Think of blogs as self-published mini articles. Share your experiences and challenges. Share your successful and failed strategies. Share your proven techniques and best practices. And don’t forget to solicit comments from your peers so we can all learn from the collective knowledge and expertise of our thriving community.

flipped classroom

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.

Assisting the Student

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.

Flipping classroom

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.

strategies

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

First training done

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.

Group Work

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… >>>

The Art of Educating and Teaching

Through my years in the education industry, I have found that there is no better way to learn than sharing your knowledge and understanding with others. Of course in the classroom, the first goal of the insrtructor is to instruct and to be instructed. Therefore, this could add a bit more stress when it comes to finding the rights words, and the right technique to impart knowledge.

I have also learned that in order to fill a bottle with the proper content, you need first to figure out whether it is empty, partially filled with the right matter, or even… >>>

FLIPPED CLASSROOM

A flipped classroom is one that inverts the typical cylce of content and application so that students gain the knowledge before class and instructors can guide students to actively and interactively clarify and apply that knowledge during class.  Students are more active participants in learning and thier interaction increases and students learn from one another. With more opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and therefore demonstrate their ability to use it, gaps in their understanding become visiable to bothe themselves and the instructor.

Creating an Accelerated Learning Enviornment

Developing, delivery and evaluation of training or instruction for students is the key to our students success in the class room. Being aware of these things while teaching takes preparation, skill and felxibility. The goal is to make the outcome for our students a positive and fruitful experience.

Learning techniques

When teaching something new, I first check students for any prior knowledge of material. then I teach by using oral drills accompanied by posters and diagrams that are

colorful. I provide examples as a reinforcement. Sometimes we break into small groups for problem solving activities. this helps all kinds of learners

study

Pay attention study and review again.

Student Learning Groups

When putting my students in learning groups, I have found there are some students who feel this will be an easy A. I encourage them to all give input because they will still be graded individually as well as in their respective groups. If the group will be presenting a project as the end result, part of the assignment is to write a summary individually to be handed in at the time of the presentation. All group members must also have input within the presentation. This works well for my students because they all have a chance to participate.

very useful

I found these training courses to be very helpful and plan on implementing them into my teaching when i get the opportunity to be instructor.

Reflection and Action Plan

I may need to consider how to plan my instruction in a more fine-grained manner

ways to learn

I dint realize before doing this module that there are so many different types of learning, audio, visual and many others

reflection

To state my reflection and action plan i look at the notes about the lecture and take from that alot about being prepared emotionally and as well as have your material ready and know your students habits and strong suits

New hire

I feel that if you put your mind to it and study hard enough and you are put in the right situation and right environment anything is possible. Hard work and studying pays off

Online

I must say this was interesting. I just concluded a online breeze session. There were some bumps in the road, but over all I liked the fact that my students could reveiw my lectures on line and give more time to their projects in class. I am still adjusting, but as time goes on, I feel I will become more comfortable.

Question habit changes

I have made it a habit to ask my classes question. I did not know the mistake I was making. This course taught me the pit falls and how to think about question composition knowing npe how they can be either effective or not depending on delivery and better wait times preventing interuption.

Reflection and Action Plan

I will spend some time looking over classes that are appropriate for the "flipped" classroom. As the course suggests, I would like to slowly implement the changes and complete a post-course review of what worked and what did not work.
