There several effective ways to keep the attention of students, allow them to learn and grasp information, and to make what is learned transferable to real-life situations. Also, that it is O.K. and important to switch things up a bit sometimes as it prevents rigidity and also helps to keep things interesting.
I like to practice the labs and stuff we require students to do so I can do it with ease for them
creating different styles for students to engage in ways that beast fulfills their learning abilities.
Many different ways to learn with many different students. All having different points of view about your instruction. Endless possibilities to improve as an instructor. Keeping the information short and sweet while trying to keep everyone engaged and focused on learning. I also like the idea of videotaping the course to see if there are any redundancies with the teaching style or mannerisms.
There are many different ways to deliver course content. Breaking a class down into sections and delivering 10-15 minute mini lectures can make it more digestible. Lectures and demonstrations go hand in hand and can be utilized together to deliver course content to students.
I did not know that as humans we can only manage 5-7 steps before not understanding. I will have to keep this in mind.
video self to watch back and take notes
I learned 5-7 steps is about how many steps someone can remember before loosing information. Also micro lessons are more effective than bulk chunk lessons.
I appreciate the preview. Also the short blocks of learning and having clear goals for those blocks.
I took away from this section that you have to be able. To teach in a way each student can comprehend the information you are presenting.
Creating a variation in lecture delivery style and how to conduct labs can keep students engaged.

Using different types of teaching, learning, and lectures styles will impact most of the students and keep them engage and motivated to learn in class.
Practice! Practice! Practice! Preparation is key to successful lecturing, also I learned to keep lectures short, sweet, and to the point for 15 to 18minutes max.
From this module, I learned that developing effective course content requires aligning objectives, materials, and activities with student learning needs. I also learned the importance of selecting accurate, relevant, and appropriately leveled resources to support understanding. I intend to apply this by carefully planning each lesson, choosing textbooks and supplemental materials that reinforce learning, and designing activities that allow students to apply their knowledge in meaningful ways. This approach will help ensure that students remain engaged and can transfer what they learn to real-world situations.
4 Learning Styles
Written Word: Writing things down
Auditory: Listening
Visualization: Pictures, Diagrams & Illustraions
Tactile: Hands On, Touch & Manipulative Activities
It is important to plan your lesson to accommodate all learning styles.
Varying lecture styles along with an interactive activity keeps students engaged and motivated.
Practice before class and make sure you are able to vary your teaching methods,
it is important to build a connection with students, this will make you more relatable and retention will be higher. It is important to give nuggets of information rather than long lectures and be prepared
Comment on Suzanne Campoli's post: I agree with your statement. Using stories that relate to the content being taught usually work well in aiding students to retain the information better.
