I have always felt more comfortable in the lab setting than classroom setting, by creating a more detailed lesson plan I should be able to overcome my discomfort with a classroom setting.

I plan to apply the knowledge I have gained from this course to improve ECPI University's retenton goals.

I learned that is very benifical to student to be prepared and ready to teaach on the first day of class. First impression is everything.

This course has helped me identify areas where I can incorporate more learning styles. 

I am going to read the course materials again over the next several weeks and evaluate whether or not the concepts put forward in the class have merit in the context of my class.  After that process is complete, I will decide how to proceed to implement a plan to add the any appropriate concepts learned in the class into my class in a timely fashion, modifying and adjusting as necessary.

We as instructors need to take time to see the problems that each student faces and take the needed steps to help that student.

Gave me a better understanding of the underlying causes for the things I witness from students in the classroom and why certain approaches work or don't work well.

I will think critically about how to apply what I learned in this course towards future teaching opportunities. Excellent course: lots of new informations.

I have found that I can lecture alot more than I should and I plan to do more hands-on activites that will break up the sessions into 15-18 minutes of lecture and then create periods when the students can interact more with each other and still retain the information.

I found it encouraging that instructors should not only use real world experiences (stories) in instruction, but also remind students that employers will expect deadlines to be met and teamwork to be successful in order to keep a job.

Example from ED107 Course: "Every good instructor has a bag of tricks that travels with them everywhere they go."

Itis always a goog idea to go back and look at your teaching style, there is always room for improvement.

I think this ED106 was a good course. It focused on how to keep different student interest. I think what appealed to me the most is helping the student with learning disabilities. I myself was diagnostics with a learning disability in middle school. What I find interesting is these students tend to be average to above average students. I think as teachers we have to try and reach all students and in doing that we may need to change up are teaching style.

Students become more actively involved with open questioning and probing.  I have found that this changes the dynamics of a group of students to become more interested in the subject matter and more involved in their education. 

I have already incprporated many of the skils amd knowledge learned in this training but now I can enhance them

I found this program veryinformative and helpful.

I found this information very helpful in understand how complex and challenging the admissions and Financial Aid programs are. I am reassured to know that the students a very well informed prior to inrolling in the programs

I think from this course we can be put at ease that our jobs will not "be outsourced to robots". The gist of it seems to be that adaptive learning is the future; it's what our students want, and if done right it will enhance our ability to teach. We face a broad spectrum of learners daily, and if we think one method of delivery will work, then we are sadly mistaken. It's time to embrace adaptive learning not only to help students achieve goals, but to make our jobs more interesting, and dare i say it, easier!

as I go through my lecture to help with the diffrent styles of learning I use a combination of visual examples of power points. Lots of audio and most important the use of the talking ball it's a question and answer devise I use when reinforcing content of my lecture.

I love to use role playing activities in my Hospitality Supervision Course on topics that are very current for the students such as telling their Supervisor at work about an issue that they have.  A classmate plays the role of the Supervisor and the students get to see that there are ways to resolve these issues at work. I ask them to use real life concerns for the issues they discuss. Many times it helps them see how to approach their concerns at their current jobs.

It has been my experience that adult learners are individuals who learn much more effectively if we utilize the collective class experience and lessons learnt from life, to motivate participation and peer to peer education process.
