This lesson helped me to understand the why behind some of the teaching strategies I use. As a non traditional teacher, I have been given these strategies and just told to use them. Now I know why and how it is effective in the classroom. This lesson also provided me with new strategies such as Webquests and Fishbowl.
Diversity and flexibility in lesson materials and presentation can enhance the learning process and increase student motivation and feedback.
I learnt that instructors need to provide information in such a way that students could save and organize without frustration.
Presenting materials to students should be done in an inclusive manner. That way, all learning styles would be catered to. In addition, students with disabilities will also benefit from materials that are inclusive.
I see UDL as a tool that could help to optimize teaching and facilitate inclusive learning for students with varying learning styles.
I will be adding storytelling to my lessons in class. They are beneficial to students.
Storytelling allows me to connect to students and provide them with real life examples. sharing experience with students shows them you are human and can relate.
Storytelling can encourage students to participate in class discussion and explore certain topics that are being taught. It can help students retain new information and prepare for nursing school clinicals and exams.
How do students know which online sites are good resources to use?
Lesson plans need to be logical, sequential and engaging for students.
