I have found that using real life examples and telling stories that relate to the content motivates and encourages students. They can relate to real life experiences and it makes them feel that their goal is obtainable.

I have found the best way to help a student with a learning disability is to try a variety of different methods in helping the student process the information and stay on task and also finding out what methods worked best for the student in the past and using the same of similar methods.

I think splitting students up into random groups is a great way for students to get to know each other and hear the opinions and ideas of other classmates that they may not normally connect with or socialize with.

It is very important to maintain eye contact with a student while he/she is talking to you. It lets them know that you are paying attention to what they are saying and that what they are saying is important to you.

Students have a tendacy of requesting what they want on a Test. I find that some student do not like a challenge.

My style is to give a quiz on a weekly basis. This give me an idea as to where the class/students are in understanding the lecture, course and assignments. After each quiz, I review to identify if most of the students did not answer the same question correctly. I then, discuss in detail each question students miss or did not understand.

I take the question and answer time in class to help me identify the strength and weakness within the student or students. Helps me prepare a lecture for the next day.

QUESTIONING DURING LECTURING IS DRIVE TO MOTIVATING STUDENTS IN THE CLASS

INSTRUCTOR STUDENT INTERACTION IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR LEARNING

When delivering a lecture, is it recommended to pause from the lecture after 15 min to recapture the attention of the students?

Is it recommended to give daily quizzes on the material learned the day before?

Can a learning objective be too broad?

What would be a good example of being a great motivator for students who have a hard time on test taking?

While teaching a class, I constantly try and involve the student in the learning process. For example, while presenting a demonstration, I have the students follow along on their computers, thus giving them a hands-on learning experience instead of watching and listening the entire time.

Hi Everyone: I just want to share some ideas I have for getting the class off to a great start. It is vital that we use the early weeks of class to make an impression of us being active and organized instructors. Here are my success tips for getting the class off to a great start: 1. Post mini-lectures or starter questions for each week’s Discussion Board. 2. Welcome each student to the class in an Introductions Board 3. E-mail course policies and syllabus to students a few days before class 4. Ask about prior experiences. From the first day instructors can take note of an introduction posted by the student that indicates future issues a student may have. It may be that student expresses problems or fears with the class. These students can be then “watched” by the instructor to see if any issues arise. The quicker the intervention, the better it is for the student 5. Have a Questions Conference 6. Instructors should be proactive and make sure that students have gone through online school’s orientation; students should know where they need to go for help with basic technical issues and basic tech requirements. 7. Search out students' understanding and prior experiences about a concept before teaching it to them. 8. Once the problem or situation is ascertained, the instructor needs to step in as “guide on the side.” If the issue is the course material, the instructor can help point the student to resources that are available. The student can be reached by different techniques. For instance, does the student want to take advantage of the college's Writing Center? The Library often has a number of handouts and resources that can be shared with the students as applicable to the student’s concerns. Do you have any tips or tricks that you use to create that first impression?

I mostly enjoy the class participation. Student seem to voice out their opinion, answers and contribute to discussions. Class participation also gives me identify the students strength and weakness.

Because of the fact that most the students who have learning disabilities often can become successful if given the proper resources that address their needs. In our shool, obtaining official documentation of what learning disability a student might have will help educators to address accordingly the needs of a student early enough and provide them the right support they need to establish a good start,and maintain student engagement as one goes through the program..

Learners have various learning styles specially with diverse population of students. Considering this fact, using life experiences can enhance memory retention and better understanding of the concept beign discussed for the reason that instructors are using a combination of abstarct and visual approach of reinforcing knowledge. Using life experiences also deliver significant impact specially to adult learners since most of them correlate the importance of what they are doing to what they want to achieve.

I have a math learning disablity so this puts me at a better advantage to helping my students

we see ESL students quite a bit in the school that I teach. I find it helpfully to be compassionate when working with them .,
