, they seem more relaxed and work harder in your classes.

The examples helped me understand it more.

This was a great course. Lots of useful information. Will apply this new knowledge in the class room setting.

I am new in my role as a full time instructor and coming from a clinical educator, these courses will help me add variety to my classes!  I currently utilize some of the Interactive Lectures and Case Study Lectures because I personally enjoy that type of learning and applicability but found the suggestions of 15 minute mini lectures and tree diagrams will be very useful for my planning and delivery as well!!!  Thank you!
