Over the time of my teaching I have learned that students need to acquire soft skills to be successful in their chosen field. Many have not been trained these in a home setting and is greatly needed to see them succeed.

 

These tips are very instrumental inthe learning process. Students need to feel that they have an active role in the learning process with real world connections that will increase their desire for ownership while taking responsibility for their careers.

 

In being a teacher its very important to possess soft skills to ensure we are giveing the students the best learing experience and being a team player in the work environment. 

 

I really liked the commetn of the use of the tablet in comparison with real estate. Tablets highly consider Apps, Apps, Apps. Meaninbg the tablet should be viewed at it hightst regard with the number of Apps that can be utilized or received. Tablets make real sense to me it can be very instrumental in  the class or lab. 

 

This was a great experience and I learned that students need motivation to be successful foo online courses. Students need various methods of directions for assignments and projects. These could be diagrahams of various styles, sample sheets, videos or other visual aides to  assist all lerarning styles.  Friendly reminders are very needful as many students lifestyles prohibit them from being successful because they forget the coursework. Therefore, the use of these aides and ideas will be implemented.

While taking courses for my degree, I took primairly online courses and one of the amazing tools the instrutor used for our research and discussion board was Google Earth. The instructor gave us discussion questions and assignments based on the information given and we had to review and look up thingd all around the world. Then we would have to discuss our findings and give feed back. Really enjoyed it!

In this session I really think the idea that comes from almost every student WIIFM( whats in it for me) is so important to remember from the students perspective. Many times since we are dealing with 2nd career students they desire the "nuts and bolts" of their education. I try to keep it real so the students can keep their focus on why they entered school.

Primairly when a student starts late I try and set up a time to go over all what was missed and encourge them to use tutoring to get caught up and have all scheduled missed assignments ready for them with a 3-4 day deadline to turn in their work. I realize it may be a bit breathtaking for them but to minimize them from becoming discouraged and desiring to quit I give them a bit of breathing room while walking them through.

Many times I find it hard to engage a student when their desire is with another career focus and this was option 2 and not the primary focus. Therefore, retention has seemed to be a problem no matter  how hard you try to keep them.
