Hi Anjali - Welcome to ED 103! Too often instructors have students share information about themselves at the start of class but then never use that info. You are doing a terrific job of reaching your students by demonstrating that you heard and remember what they related about themselves. Excellent! Best wishes - Susan

Hi Andrea- Most of our students have come to us from high schools where the predominant teaching technique was lecture. Often we find that many of our students are kinesthetic or visual learners. They are thrilled when they thrive in that environment in our classrooms! Best wishes - Susan
