Can instructional styles be learned, even though most teachers are comfortable with one dominant style?

I feel that nowadays the access to supplemental material through the internet gave a big push for the educational process, but one of the major problems I faced when I ask the students to make a presentation is their negligence of the proper resources to take from. usually they follow the first google link appears on the subject, it seem that the more credible resources are more difficult to browse than the commercial sites

Students are embarrased about their disability and will not talk about it they want to be normal like everyone else it's up to us as instructors to identify the problem and work with them to help them suceed.

We need to help the students stay focus on their goal while they ar facing their chanellage of reading or learning english.

Help students to form a bond with each other and to get different learning styles.

life experience with success motivates students to move forwards.get more skilled.it also can be used to motivates others. instructors can use the life experience of one students to motivates others.

it is always good students should work in a group to learn a specific skill.instructors also need to develop the skill of making an effective group that will work together and watch them effective learner.

to manage a class instructors needs to be prepared about the subjects. also needs to make all students to be focused. bring their attention to the subject matter.use examples and other objects to keep students focused.so instructors needs to be trained and updated knowledge. max knowledge is one of them.

As I reviewed the Harvard Business School instructor I was very impressed. He was down to earth, was professional in his address to us, “seasoned instructors” and delivered an important message. Don't try and impress students allow them to express themselves and showcase their learning tools. If you come across as a "know it all" students will not appreciate you. They want to know that you have life experiences that make you normal but skilled, that you have made mistakes and relate to their current challenges. Don't teach to impress. Teach to engage!

I have several students that are struggling with life challenges. They have housing, financial and family issues. At least once a week, I will text a student and give them words of encouragment. I personally feel that our job is to meet learners where they are in today's ever changing technological world. Do you agree? If so, what non-traditional measures have you taken to reach out to your students .... to ensure success?

Do some career college students come with IEPs?

I don't know sign language, and one of my students is hard of hearing. How should I best approach this?

Should an instructor have groups chosen before the students have a chance to self-choose?

I review subject matter as we teach it. Before we move on i like to get the students to answer some questions. If they dont have it we stay on that topic for a while longer.

Unfortunatley lecture is part of the learning procedure. It is all in the presentation. Instead of looking like a civil war photo all stoic and just spewing cirriculum, walk around, have students get out of there seats and see the examples you are talking about(if possible of course, we teach mechanics) Ask questions, use there answers and questions as a review for the others,don't just answer for them. I take votes to see who feels if the issue is correct. and we talk about both sides of the issue and correct accordingly.

I tend to pace in front of my class while I lecture, what is a better way to use that energy?

I have only encountered one student with a diability in my classes and they were legally blind. They could see some things but could not drive and do other task. I did provide additional assistance for them as well as the school. Denise

I have had students in the past that didn't have English as their first lanaguage and I have become frustrated with them. This section helped me a great deal in techniques to work with these type of students. Thanks, Denise

I don't feel that I have had good success with organizing groups. There always seem to be those students in the group that don't do their fair share of the assignments. Then the other student complain to me about the issue. I use to get involve and talk with the student that was having issues with their work. Now I tell the groups that they have to work out the issue amoung themselves. I am not sure that this is the best way to handle the situation. Perhaps the group can give me tips on this. Thanks, Denise

I have never heard of the term "floating" in relation to a classroom setting. Many times in the past, I have stood behind a podium in order to feel "safe". However, after I have gotten use to the class, I feel more comfortable in moving around the classroom and talking to my students. I am wondering how you can incorporate "floating" in the online enviroment. Do you show your presence in many parts of the class, especially the discussion area? I work to stay involved in the discussion area but am wondering if this show enough presence in the online classroom. Do you have any suggestions on how I can be more present and show that I am moving around the classroom? Thanks, Denise
