Instructional Delivery & Assessment

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Freedom Writing and Active Learning

I am considering integrating a "Freedom Writers" aspect to my courses next quarter. The idea is that students would use writing as a means to not only work through their own problems, but also to inspire others. Has anyone used the "Freedom Writers" book before? I need tips/suggestions! Thanks in advanced!

Teaching Coding Visually

After reading through this module I gained some insight on how to teach Coding with teams of students and create a visual atmosphere. In my next lecture, I will incorporate this by placing students into small groups and have them to code different parts of the assignment and rotate them so that each student has an understanding of when to use each coding rule.

Phygmalion Effect

This is an interesting topic because in my own personal experience, just on the first day after the introduction of each one ,asking some witty questions about their lives, asking about their job, family and favorites, I can really tell which one can do it with ease and confidence in my classes and the ones with probable difficulty. I'll experience more on this type of effect.
