I am a Massage Theory and Practice Instructor

I have been teaching Massage Theory and Practice for 15 years. We do incorporate some technology into the classroom. I would like to incorporate more, but I'm not sure where to start? It seems like most of the software we use is geared toward the A & P classes. Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

I feel that all of the students should use social media, and the instructors should work it into the class, but the instructors should not be on the social media sites that the students are also on. There is a line that could be crossed.

Active Learning

Active Learning includes getting their hands on it early. One of the things that I like to do is having taken a part engines to see all of the content. Once the student has seen the internals of the engine it make class time go easier and smoother.

Learning Styles

What are some examples of classroom activities that are presented to adult learner through the learning styles of audio, visual or hands on? I have included these types of techniques which has increased the student interaction within class such as oral powerpoint presentations. In addition, I have given positive feedback and encouragement to the students during their presentations; which is great motivation for them.

Classroom Portal Discussions

One option that I have used in the past is to create a discussion thread thru our student portal by placing a question to discuss. I offer participation reward points for keeping the thread active. Students benefit too by checking in their portal for any new classroom info or any new announcements.

Wiki Assignments

I just signed up to wiki and told my class about it and put up an extra credit assignment and received the work from most of my students including some who sits in the back row. What a great tool to use, providing that the student has access to the internet. Not all students can afford this luxury.
