Don’t make the assumption that low English skills means low intelligence levels. A lot of my ELL students are highly intelligent. Provide them with a safe and comfortable environment and challenge them.

ELL students succeed with caring instructors and supportive environment

Respect for cultural differences should be at the center of the instructor's approach to ELL students

benefits to students and educators. Plagiarism check add on to LMS needed as plagiarism using AI is increasing

help explain. give ideas. review questions, create videos of concepts? Plagarism is a concern. 

A lot of possibilities with AI use in Education. Some drawbacks but all in favor of using it in the classroom.

Benefits of using AI in teaching and for learning. How it can save time. Help with analogies. Explaining difficult concepts. Make up questions. Help the student learn.

Guiding the students through problem solving steps will help them to develop this valuable skill and will lead to them carrying on this ability in their future career situations.

Often forgotten about is the power of reflection. Taking the time to think (and to think outside of the box), be creative, ask the right questions, all help to grow problem solving skills.

What I have learned: Questions students ask when listening to a lecture; how discipline and judgment come into play with critical thinking; asking the right questions to generate critical thinking; using case studies to increase problem solving; add critical thinking questions to assessments; practice critical thinking and problem solving in the classroom before moving to an assessment.
