Changing Teaching Styles

Have just completed ED104 and though I have taught for many years have to agree that the course still challenged me enough to keep my interest.  Am finding it hard to change my teaching style to challenge the younger students now days so hope these courses will help and encourage me to try some new teachniques. 

It is imperative that we adapt our teaching style for the next generation. There value systems and mind frame our different and they understand concepts in a perhaps a more "moden" real world hands on way.

I think is very important to beware of all the different teaching styles so that you can be a more proficient instructor.

What I have done from time to time is I ask one of the seasoned instructors if I can set in on a class they are teaching to get some ideas on different ways of teaching certain subjects. The reason for letting them know this is I do not want a person to think I am going in to be a spy but I am interested on some views they have,I also encourage them to set in on some of my classes to have them give me some constructive insights. What I want them to see if they do not know the subject matter I want them to see if they can follow along with that class on a certain subjects and can have a basic understanding on that subject at the end of class.
