I used to ask questions to my students when they started engaging in activity that is not related to the lecture.

I got their attention but they felt uncomfortable for being placed under the spot light.

I felt justified for directing their attention to the lecture in this manner. But also with some students I got the sense of resentment and less cooperation to participate. But now after reading teaching insights I realize that this was not the best approach in addressing my dismay with their behavior. From now on I will adapt to a different approach to direct their focus back to the lecture. They will be asked the question but after I make an effort to get them back on track.

Also, addressing the bad behavior does not always work for a spoiled brat. 

I found this lesson very interested. I had to read thoroughly in order to make sense of active and passive learning. The first time I took the practice quiz I failed it. The second time around I passed with a 100 after carefully reviewing what I had missed the 1st time around.

it was easy to learn

Good information in modules 1 and 2.

This provided a good outline of what it takes to advance as an instructor

I truly enjoyed this course.  I found it to be very interactive and it provided detailed examples in each modules.  I will take with me the knowledge of instructional components, the preparation of teaching, to do list, instruction & handout, overview requirements, goal setting and instructional objectives.  I now can take what I have learned and implement it into the classroom setting.

I will have to definitly make the time to cultivate active learning! I just need more hours in my day!

I found that case studies are helpful in promoting active learning in the classroom.

i think this is a great course. i plan to use what I have learned in my practice.

Checkyour self, Just as you expectitions can influence students outcomes, so can you.  Your students are oftem a mirror of your attitude, intrest and opinion of the day's material.

If you do not precieve the material as interesting, important and fun to learn neither will your students,

Great content

The best ay to help students?

Hello All,

I'm gearing up for my first teaching class, I'm excited and wanted to know if anyone had any experiences of their first class please.

Kind regards,

 Simulation labs really helps the students in performing skills at the clinical area. In clinical setting , if we  have skills need to perform , it is really very helpful to ask the students what they learned and remember during skill labs .  Allowing the students to perform during skills labs helps them to build confidence to perform the procedure at clinical areas.

As an Instructor, and I choose a textbook as a tool, I must be familiar with the contents and delivery inorder for it to become an effective teaching tool.  The contents of the book should be correct, precise and accurate.

My students can learn theory when they apply themselves. It seems to be the soft skills that they have challenges with. How to communicate and behave appropriate is where they fall short

It was great to learn what the five cs were.

Credible

Candid

compassionate 

comitted

clear. 

How do you remain compassionate with out getting sucked in and becoming a pal to you students?

I find it interesting that students remember the stories I tell them in the classroom.  I've learned to lecture in a story-telling way where the content is being delivered in a story format.

The information in this section was great. I am a new teacher and this data was exactly what I needed it lets me know that I am doing the right things to promote the learning process, and it's given me ideas on how I can improve my skill.
