About me
Activity
I just finished ED 101. This course was not part of my baseline, but the school at which I teach prompted the other instructors to get started. It was very basic for a seasoned instructor. However, I did see value for the new teacher.
Interesting observation Nichelle. I'm not sure why, except the students coming up are used to getting positive feedback regardless of the quality of the work. They've learned that quality doesn't matter, so they turn in sub-par performance. An audult student that wrote and formatted a rough draft for a term paper into 7 separate documents expected me to put it together for her. When I told her that I will show her how to put it together, but I won't do it for her she commented, "well aren't you proud of me that I wrote a paper?"
I'm wanting to add more creative learning strageties to my instruction. Students often comment that the course (Psychology) is interesting, but I'm always looking for ways to create an interactive learning environment.
The format is a healthy mixture of experience and beginners enthusiasm. I enjoy the practical nature of the courses and the interaction with other instructors.
