Quality testing

I learned a great deal about how to access student progress through appropriate testing. I'm looking forward to writing my next exam.

disabilities

Learning of the disabilities helps the instrutor greatly.  This allows instructor to place a plan in play.  It also helps instructors recognize the problems with their students

 

Great Intro Course to Teaching

Lots of good advice here. If you're new to teaching you will get a lot out of this course.

I really liked the sections on setting a good example for your students. These sections were impactful.

I also liked the advice on preparation and delivery. All good practical observations.

Preparation is

the key to a successful class.

ED 125

Being in simulation, I can incorporate an "opening" briefing activity to captivate students' early interest. We can engage in guided- discussions followed by the sim scenarios to help cement nursing concepts, practice kinestheic skills and internalize therapeutic nursing attitudes and behaviors. Debriefings should include a summary of the activities and what the students achieve in relation to the expected outcomes of the day.

Improving the Instruction style

This is Lorena Samuel, Business Instructor, I often find myself exploring the many options to improve my instructional style... what would make this class better? How can i instruct this class in a way the students will feel engaged and happy to be there?

After this ED 101 class, I realized there are many options. Taking classes is one, when in the middle of the program the class needs a shift, came up with other direct solutions.

I like asking the student, what would you like to do in class different than what we have been doing so far? I… >>>

Questioning

I plan to include more Socratic type of questions and allow more time for a response from students.

Productive online learning training

My comment at this time, will be short and brief. My personal feelings regarding the online training are very helpful tools for teaching, especially for new instructor and for veteran instructors as well to maintain or exceed their teaching protentials,

What I Learned manageing class And Students

I learned that being an instructor is rewarding. I get a chance to give back to the community, and share my life experiences in the work field , by shareing my skills and letting them know we all make mistakes. We practice , and find fun ways to learn information and practice the job related skills, t help us be a successful individual in the work place.

Reflection

This course has helped me to reflect on my teaching history and determine things that I have done well and those not done so well.  I appreciate the insight and opportunity to grow.  I have tried to incorporate multiple learning styles into my delivery and keep my students engaged, but have tended to use only a few technological platforms in this.  Improving my instruction with technology is where I want to focus my efforts initially.

Knowing when & how to ask a question

Knowing who your audience is, will allow you to ask the type of question that may start a discussion.  Your having a discussion about morning drinks.  Many times a discussion may begin by just a simple question, ex. why does coffee taste better in the morning then the afternoon? 

Depending on the situation and the audience, the answers may surprise everyone.  Everyone will want to review the why(s): Is it that bit of caffeine first thing in the morning or is it the flavor?  No answer will be wrong, this will be more opinion than anything.

 

best practice

I have use different tools to provided better delivery of information to students.  At the end to  class I go around to room and ask what specific thing do you think you learn today for the activities and lecture today.  The lecture was about personal space and the student drew several large circles on a sticky pad and place where people fit in their person space and large discussion resulted.

Recieving Feedback

I wish to do a better job at recieving feedback.  This should help me improve my skills overall

Reflection Action Plan

  1. Reflection: Provided an accurate description on the relevance of student cetentric learninig and comprehension
  2. Action:  Continue education through multiple platforms, be it online; on ground or institutionally (ACC/WCU) driven course.  

Redirecting

 I found this course helpful in letting me redirect students in a more positive way.

Reinforcement of teaching experience

These training sessions have reinforced the information teaching methods and style I had collected on my own over many years. What a great feeling that I have approval of me work.

Flipped Classroom

As a student that wanted more control of my pace and considered the traditional teaching environment too reliant on the personality of the instructor (ie effective teacher vs less effective).  I consider the flipped classroom theory to be very important.  In my opinion, the best tool we can teach our students is how to manuever through the world as a life-long student and informed citizen.  Pro-Active. Interpetitive. Responsible

creating an environment

I really appreciate all the knowledge I gain through maxknowledge. I have put into practice many of the strategies I've learned like: starting the first day of class with an intro of myself and I do everything I plan to do for the entire term in the first day. I welcome feedback. I go over the syllabus and class expectations. I put them into groups and I allow them to share. I have put inspiring quotes aroun the room. I have also put terms and concepts around the room that are related to class. I have them plenty of breaks. I… >>>
