I have found that a great way to keep students focused is to prepare my handouts with some note pages at the end, that way they don't need a laptop to take notes. This and a combination of spot-demos really get students to pay attention.

The first day.

It is the perfect opportunity to start creating an image while explaining the boundaries of classroom activities.

When teaching a computer program.....

When I teach a program I always start with quick keys (hot-keys, short cuts). This way I can show them how to fully use the program.

Audio Games

I work an audio school and what we do is not a word game they have to listen and figure out the frequency, amount of compression and if theres any time based effect applied. This helps in there carrier and in developing there ears.

Im color Blind

Ok so i'm color blind and I have noticed that students tend to react to lighting a bit more than color. Most of the course I teach is on a projector and having a low light classroom before class starts helps, because they get in the mood for the class.

Diferent methods for a theory class.

What other methods can be used in a theory class, aside from using a white board or projector that would spark interest in a student?

When working with a sample is it a good Idea to bring a big sample? Wont this distract students from the lecture?

Guest Speaker

Wouldn't it help, or give perspective, to have a guest speaker with an opposing view than what students are normally tough?
