Backward chaining ,teaching from the end ,might work for computer classes but I do not think it works for medical classes as if I try that, student will say (Iam confused).But I like to enforce and debrief at the end of the class to show the big picture.

Absolutely. I love teaching and learning (two way communication) as I learn from my students things I was not exposed to in my career. I had MA student who finished surgical technician course before and took laser courses. He had no struggles in clinical skills classes specially naming surigical instruments. I enjoyed having him in my class and his questions/notes/feedback made learning process more fun.

I need some ,ore info.  Sounds interesting.

I find the most trouble I have implementing a flipped classroom is with student preparation.

I continually have the same students who are prepared and involve themselves the most but others who consistently arent and participate little.

How do others solve this problem?

This was ver informative.

Although I believe I have used some of the methods in this course, I thought the course was harder than I expected.

i AM ALWAYS INTERESTED IN STUDENTS FEED BACK AND HOW TO IMPROVE ALREADY KNOWN TEACHING METHODS.

I believe 'floating' around the classroom has made me aware of struggling students the most. I have always used this with very good sucess in keeping my students focused.

Outside of class, most of my students work. The biggest challenge to the flipped classroom  has been a reluctance to enage content until after they have been to class and found out how little they know.  With all of their other challenges, there is little motivation to do so otherwise.   However, I am considering an attempt at 'change management' to flip their habits.  I will call them content teasers....to help them acquire the habit of 'previewing' the class content, as opposed to 'studying' it for long lengths of time.   I see two options for this:

• Video introduction
• Discussion forum

This content teaser would be a <5 minute case study style scenario that requires what they will be learning to solve it.  Again, my goal is more of a habit change than full scale flipping.

Thoughts?  Anyone tried this?

How would you rate the basic skills needed for different jobs or tasks?

If my reading of history has taught me anything it is that those who wish to accomplish great things must continually work to improve their skills and their knowledge base. That being said they must also be prepared for a lot of set back and to work with no apparent reward in sight. The reason being is life has opportunities that occur at random intervals and it is how you do on these opportunities that will determine if you move up or if you move down.

Do people still do traditional teaching by power point?

Very good!!!

The first day of class. It is normal to feel anxiety, anticipation,excitementand a little bit of uncertainty.

3 Ms are very good blue print to follow.

Ideal guide for new teachers on how to properly manage a classroom

I enjoy putting a rolling powerpoint up prior to the students coming to class on the first day.  They take an interest in whatever the topic is and I believe it is committed to memory when we get on a bigger level of the topic.

Asking certain type questions can be helpfull to find out if a concepet is understood 

An instructor following the three Ms of modeling, managing, and motivating are very important...

How nervous were you guys on your first day of class?
