Setting the tone

I think it is important to get the class started on the right note. I learned allot of techniques to accomplish this task. Thanks

Using lecture note cards

I don’t like the idea of being stuck in front Of a podium having to read my lecture notes from A Book During lecture. Having notes on 3x5 cards Is a great idea for me to be able to move around The class room and engage the students. I will Definitely bring that idea back to the class Room with Me. Thank You!

On top of the Game!

To stay on top, an instructor must be prepared for the unexpected as well as the unexpected. One must adapt to changing environments. Different student behavior & attitudes should have as little impact on the progress of your course plan if your on top of your Game!

Dyslexia

With out a doubt this course helped me to understand what this disability is about and the challenges that the students face. Also how I can go about trying to help students to succeed. I appreciate this course. Good course.

Students with learning dissabilities

I truly learnt alot from this course about students with learning diabilities. This course has been an eye opener for me.

Strategies for success

I do appreciate the success strategies suggested in this course to help deal with students with English as the learning language. And also the point that many of these success strategies can even help with students outside this group.

Learning groups

Through this course I have come to appreciate the effect that placing students in groups can do to help contribute to how effective students are in class and also helps in building bonds with students.

Repeating and repeating

I understand how repeating the same point to some degree can cause some students to tune out. What do I do if I can see and feel students getting bored and tuning out with repeating a certain point over board during a lecture?

Budget time for Questions.

Do you have any suggestion on how to deal with students not asking questions as much as required to fill the time slot alotted especially when lectures are prepared not to fill all of the class time?

Getting to know each other stage.

I wanted to add to the process of helping students get to know each other. During introducing ourselves as instructors I know we have to take the lead and set the pase for how students will react to each other as well as to us as the instructor all the while keeping mind that these are adults like ourselves so we can't push and seek too much personal information.

More video tapes an option?

Continuing my question about constant nervousness in class lectures.Do you think I should do more video tapes to offset the effect my nerves might have on my students grasping lessons effectively?

Nervousness

No matter how prepared I am with my lesson plans and knowledge I am still always a little nervous and feels that interferes with the way I deliver my lectures because I know students can probabely sense nerves. Any suggestions?

New Was Of Presenting Information

I like teaching using as many of the styles that I can during the class. My problem is that after a few months I lose interest in the formats that I have been using. Where can I find information on how to present the information without boring the students or myself?

contracting moving around and fidgeting.

At some point I got the understanding that it was not too good to move around while teaching because it seems like pacing and fidgeting and can cause students to focus on your movements rather than the lesson at hand but then another subject area pointed out that it helps students to stay more focus when instructor moves around and also it can be said that the instructor is claiming the whole classroom as the whole teaching territory therefore moving around is a absolute must to keep students engaged. I guess the difference is the pace of the movements?
