Smart Student Motivation

I have no problem asking the student who has knowledge a few extra questions, but a few questions could develop. The student could start showing off, other students might feel resentful. I have had instances where the student had wrong information and they shared their wrong beliefs with the rest of the class. Often there is no one so strong in their beleifs as someone who is wrong. I will ask how they came to their knowledge or beleif and share how I see other nurses practice in a manner that is not always correct. I know that I must… >>>

Informed

I just finished ED 111 and looking at interactive education helps me to think how I recreate the curriculum I teach as well as the curriculum I help other faculty teach in a more appealing manner. Shorter presentations with students doing more of the work and incorporating other styles into the classroom help to increase retention and true learning. I have to admit, I can only sit so long with a lecture before zoning out, my students have an even shorter attention span.

ED109 Lesson Planning

The information in ED 109 was useful. I have not used pretests and this is a strategy I think I will need to consider more often. I also want to develop a universal rubric for courses which can be adapted to invidual course needs.

ED103

I think ED 103 reminds us that not all students learn the same way and intelligence is not linked to the way we learn. Knowing how we as instructors can give us insight into teaching methods and update our methodoogies and outlook.

ED 102

I enjoyed the course, supplied excellent theory. This course should be longer and given as an anchor course. The application of theory was engaging and hinted at some advanced theory in education from MSN/Ed courses. Nice!

ED107

I find it very interesting the discussion about expections and self fulfilling prophecy with students. It is a very delicate balance between truly objectively evaluating a students performance, not discouraging them and holding same standards for all. I must admit, I have been pleasantly surprised by a few students who I was not so sure were going to be succcessful or as successful as they were. This does demonstrate that we should not judge the students before us, and give them every chance to succeed.

ED101

Good review of the basics. Did like going over student background. I used to do this and pass on the information to other instructors as well clinical instructors. This gives insight to their instructors as well as allowing students as well instructors a baseline to view how a student progresses.

letting the students get updates

I prefer to let the student know where they stand early on. I speak to them, write it on a form, and place it electronically so other instructors and administration may view it. This way students may either show progress (which most do) or if they do not, the can not say they did not know anything about it, that this was the first they heard about it. It is very uncomfortable to have a student go to adminsitration and say this is all news to me and you have spent hours with the student. Unfortunately some students will play… >>>
