I am starting to train a new instructor.  I told him that if we become stagnant in the classroom, then we become useless.  We must always to striving to improve, grow and learn.  This is how we remain relevant to our students.  I want all of the ideas!  I think this is a great one.

Flipped classrooms are the way to go.  It gets the information to the students at their own pace and then you can use their new knowledge to expand what they know in the classroom setting.

I love the see it do it teach it way of teaching.  I use this in my classroom.  In fact I was helping another instructor the other day and I told them that this is my teaching strategy.

I have been using the flipped classroom for the past few years.  I love it!  The students come to class with a base knowledge of the subject and then I can help them take it to the next level through class discussions and hands on projects.

I think self-motivation is key in the classroom.  I know that you can do this by giving students buy-in, for the material.  This is done by making them feel like they have control over their education.  I give them options throughout the semester on what is coming next.  They get the same content, but the delivery is based on their needs / wants.  this creates by in, which creates motivation.

We need to set our own goals, but we need to encourage our students to set goals as well.

Based on the information provided, this module is not following it's own rules.  This is only using visual (reading) and not allowing for other types of learners to be fully engaged.  I don't know if they did that on purpose to see if we are connecting the dots or not.  

I agree with Meredith Butulis.  I need more information before I can make a decision on how to utilize this information.

I ensure that my grading is complete within 2 days of the assignment date.  This lets my students know that they matter to me.  

I ask for feedback from students as we finish up a big assignment and at the end of each semester.  This gives the students buy in, in the course so that they feel like they are in control of their education.
