Tree diagram for your lessons. I have done this and it shows me some variation of the sequence of my lessons. Sometimes a class will have an interest in a specific lesson, and it helps if are confident in moving your lesons around to match the class peak interest/
1. Prepare different delivery style based on learning needs
I learned that I need to vary my teaching styles and lecturing styles to address the needs of all learners.
Teaching to the entire groups needs by teaching all learning styles and taking a step back to identify when we have to further modify our class.
Compared to when I was in nursing school, I am hands on with my students and right there to give feedback on their skills and learning. Usually, the first one has a bit of difficulty, but each student tends to learn from their peers. By then end, each has had that ah-ha moment. It's cool to see this happening. And, it's important, as everyone has suggested, to keep it intersting to maintain student engagement.
Keep the class interesting and change up the delivery method used to maintain student interest.
Vary the style of lecture to keep students engaged
Reply to Peter Zapf's post:thats true. the class get bored if they only listen to you lecturing!
Reply to Michael Mitchell's post:i have to work on that. mine takes longer.
i always try to use several different methods in the first few sessions and see how the students benefit more. Deonstration works better most of the times.
I think this reminds us that with all the knowledge in the world, everyone intakes it and delivers it differently. Everything starts with a game plan that has to be flexible to accomodate our students learning styles. We as teachers have to figure out how to delilver the information in the best possible way. Delivery is key. If the information cannot be delivered so the student can undersand, then we have not succeeeded in teaching that student.
to have an effective lesson planning and to improve my strategies in creating a good lecture
When instructing it is important to alter your methods of teachiing to meet the needs of every learning style of your student audience.
keep in mind attention spans and use differnet methods to convey a message
I think the best way to deliver course content is to do different teaching platforms like video showing, Quizlets, and games to keep the students engaged and make the learning process lively and not boring.
I like the suggestion for varying delivery of the lecture materials.
Go in prepared! write it out in an outline.
Important to keep attention and remember attention spans are less than 20 min!
Be creative. Remember that every student learns differently. Combine styles to help engagment of students.
When delivering course content, be sure to vary your methods and style to accommodate students with different learning types. Additionally, adhere closely to organizational policies as well to ensure the content you deliver is acceptable and in keeping with industry-wide standards.
