I liked the idea about keeping notes on how each lecture/class went and how the lecture can be improved for the next presentation. Additionally the tip on finding a positive comment to make for each student and how that will help if a correction on technique needs to be made later was helpful- keeping in mind how to build a relationship with the students.
Incorporate different learning styles, be creative, know my goals and communicate them at the beginning of each class. Remember the short periods of time that is optimal for a student to learn and create my lessons to be completed within those times. BE PREPARED. Best plans may become complicated.
There are different learning styles
Understanding the different learning styles allows the instructor to create opportunities for each student to learn from the lecture.
It's important to have some type of structure when lecturing. Good lecturing notes that breakdown a subject with bullet points or trees are good ways to stay within your topic. And although it might look good on paper practice makes it perfect and practice what you preach.
I’ve also learned that effective teaching involves purposeful planning, delivery, and reflection across multiple formats—from dynamic lectures to hands-on demonstrations and case-based learning. Variety in instructional methods keeps students engaged and supports deeper understanding. I plan to use these insights to diversify my approach, adapting each method to best meet the needs of my students and the subject matter.
It was interesting to observe the various learning styles.
Breaking content down into digestible bites that will allow my students to progress is my ultimate goal when creating a lesson plan.
Developing the course content involves reading the book and brakeing it down into the key concepts, and deciding on what process will be involved it teaching it to the students.
I think the different learning styles allows the educator to become creative; it is an opportunity to utilize different methods to assist students with their learning needs and retainment. To do so, the educator must be familiar and comfortable with the content and lesson plans.
Including students in the demonstrations, like having them be your hands, can help keep students engaged and the lesson in more likely to be retained.
I think going through the lesson plan prior to teaching would be the part that makes me feel the most prepared. Plan for ideal and plan for setbacks.
I’ve learned that delivering course content effectively means more than just presenting information—it’s about engaging students and making the material clear and meaningful. I’ve found that using a variety of teaching methods, like discussions, visuals, and real-life examples, helps keep students interested and improves understanding. Moving forward, I plan to continue exploring different ways to present content so that I can meet the diverse learning needs of my students and keep them actively involved in the learning process.
Create lectures that aren't overwhelmingly long. Create case studies and problem-based thinking activities. This gives students the opportunity to use the information given during the lecture and apply it during this class activities. This keeps them motivated.
Instructors wear several hats in a class. The variety of approaches discussed in the module offer options on how to effectively present the material. Students need to have a comfortable and appealing learning experience that will enable them to fully comprehend the subject matter. It is the instructor's responsibility to adopt a creative approach that best fits the needs of the students.
A variety of teaching methods can capture students attention and make learning more dynamic. Active learning and application of knowledge lead to better retention, comprehension, adaptability and collaboration skills.
In this module I learned that students learn in different learning styles. Tactile, Visual and Auditory are some of the styles that students use to learn different topics.
Use a varied approach to delivery and have the opportunity to adapt students' learning styles.
Being comfortable in the subject and practicing delivery is important. To keep the students engaged, shorter lectures and activities or examples of real-world scenarios are key. Also, making sure all learning styles are being met throughout class is important.
Help the students with activities and communication how they can learn something about themselves.
