Story telling as a closed ended question

Encourage discussion

Storytelling helps relate to real life expericene

I have learned that keeping the grade book up to date really helps the students to be aware of their " current " grade status. Its very important  because it help keep students encouraged and to keep them  on track! 

Lecture notes help to guide an instructor during their course. They work inconjunction with the lesson plan to assit the instructor in real time during their course.  Intergrating technology in the classrooms helps with engagement.  It also help students with becoming more comfortable with technology which is something that is important to their future employers.  Forms of assessments are necessary to provide evidence of the skills they have mastered. 

The ABCD model is a structured approach to ensuring that objectives are clear, measurable, and aligned with the learning outcomes. I find this interesting in that it helps with curriculum mapping to show where we as a school are aligned with what we say are going to do or provide the students academic wise. 

In this lesson, its imprative to know how  you students learn and how to apply the differing learning styles to assist all in the learning environment. I find videos are beneficial and giving them activites to write down can be very insturmental. Making sure they are not frustrated is important and learning how to meet them where they are will make their learning experience most pleasant.

Lesson plans are great for helping to keep instructors on track during with delivering the course material during each class as well as planning out activities to help with classroom management.  They are create resources in case an instructor has to be out and a sub is needed to cover a class.  I like to use them as a resource to help new instructors especially those that have never formally taught.  

Comment on Emily Pearson's post: Making sure to deliver the power point in a way that enhances learning and not going too fast can assist the adult learner. Too many heavy titled slides are too busy and leaves the students furstrated . 

Time management plans a big part in preparing for class.  Creating lesson plans provide a structured, but flexible guide for assisting instructors to deliver the course material in effective manner to engage their students and achieve the course objectives.
