ed 108 very informative on the way students learn, assimilate through tasks, more hands on less lecturing I have found to be an excellent way for students to recall.

I have just finished the course ED 105 and although I have been teaching for a while now , realize how valuable the information is in these courses.Planning and organizing course work for students is important but more than that I have leaned that being flexible and alwsy having a back up or plan B ready is critical. Classes do not always go as planned and sometimes you may finish early and need to fill in time, so it is handy to have bonus projects or work relevant to the course that you can add which I find the students… >>>

Reaching out to someone who is stressed out is a great thing to be a mentor and help them with less stress

I found this module very helpful some information I already use in class, I think it is very important as a culinary instructor that you tie together the academic side with the kitchen side and bring it all together. I feel it is important to tell students that our industry is not all glitz and glamour. Be 100 % honest 100% of the time and you will be turning the next successful group of chefs.

Assessments can be very challenging, sometimes we may tend to help the student along but in reality we are doing them an injustice by doing so. If we remember why we are teaching, for them to accelerate in the work force we need to hold our assessment to a high standard and make sure we are hitting all of our benchmarks and give the students what they need.  

How do you go about learning your students' names?

Do you develop your own online course or is it already developed (assignments, tests, etc.) when you are assigned to teach it?

If you teach an on-ground course and the same course online, do they contain the same content?

Are you allowed to make changes in the online course that you teach?

How many times a year do you teach the same online course?

Enjoyed all of the information I received in this course. Very usefull for myself and students.

I just completed the disabilities module to better enhance my teaching skill with those who might learn differently. It was a really good refresher on some of the nuances that help and I have previously had students with physical abilities that prevented them from doing some of the physical work, but we were able to find a work around. I think it has everything to do with flexibility. Any thoughts from others who have experienced something like this?

I got a lot of excelllent info. from the course on soft skills and hard skills.

I have just completed the above course.  I found it to be informative, however, the practise quiz and the final test did not seem to coordiate to me.  Any others have a feedback on this course and assessment?

I learned how to keep students involved in the classroom. I also learned some methods where I can help myself.

Hey everyone,

I'm planning on taking a few more training modules, which would you recommend?

thanks

Will

This course has helped me understand the legalities and that we must not change the contect of the learning course. People with disabilities just need some accomodations to further assist them.

Thank you,

I never realived that there were so many ways to ask a question. I am kinda new at all this, but I want everyone to know that it is important to question the students properly to be able to observe to learning going on in your class. I had gotten caught up in the closed questioning, not realizing that I was not really knowing if the students were learning what they needed from me.

I believe it is extremely important to try and motivate the students.

I try and motivate the students as soon as they walk into the classroom by

asking them about the material and giving them positive feedback.

Anyone else have any suggestions as to what they do to motivate students.

hope everyone has a wonderful day

It is critical to get all of the contact information from students upfront.  Their email, phone numbers and even addresses can come in handy in reaching out to them, if at some point they become inactive. 

As a leader and Instructor of your class the most important factor is that you must keep adult learners engaged, they will most likely drop from school if they do not feel it's worth their time.

This was a great course in identifing and handeling stress. It will help me greatly in the future for sure and I would recommend that everyone take this course. Stress is a major disrupter for productive teaching and can affect the students and everyone else around you. By learning to eliminate, reduce and manage stress, everything in one's life becomes much more managable.
