I was able to learn from this course. How to increase student motivation. I am looking forward to implementing this practices into my class room.

Lots of good info in this module. I've tried to effectively use questioning, but this will help a lot. I plan to write down in advance both closed/open questions to use and where in the lesson to use them. One thing I need to work on is redirecting, especially for answers that are off the mark.

now I know to wait before moving on to the next student

overcomming my fear of teaching, and i was very successful

One thing about higher education is that we the instructors have academic freedom. However, most of the instructors are not aware of how their role within the classroom aids to the complete growth and development of the adult learner. The students who sit in our classrooms are most often not the traditional age student. Therefore, we have students that are a little more mature and assured as to what it is that they want to do with their degree once they receive it. The instructor must know that dealing with students is much in itself like customer service. When the… >>>

I do presently facilitate more than actually instruct.  As a technology teacher I am accustomed to students using technology more. However, students are not in a strong practice to review preexisting videos prior to class. And this does show in the classroom.

This is a very helpful tool that I will try to implement in the future. Great course

To improve on my listening skills espically in the area of what is not being said.

This course has so many helpful suggestions.  I would like to implement as much as posssible to increase learning outcomes for my students.

I learned a great deal about how to enhance student learning.  Some of the things covered I already do, which made me feel good about my teaching techniques.  Others, I will implement immediately to help students who might otherwise get lost in the shuffle.

Applicaiton based activities help encourage participation.

Effective way to questio students and develop critical thinker would be open ended questioning.  I plan to ask more open ended questions by putting the questions in my leeons plans so that I will ask themand have the answers prepared.  Ask more students questions and allow wait  time.

I learned the importance of greeting each student at the beginning of each course to help them feel they are appreciated.  I also learned the importance of getting to know each student at the first class.  The importance of learning each student's name during this first class and identifying them by name at each subsequent class was also stressed.  I learned the importance of proper organization prior to the first class meeting.

Great course. I look forward to seeing where I can flip my classes.

I am not going to flip my classroom, but I am in agreement with  alot of the methods and blooms taxonomy.  Students do learn from peers and project based learning and inquiry as well as cooperativ leraning is very important.  Rigor and relevance is the key to learning retention.

Great pointers from this class with regards to assiting students that may have a learning disability.  It is every instructor's desire for students to succeed, so great take-away/strategies for helping those who may have a slight struggle.

I think I will be partially able to flipp the classroom. Unfortunately, I do not see the ability to completely flip my classes, since they are overloaded with material needed to be taught. I will definitely try to implement some of the strategies I learned.

I will make a concious effort to implement these strategies into my classes. The course was very helpful

I got my first training done and have to post. I did pick up a few new things and have already seen in multiple classes the other items.

I teach medical assistants and group work is a norm for us because we have hands on skills to learn and communication barriers to overcome. Because medical assistants are seers and doers, listening to lecture can be hard on them. During lecture I stop and show a skill or equipment and give them the chance to feel it and use it. When they can get their hands on it and do it, they immediately start grasping and putting into practice whatever I just lectured on. Also, they must have the chance to teach others. This is a big deal with healthcare… >>>
