I enjoy assigning case studies or modules to groups of students and having each group present "their" topic to the class
I find it all too often that instructors, whether it is through ego or fear, have constricted themselves into one, hierarchical, method for instruction. This course seeks to resolve that. It corrects some of our bad habits that we may not even notice by introducing the concept of the facilitator. As instructors, we must find a healthy balance. Far too often, I enter into a classroom where students are disengaged from the lesson because of that lesson's static nature. Facilitators create a dynamic environment involving multiple forms of assessment and as soon as that environment is molded into the classroom,… >>>
It's essential to have a lesson plan when teaching a class of adults. The adult learner has a shorter attention span. I would want to keep the adults engaged. Give them knowledge that they can build on since they may be loaded with previous knowledge. Building on that knowledge gives them the ability to increase what is known. and be more successful in applying newly learned material.
Making the recap of the days information necessary but exciting will enhance memorization.
In today's educational landscape, understanding how to effectively design and facilitate online courses is crucial. Emphasizing a variety of assessment methods, as opposed to relying solely on traditional tests and quizzes, allows for a more holistic evaluation of student learning in virtual settings. This approach not only accommodates diverse learning styles but also promotes deeper engagement and critical thinking among students. By utilizing interactive and collaborative assessments, instructors can better gauge comprehension and application of knowledge, fostering a more dynamic and enriching online learning experience. Such flexibility and innovation are essential in preparing educators to navigate and optimize digital learning… >>>
n my journey through the ED143 course I have been able to learn the most relevant aspects to become a facilitator of knowledge and an effective guide for students to develop their own capabilities based on their real needs.

This course reviews how to communicate with students on the first day of class.
The course assisted the current applications used in the classroom setting to improve participation
what i have learned from this course is that how to try to get the attention of the students and make them share their knowledge with their classmates and their teacher and keep them alert to pay attention to the concept and also telling what i had learned from my experience on aviation for more than 45 years and what i have been through which its real connected to the concept and how to upgrade my knowledge so i can reach to what and how they are thinking .
I've learned the different methods to manage students in the classroom. How to deal with students with diverse problems. The different types of test to give the students to help with their learning.
I remember at time when my job had my entire clinic take a day off and go somewhere off campus to do something fun and yet help us team build to be better at our job, and become stronger as a team. We learned how we can better communicate and talk through things better when we may experience conflict. Sometimes it's better to problem solve and get better perspectives on how to handle situations, especially when everyone has different personalities. It was a great idea and the faciliator was very helpful!
I plan to become a great instructor by the knowledge i've obtained in this course by acknowledging everyone has a different way of learning objectives and recognizing that not every person has the same learning technique i will also incorporate skills they have used in their everyday life so they can understand better. i will also be adding in some skills that ive learned from past instructors that have gotten me to this point in my career. i plan on overcoming any challenges i face by attacking them head on and speaking to my students regularly asking them how they… >>>
Instructional delivery and assessment are fundamental components of effective teaching. Here are some insights, best practices, action plans, successes, and challenges related to these aspects: Clear Learning Objectives: Begin by clearly defining learning objectives for each lesson or unit. Objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART), guiding both instruction and assessment. Varied Instructional Strategies: Employ a variety of instructional strategies to accommodate diverse learning styles and preferences. This may include lectures, group discussions, hands-on activities, multimedia presentations, and cooperative learning. Differentiated Instruction: Differentiate instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners within the classroom. This involves… >>>
Online lessons are usually shorter lesson plans.
As a new teacher I'm going to strive to incorporate more facilitator roles in my classroom. I was taught more in line with the scholar 'sage on a stage' mentality and although I have more experience with mentoring students one on one, I struggle with embodying the facilitator role for large groups of students. Working on more engaging lessons and less lectures is a struggle with trying to meet the objectives within the timeline and also encourage self accountability for the adult students with their own learning.
First day present yourself so the class know who you are , then class will participate, once the ice is been broken, begin with the experiences and introduce the class subject, group dynamics keeps the attention and interest on the students.
This course was a comprehensive guide to improving teaching pedagogy. Every aspect gave actionable and clear methods to incorporate in the classroom. One of my biggest takeaways was the importance of preparation and care for students. Often academics strip their students of their humanity instead of meeting them where they are and understanding that each student comes into the classroom with lived experiences and intersectionalities. As educators, we need to prioritize making students feel safe and comfortable in the learning environment. That includes making a real connection with students, remembering their names, and more. I include various ice breakers in… >>>
