Questioning Techniques

Hi Kathi - I completely agree! Asking students to share their experiences makes concepts more real and applicable. Questions like "How do you think you will be able to use this on the job?" get students to grasp the relevance of what they are learning. Best wishes - Susan

Hi Christopher- Welcome to ED 103! I think that is an excellent technique, it does give you a clear picture of whether just one student missed the material or the whole class has a deficit. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career! Susan

Learning Styles

Hi Dianne - Welcome to ED 103! That is a really short time with a group of students, but it sounds like you have a diversity of delivery styles built in. Be sure to add some visual aids to your lecture though. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career! Susan
