I learned that enthusiasm and positive mindset can inspire a student and their willingness to accomplish their goals. 

After learning TC in the section I will see my students in different colors and interactions with each other. 

Each model represents different perspective on how to explain personality. Instructors should pay attention to these traits. It can help achieve more successful outcomes during interactive teaching/learning. I was once asked to name my favorite color and explain why it was my favorite color during a job interview. To this day I am always intrigued at what the interviewer was seeking and what I learned about myself. 

The goal is to develop intrinsic motivation but extrinsic motivation and rewards are a pathway to intrisic motivation. 

I found myself thinking about a few new ways to implement active learning to improve security and autonomy for the student. A few take home activities for my classes are mind-mapping at the end of class, pair questioning, and short quizzes at the beginning of each class (perhaps a review of last week or reading content). 

Group activities can further drive active collaborative and active learning. I plan to add activities to my courses that challenge my students to think critically about their topics. 

I am adding active learning activities to my current and future courses that align with my topics and requirements for the student's enhancement. The use of rubrics will give guidance in my grading. 

It is important to explain the purpose of the activity. Active learning can be ineffective if the student lacks the understanding and purpose of the activity. 

Active learning takes the learner from passive learning to an active enviroment where the student can apply problem solving and relate the course content to real life situations and application. 

Online learning provides flexibility for students in an environment that has increased demands for those who have work, family, and other responsibilities. One of the biggest challenges with online learning is time management.
