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!

I concur.… >>>

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.

The course was thought provoking.  We all struggle with how to interact with and assess our students.  You have to be true to yourself, and true to the objective.  I like to use the course discussion to adjust the path of each class.  It helps me know what they are thinking, and what I need to do in the future.  The class gave me new ideas on effective evaluation, and questioning techniques, that I will use in the future to hone my instructional skills

The company I worlk for will be flipping the training and we will begin working toward and more computer based traing. I will see haw I best fit in the flip classroom.

Great course!

I will definitely use several things from this course.  1.  Arriving early!  I typically arrive 3-5 minutes before class, I am going to shoot for 10-15 minutes.

Lesson Plans - I have lesson plans that are not as well organized as they could be.  The course has provided me with great ideas about creating lesson plans and noting issues during lecture and after class on what worked and what didn't work. 

Faces with Names!  It has always been my greatest weakness!  I am trying to find ways to learn faces with names!

I believe that training and updating your knowledge to how things are currently is important, but if you're not interested in the subject material or "have to do trainings" because it's part of a requirement, then that knowledge is gone as soon as the test is passed.  The main point about the discussions so far are about keeping students accountable, flipping the classroom and holding them accountable for knowledge they retain, and this has its benefits.  The hardest thing for anyone to do is make someone have an interest in something that does not interest them.  I've learned through experiences… >>>

Will provide learning activities w/ each Unit

Will make a checklist to be used before presentation and one to be used during to make sure I have covered all my points

Encouage students to complete reading assignments before class because they will create more "AHAHS" in class.

Will utilize a combination of lecture and learning styles.

I feel what the course preented to me was that learning needs to be more active for our students and I need to implement more into my courses that I am responsible to pass on to my students in the best way.  Active learning is something I intend to do more of and less lecture.  Many of my courses involve not just passing on facts and information but getting them into the practice of thinking outside the box and thinking things through.

I have already applied some of what I learned in this course to one class that I teach, to mixed results/success. I have learned a few more things in this course that should help me improve on what I have already implemented and broaden the concepts of flipped classroom to more of the classes I teach.

I have found that the students with depression or a learning disability or even not very good with the language to be the most rewarding. Seems they value to be a part of society that is productive. They typically do show the signs of frustration without any type of outburst from them. It becomes very recognizable early in every course if you have that type of student. I can proudly say at this time I have never given up on any student in my class, but unfortunately the maturity is not there for them or they do not follow with… >>>

ED 107 was an interesting course.  I am trying to introduce more learning activities into my classes and this course had some great suggestions. So many things to consider when designing course content in relationship to learning styles! Change definitely requires careful planning. Baby steps!
