Writing our lesson plan I took into concideration that someone with less experiance than myself will have to teach this course as well. Putting in a step by step "how to" for the student anso helps with a covering or "sub" for the day

Using Social Networks

in our technical school social networks are only used on a limited basis, to keep students informed of up coming events and such. No real place in our classroom.

Gen Y'ers

I find in a technical school that the gen y'ers are easily distracted during lecture. but during a hands on lab situation they are much more attentive.

retention

We will have each student do a task multible times. This will increase the retention more than just having the student do it once and move on.

reviews

We have self study assignments that we review just to make sure the student reads the lesson plan for the following day. this helps the student get an understanding of what will be covered that day.

The Learning Process

This process is different for each student. One may be "book" smart, One may need to "See It" while another may be "Hands On". a quality instructor has to adapt to each learning style.
