How can both students and instructors learn from this style?

Stressing to my students the importance of attending the Live Chat sessions and reviewing the archive chat more than one time is something I do all the time. This enables the student to truly grasp what I was teaching. It also instills in them the importance of attending class and interacting with their peers and teacher. Those that attend the Live Chats and review the archive chats are usually the ones that never have problems completing assignments and getting good grades. Helping my students understand that their success is their hands is the way to help them take ownership of their successes.

Hello Learners, In terms of eye contact within the online setting this would relate to maintaining communication through email and within the discussion forum. As an online instructor it is so important to create a positive rapport with the learners and give them all the resources needed to be successful. When conducting live chats, I always welcome each student to let them know that I am aware of their presence and always open the forum to questions and comments.

..providing plenty of resources.

providing more auditory learning tools can prove to be effective.

..allows for critical evaluating.

..helps to bridge learning with future career opportunities.

Working in Student Services, we monitor the IEPs for our students. Many of these students assume that their IEP will follow them in College. Although we make necessary accommodations for the students, we are not bound by law to follow the IEP in Higher Education. Students feel as though there should be continued support as they feel they still need. How can we possibly accommodate these students and prepare them at the same time for their career?

Students always sit next to or near someone they know. Therefore I have them count off by #s to get them into a group with student they do not know and have to work with in order to accomplish a task. I find this effective because students are forced to interact with someone they may not have otherwise. in preparing our students for the workforce, they will have to work w/ individuals from diverse backgrounds. We are obligated to provide an educational enviornment, and communication and appropriate interaction skills may not be consistent for each student. They can learn from one another and learn how to respect one another as oppposed to just judging someone by their appearance.

I use the enitre classroom to my advantage. I like to be interactive and I feel that it transfers over to my students in the classroom. Student engagement is very important in the Sociology class I teach because we discuss current societal issues that students can actively particpiate and share personal stories. I walk around the room so that everyone feels invovled and so I can be connected to each student, even if they do not like to participate. I do not know how to be still for longer than 3-5 mins, but I do not pace. I like to consider it "working the room."

to creat an atmoshpere for learning you must having the seating arrange where you students fill like they have plenty of personal space and that they are in an environment where they can make choises.

you must have order in your class in orders for the learners to learn and stay focuse. i have just learned the sat method and i have and will be using this method to keep the order in my class and to keep the learners learning.

Education can be considered as an art of providing quality information to students with the expectation that everything they learned from the classroom environment can be applied in the outside world. An instructor should remember providing quality education and at the same time continuously motivate students to achieve their goals. Fulfilling this objectives makes an instructor a "champion" in his or her field. Providing quality education helps students in so many areas of their lives and by giving them high motivation their confidence level will go also at a high level.

I find Video taping lectures and demonstrations very helpful. You see everything good and bad on the tape. A very good way to see ones own mannerism, gestures and voice projection. A good to way learn from it and improve for future lectures.

Moving back and forth in front of the class while lecturing is very frustrating. It is hard to pay attention while a person is moving back and forth like a pendulum.

It is important to have a brief eye contact to see that students are getting what is being said.

Love my students when they get excited about the subject matter and learn from each ithers styles............takes a while to figure out the individual needs........would like more on this topic to more quickly determine each students style.....they are only with us for a short time........better results if I could assess them more quickly.......

I ask alot of Q& A.......looking for more interactive questions and perhaps games to involve student more in the content they struggle with.

I have learned valuable data regarding the new test I will be writting.........bravo....

I fund testing in our format challenging and sometimes inefective to the subject matter.
