Hi Donna, I agree Students want to know about their instructors, but it is so imprtant to keep it at a professional level and not reveal to much inoformation. Thank you for sharing Vernise

Informal assessment should take place in the classroom on a regular basis. This includes evaluation of students as they interact with their peers, we can ask questions to make sure the students are student are retaining and understanding the information that we are sharing with them. I have found that incoroporating activities in segements of my lectures not only make the class more exciting but it also helps the studnet to become activitely invovled in their learning experience.

Taxonomy according to Bloom expands the framework of knowledge and cognitve process. There are four types of knowledge: Factual- basic elements that students must know Conceptual knowledge- interreltionship among basic elements within larger stuctures which allows them to work together. Procedural- refers to how to do things and the methods and steps that it takes to complete a task Metacognitive- knowing what you know. Taxonomy learning helps with writing a lesson plan, objective and clarifying what students should be able to know once the lesson is complete. Vernise

Lesson plans can be very helpful and is a necessary part of preparing a a well sturctured course that will not only fulfil the students educational needs but also meet the standards, objectives, rationale, procedures and assessments strategies of the course and college requirements. Vernise

Getting to know your students can be very helpful in planning your course. Students are interested in the instructors sharing things about themselves. Sometimes this allows student to share more freely about themselves. Gaining comprehensive knowledge about our students will help us as instructors to deliver best practice course studies for our students. Vernise

Mnuemonic allows the student to recall informationa for longer periods of time. It is a good way to help the adult learner learn and use course inofrmation. I like the use of examples that share the use of acronym and acrostics. Vernise

Using all resources available to maximize students learning in the classroom and lab are very beneficial for the the student and the instructor also. What channels would you suggest will be helpful in assisting students in their learning efforts? How can this help meet the needs of the students learning ability? Vernise

Using mutltiple intelligence is very advantageous for our student to have a positive learning experience. The three dominant intelligence are: 1. Logical Mathematical 2. Verbal Linguistic 3. Visual Spatial These in ML"s if used in the right content can be used as instruments to maximize the students learning abilites and help them to achieve their career goals. Vernise
