It is best to make your lessons come alive with materials to support the course content.  This will gain the students' attention and help them remember what is being presented.  

When creating objectives it is important that they can be measured and they can be assessed on.  That is why objectives needs to very specific.  

This was a reminder of how important our teaching values affect the students!  We must exercise respect, commitment and preparation everyday for our classroom.

Technology is the edge of capability

The objectives guide the collective.

I like the information on keeping a lesson plan folder

The information on time compression was valuable.

Use assessment strategies to learn as much as you can about your students. become flexible with what your lesson plan is and adapt to what students may already know. By utilizing pretests and gathering information about pre-existing knowledge that your students may already know, you can adapt and make your lesson plan not as boring and keep students engaged.

I learned the importance of redirecting students when they are not engaged in an activity, lecture or competency in the classroom.

You often think that teaching only involves curriculum and lesson plans, but our interactions and persona have a lot to do with the projection of success to the students.
