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.

Incorporating Your Instructional Style Into Online Learning

My most recent challenge has been to incorporate my instructional style into teaching online classes. I've added podcasts, videos, my own lecture material (not canned ones from the publisher) and offered my students times to meet me and study with me on campus. How do all of you incorporate your unique style into the online learning environment?

Working with students with a disability

Students with disability tend to fall between the crack. If you know the signs of the disability you will be able to catch and help that student.

Group projects

Group projects are good to help the students that have trouble engaging in class. But be careful for those students that work well on their own and do not like working in groups.

Eye contact

By using eye contact with the students it let the student know that you are intuned with them or letting them know you are watching them.

The "New Guy"

Getting over the stigma of being the "New Guy" teacher is probably something many have gone through. I will be teaching my first classes ever in a few weeks. Just wondering if there are any suggestions as to how to come out of the gate at full speed and to gain the trust of the students quickly.

T/F questions

these questions are easy to form for instructor, but are not easy for students. Because they have only 50% chance to win or lose the points

COLORS THAT STIMULATE THINKING

I think colors can truly stimulate learners' mind because colors are first used for visual appealing then materials that are related to learning will be easily remembered in learners' mnemonics.

GROUP LEARNING

Group learning is definitely a quality initiative which can collaborate multiple intelligences to share their knowledge in such a way that lead them all to do the learning.

Many of my students who do poorly on written exams are my best performers in skill application tests

Testing

I prefer to make tests using material we specifically covered in class as opposed to the textbook exams

Mannerism

When entering into a classroom you as an instructor should be very careful of your mind set because as soon as you walk through the door all eyes are on you and students are reading you like a hit on face book. I guess what I'm saying is that anything that is not pertaing to the subject you are teaching leave it outside the class it could effect your teaching and the way your students respond to you.
