Are there any ideas that can be shared about how to really spark an interest in students asking questions of interest about the subject matter.

At which point do you incorporate all of the various teaching styles? Or do you divide them equally?

After each segment of instruction, I always ask a few questions about what was covered in the last few minutes. This lets me know who is really paying attention and who really is haveing trouble with the information. I don't want to continue until all understand the subject matter. At the end of the day again ask more questions and lastly start the new day with again more questions. I know the more I ask the more I get back in feed back and the better retention the students have.

Describe how we learn and change.

As long as the student takes notes and studies this does work.

We can help with all learing types.

It is good that we all can learn from everybody.

In our rooms by having a relaxing, fun atmosphere students will learn more. We all like games and to have fun, so if this is incorporated into our class room activities learning is easier, fun, and the students will retain more information.

I've common way of instructing on both videos provided by the harvard university, the instructor were energetic moving around the class, representing the meaning with their hands, that keep the students awake in the lecture room.

Our class room serves many purposes, it is how we interact with the students in our class rooms that create the creative enviroment of learning. If we use our rooms as learning tools, with visual aids, hands on tasks, and personal space, each student will make it their enviroment and learning will come easier to our students.

Being a good instructor means to be open, supportive, interactive, honest, and willing to listen and learn from your students. Not everything is one sided, we have to not only teach our students, but if we pay attention to our classes they can teach us new ways to look at our subject matter.

What should I do about someone who is slow learning but does not have a learning disability.

I have only a small class and need some ideas on how to keep the faster paced ones from getting board while I spend a little more time with the ones who need help.

I am doing my first work group with one of my classes. Do you have any suggestions for me.

I have some classes that are right out of high school.Many do not understand what it is like to work for someone else,can you help with examples that relate to things they may have done.

Using formal assessment to measure student knowledge can come at several different points during your unit plan. Assessments preformed before a unit, while you are teaching the unit and after you are finished teaching the unit are all valid and helpful to a teacher, yet each serve different purposes. Understanding each assessment type is important to helping teachers fine tune their teaching skills.

An ever-increasing number of faculty from all disciplines are seeking ways to learn how the various elements of their courses affect student learning. This search includes assessment methods that are designed primarily for faculty use rather than for institutional data gathering or program evaluation. Feedback from instruments designed primarily for classroom use can guide faculty in modifying their courses to enhance student learning. This allows the instructor to come to a medium on their instruction style also because they can see where all their students are at. If you have advanced students, prepare to have additional work for them so that they are not bored during class.

Good questioning is an excellent aid to teaching that is seldom utilized to the fullest extent. Most of us use questioning solely to assess students’ knowledge and are less aware of its expanded value as an important teaching and learning tool. Good questioning is a major determinant of teaching and learning outcomes.

Students preferentially take in and process information in different ways: by seeing and hearing, reflecting and acting, reasoning logically and intuitively, analyzing and visualizing, steadily and in fits and starts. Teaching methods also vary. Some instructors lecture, others demonstrate or lead students to self-discovery; some focus on principles and others on applications; some emphasize memory and others understanding.

I like to get different parts to a test. T/F, short answer, eassy.
