About me

My name is Tim Hays. I've had an intense interest in make up and special fx, but I have a passion for filmmaking. I try to understand each skill that it takes to make a successful film.

Activity

This module has really made sense of how I tend to explain things and how I can ascertain the comprehension level of each student. It's like a road map of how to properly lay out a lesson plan.

In ED 114, it really helps to understand, not only the various types of questions, but also how they tend to be comprehended by others and how to tactfully use them to teach effectively.

Being from the Gen X and teaching Gen Y was definitely a learning experience. After I took the ED117, it definitely opened my eyes to many, many things. Not only explained a lot of observations, but also offered new and exciting ways to keep the students interacting and excited about the syllabus.

I keep my lectures and demonstrations as brief as possible and sort of like a stand-up comic routine. It keeps the students interested and the mood light and they look forward to coming in everyday. They really enjoy taking the class and really retain the information that was taught.

Sometimes, I would have the students write their own reasons why they are taking my course and what they hope to do with the knowledge afterwards. I compare what they wrote with my own notes.

It's good to know that a lot of the methods of teaching that I already use are ones that they suggest, but  whenever I take these courses I always learn something new. These courses not only instruct various techniques, but also explain why they are effective and various ways to use them.

I haven't taken many online teaching courses, but I really liked learning from this site. It was very informative and very positive. It had some great ideas for keeping the students interested and motivated.
