AS AN INSTRUCTOR I FOUND THAT USING A STRUCTURED LESSON PLAN/ AND OR LECTURE NOTES WILL ENABLE ME TO REACH OUT TO EACH STUDENT LEARNING STYLES.
This was one of the best lessons I have done. I try hard to keep my lessons more of a discussion. It does keep the students involve with a lot of questions. At the beginning of the lesson I have all the students close their books and just listen to me as I go over the lesson content and give general information in the hope that it will spark questioning. I am going to use this method with the note taking after the discussion next lesson.
Hi Dominick,
When I teach some of my computer courses, I let my students know that I am deviating from the book, but the concepts are still being taught. Students like it when we are so knowledgeable that we do not have to follow the book verbatim.

I encourage students to keep their textbooks closed during class discussion. However, I have found that it is sometimes difficult for those students that prefer to highlight in their text and then write their own notes on their own time.
Hi Charlotte,
I let my students follow me as I teach with their textbook open. I have found that students like knowing where you are getting the information from. As mentioned, some students like highlighting/marking in their book as you lecture.
