Student learning and comprehension

I felt like this course has helped me learn more about dealing with students with disabilities. Learning disabilities can hinder the success of the students and if there is anything I can do to help them overcome it, I will gladly do my best. The student has to be willing to speak up and let the instructor know they have a learning disability. If I see that the student is not comprehending the material, I will strive to find out why and what I can do to help. It's very easy to forget about learning disabilities when teaching adults but… >>>

LEARNING STYLE

i HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING AS TO WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ME WHEN I PREPARE FOR MY FUTURE STUDENTS

Flipped Classroom

I currently use some of the content of the flipped classroom by providing online videos for my students to learn hands on techniques prior to implementing them in the clinic setting.

Discussion Forum

How many people believe that discussion forums are beneficial for students?

Reflection and Action Plan

Using the tools and ideas for implementing the diversified learners I will have students to use different modalities for recall and testing of materiels. All individuals learn in a variety of styles and I have practiced with my students many of these skills. It is important for student and teacher to understand and appreciate their particular style of learning. This should be established on the first day of class.

Retention

Retention is a factor of success, but methods of retention will support the effectiveness of it.

Lecture styles

It is sometimes difficult to diversify your lectures and not allow lectures to become a monotonous process.  This course (ED101) provides useful information and key points to consider to improve upon your lectures.  The suggestion of using a quote of the day and the use of a case study to begin a lecture is a good idea and I plan to incorporate this in my lectures.  I enjoyed this course.

Growing as a Teacher

Rebecca Boghich

I plan to use this new set of tools to enhance my students with learning disabilities.

Wait time

While I often think I am giving enough wait time I think I need to give more attention to waiting for students to process information.

ED 111

This was a good course to learn about active learning and gave me some good ideas to try to implement

ED 103

I liked this course because it gave me tips and ideas on how to instruct all different learning styles. I have a teacher once at the beginning of a course, have us take a test. It told us our learning style, etc.

Active Learning

I really enjoyed this course and plan on sharing this information with the faculty as they prepare for their courses.  I agee with the course in that the biggest challenge is getting students to prepare in advance for active learning.  If we can manage to get them to do that, we'll have a much more successfull and fulfilling program.

Great course, full of relevant information

Student education and disability action plan

     To further enhance the student's learning experience, I plan to maintain appropriate eye contact, Move about the room more, pause three seconds before responding, and ask for the student to verbalize what has just been said. 

 

 

 

 

Flip this classroom

This concept of pre-recorded lectures is somthing to wrap my mind around. I can see this working for many of my students.  Although, they are adults, they are 20-25 years younger than I and are tech-savvy! I could see how this style of learning would allow them to exlpore activities and become more creative in ideas along with brainstorming fantastic thoughts.

See one, do one, teach one

I really liked this class #103.  It helped me come up with a couple tricks and simple hints on making better test questions as well as gave me more insight into how people learn and how they can better retain the information. 

i am now going to use the "Learning Style Survey" in my first class so that people in the class and I as the teacher can better understand their learning style and better form my class and tests to take advantage of that.

ED 103

This course was interesting and provided valuable insight into the assessment process.  I intend to employ a wider array of exams to assess student knowledge.

ED 101

I really enjoyed this course and will implement a few new ideas to my classes.
