I learned that it is essential to get feedback from the students in an on line format to make sure the teaching tool is working.  I will use the demonstration model as it is very effective with a hands on type classroom.  This can be done by videoing myself and also using the white board to show how conversions are configured mathmatically in an upcoming pharmacology course.

I cannot count how many times the light bulb has turned on in me by preparing for teaching my students.  I also have experienced directly in the middle of teaching a thought that has further established the content of what I am teaching and I am able to relay that to the students.  There are also times that students have asked questions that I needed to research the answer and therefore learning more myself.  Therefore, I can say without reservation, yes, I do learn by teaching others.

My experience in initiating discussions surrounds open ended questioning with a component of research before one answers.  It must be substantiative and at least three full sentences with correct spelling and punctuation.
