It is with making a difficult decision which must be made if the instructor has to have a disruptive student removed from the classroom.  However, an instructor must demand respect and maintain control of his/her classroom.

Appreciate the idea mentions here that it would be good to give the disruptive students an opportunity to listen to the recorded lecture then give them 1 minute to write down the important points.

The idea to allow the disruptive student to share there comments to a class when they are seeking attention or manipulating the instructor may be embarassing, however, this action may direct their tactics to a greater level of maturity.  

It seems like whatever method the instructor uses to get the student not to bring a phone to class the phones reappear.  There need to be a stronger penalty.  Any ideas?

The syllabi is very important for students to be aware of expectation necessary to pass the course, know expectations and what they have to accomplish.  Making sure the due dates for assignments are accurate and posted in the syllabus.

Discuss the importance for student participation in sustaining a positive learning environment.  How does direct interaction between peers, an instructors motivate the learning environment and make learning fun?

It helps to keep the momentum for students to  have high levels of enthuasiasm.  This brings excitement and positive anticipation.

It motivates students when they can see that the instructor is as excited about the subject and demonstrates knowledge.  This encourages the student to want the same outcomes.
