Hello All,
I'm gearing up for my first teaching class, I'm excited and wanted to know if anyone had any experiences of their first class please.
Kind regards,

Simulation labs really helps the students in performing skills at the clinical area. In clinical setting , if we have skills need to perform , it is really very helpful to ask the students what they learned and remember during skill labs . Allowing the students to perform during skills labs helps them to build confidence to perform the procedure at clinical areas.
As an Instructor, and I choose a textbook as a tool, I must be familiar with the contents and delivery inorder for it to become an effective teaching tool. The contents of the book should be correct, precise and accurate.
My students can learn theory when they apply themselves. It seems to be the soft skills that they have challenges with. How to communicate and behave appropriate is where they fall short
It was great to learn what the five cs were.
Credible
Candid
compassionate
comitted
clear.
How do you remain compassionate with out getting sucked in and becoming a pal to you students?
I find it interesting that students remember the stories I tell them in the classroom. I've learned to lecture in a story-telling way where the content is being delivered in a story format.
The information in this section was great. I am a new teacher and this data was exactly what I needed it lets me know that I am doing the right things to promote the learning process, and it's given me ideas on how I can improve my skill.
I found it helpful. Some things were a reminder. others were new. I like the idea of 15 minute segments. Even if the topic doesn't change the delivery system can. I think this might help keep the students engaged.
So much violence nd crime. One cannot watch TB, listen to the radio, unless crime and violence is mentioned. We are living in critical times hard to deal with.
I would like to find out more about troubleshooting issues in a flipped classroom. How does the facilitator respond when students do not watch the prerecorded material or when many of the students have ADD and have a difficult time in group activities? Thanks,
Just as a lot of people have personal choices in music they will also have personal or blended ways of learning. Make sure that you can explain material and give examples in at least 3-4 ways, Also use your students as a resource. Sometimes a student will relate better to a slightly different expaination form another student to finish opening the door with the explaination you used.
more indepth
Great Lesson learned alot of Good info
I feel like testing would remain the same if the instructor as a facilitator could make sure that key points are covered in the discussion.
I understand this concept, but it seems starting at the building blocks of a subject and add to the information as you teach seems to be a logical way of teaching.
In every class there are the quiet ones and the loud, know-all atudents.
I really like the idea of students wrtiting questions they are afraid to ask on notecards, and after break go over
them and provide answers.
When I think back to the best teachers I had they all had this interactive style even though that wasn't taught to them or expected back inthe day. It was sit and listen to the lecture or you are disrespectful
I am interested in being a Facilitator of a flipped classroom. Also, I am relieved to know that I do not need to flip my classroom all at one time. Most of all, what I think what will help me is to hear/read testimonies/experiences from Instructors that are already flipping the classroom. What are their suggestions/feedback?
How would you capture and filter a packet?
Every class has its' own specific environment, not necessarly coordinated by the instructor. Some classes are loud and boistrous; others are very quiet and not very responsive. What are your suggestions for students, in a class as a whole, have difficulty participating and to get students to participate. These are the classes where essentially no one can answer a question or cannot use critical thinking skills to answer a question. Perhaps this is a group speak phenomena.
