Activity

Learned great info regarding student empowerment and them taking ownership of their learning the material and skills and its application in the field.

It was an interesting course and I learned about a variety of activities that can be incorporated into the class time to make learning more fun, interesting and lively for the students. I plan to utilize some of these games to enhance the memorization and / or learning process. 

This module made me aware of many interesting interactive games to introduce in the class room setting to make learning fun rather than pure memorization. I was familiar with crossword and word search activities but ball toss, finding the match or flip card games seem very promising and fun activities.

It was interesting to know that the new concept / terminology should be exposed to students and possibly in different exciting ways, at least 6 times to get 90% retention results. The facts that 80% of students are visual learners and when emotions are tied to any learning, it commits to long term memory quicker were very interesting.

I have learned from this module that objectives should be based on standards and should be specific, measurable and clear for the students and instructors. 

A successful instructor should always have detailed lesson plans with time management which will be very beneficial for the class and students. Keeping lesson plans in a folder is a great idea as anyone can have access to them in your absence, incase another instructor has to cover for you.

Through this course, I learned that there are a lot of things that we need to keep in mind before preparing a lesson plan for the class. We need to make changes in the lesson plans for each set of class. One lesson plan may not completely fulfil the requirements of the next set of students even though the contents to be covered may be the same. Instructors need to be flexible and have a plan B always ready incase your main plan doesn't work.

After taking this course, I am well versed with the the different learning styles of each generation as how different available technology was for each generation. As a instructor, one should keep that in mind while teaching a multigenerational class of students. It was interesting to learn all the varied characteristics of all the different generations and how it could affect their learning styles.

This course was very informative and provided very practical ways to manage the classroom behavior with disruptive students. I needed to know all about it. 

I learned that there are the 4 types/styles of instructors. Also I was able to identify what kind of style I follow and what changes I need to make to improve my teaching style and provide the best teaching to the adult students.
