I found ED109 helpfull since I come from a trade background writing lesson plans have always been rough, I have since started teaching OSHA so being able to write my own lesson plan being trade specific will be very helpfull moving forward . Thank You
As instructors you strive to reach all students and must first identify individual learning styles and interests of your students.Some students have a lot of good questions which are welcome.Other students are quiet and don't provide any feedback to the instructor.As instructors you must adapt to the situation and needs of your group.
keeping up on technology will help ensure you students are getting the most acurate inforation that will help them in their jobs
Keeping a master book/log to document what worked well and didn't so that when I repeat the course, I can refer to the notes.
Working backward from your notes and support materials toward the end goal is one way to strengthen your lesson plans.
Support material can help you better prepare lessons and teach students. Keeping up and knowing the latest technologies can aid in delivery of instructional material in the most meaningful way to students when traditional means will not work. Use of various assessment methodology will aid in and benefit students so that they understand what they are learning and where they need to be along the way.
Starting with the end in mind and then working backward to the first point of contact can help ensure that all aspects of the learning expereince are integrated and align with the intent of the course.
I am going to embrace technology because it will aid me and my students as a teacher, even though, personally, I have mixed feelings about the direction technology can take.
My big take away is the importance of staying current on new pedagogies, technoligies, change in demographics and needs. I would extend the point by anticipating the future.
Assessments are crucial to ensuring the lessons are having the intended effect(s). Using formative assessments should identify any adjustment the instructor must make in order to maximize the learning for students.
I personally use notes to keep on task or provide supplemental information not covered in the material. I find notes an important tool to staying on topic and just as importantly perhaps - on time.
Both Lecture Notes and the integration of technological assets can prove to be very beneficial to both the teacher and the student.
I am a new instructor and I will be teaching to a broad range of students whoes ages can range from 18-80 years old. The learning styles are going to be varied for sure. Since I have to teach to Marine Industry Standards for thier career requirments and Industry Certification. I feel optimistic in having the Standards as the foundation for the course content. I am a little anxious about presenting to the class however, I am sure those feelings will go away as I prepare myself by reading the text and Standards throughly and using Blooms' Taxonomy to create structure to the cirriculum.
Understanding your students and their abilities is a crucial aspect of lesson planning. Creating enough content so the majority of the class is not overwhelmed or bored is necessary for the class to run smoothly. This will change with every class you teach!
It is critical to provide activities and resources that will keep students engaged. Technology resources are particularly important, as students tend to be tech-savvy. Use of tech resources in the classroom must be monitored, witha definite goal to accomplish by the end of the class session or students may lose focus and be distracted by social media, games, or other distractions the technology provides. TEchnology should also be chosen in conjunction with field standards. I will include resources for interaction, whether technology or printed in each of my lessons.
It is ciritical to leverage support materials and technology to make the presentation relevant and provide the students potential tools for use afterwards. Making instructor notes allows the instructor to fine-tune his class.
I have learmed about the importance of putting things in perspective. As an instructor, I need to find over the time the stratefy that works for me by adding variety in my teaching strategy and keeping notes.
this module has provided useful insight on materials and technology and ideas on how to use them.
Technology integration can play a huge role as a support material. the use of technology can help you reach all different types of learners in your classroom. It also helps the instructor deliver the content in different ways; it's one good way to maintain student attention.
Maximizing the use of technology where practical and applicable will aid students who are digital natives. Using good supporting material is critical to keeping student's attention and providing additional opportunities to reach students.
