Attention

I have been experienceing an overwhelming amount of students who have it in their mind they do ot have to listen to the instructor. I realized quickly after observing, the students who were day dreaming were missing out becasue of their learning styles. Being new to this industry I am very aware now of the learning styles. I have implamented that the students have to get up at least once during lecture and help out. They actually have enjoyed the classesmore and are volunteering to answer questions. There is so much more participation in class after we( the instructors) got invovled with the students.

It is very challenging to deal with a variety of learning styles all at once; but it can also be fun and rewarding for there is at least one activity liked by most. More often than not, adult students come to the classroom after complying with their "real life" responsibilities such as work and family matters. One technique that is very inclusive of all students while reinforcing what was learned is to play games. I adapt table games such as Pictionary after a lecture or presentation. The students love it for they are active and involved; and I can get to evaluate the RRT process. It creates a healthy competitive vibe and I have their full attention!
