I learned the importance of developing good lesson plans that are concise. Also, the importance of keeping lectures to 10-15 minutes and use a variety of delivery methods to meet all students needs.

evaluate my teaching style and students learning styles.
I do not have much experience creating lesson plans, but I need to think carefully about the content, goals and objectives, delivery methods to reach various learning styles, evaluation procedures, materials needed, and make sure I am paying attention to the time.
So have good rapport=retention, lecture in 10-15 min increments, have a variety of learning ongoing styles to meet all needs, problem solve as you go along.
I learned the importance of preparation and using various delivery methods of course content. This keeps students engaged and helps their knowledge retention.
The instructor should do their best to encourage the class to participate. The instructor should build a rapport with their students and gauge their interest in attending class. The instructor should attempt to use multiple learning styles because not all students learn the same way.
Variety of teaching styles will help the instructor get know all the students and how to help them. Not every student learns the same way, so as the instructor it is important to learn the different ways to improve the learning of the students.
It is important to assure all types of leaning styles get addressed when teaching to ensure the attention of everyone. Being a well prepared instructor gives the students confidence in you and will assist in trust that you are a knowledgeable instructor. Be prepared for class, spend some time talking to the students prior to class to get some insite about them.
Being prepared is important. Trying to teach and adapt to the different learning styles to all students is important, to keep them engaged in what material is being taught and make it relatable if possible.
The average attention span of an adult learner is 15-18 minutes. I found this extremely informative. As teachers we need to be aware of Statics like this so when we are teaching through lecture, we make sure we are breaking it up into 15 min intervals. That we make sure that we are being engaging while we are teaching. We need to plan out lectures to make sure we are getting the content across to students in a way that will excite them and keep their attention.
I learned that it is important to try out different teaching techniques because other students may not learn the same as their peers.
Consistently utilize all of the different learning types
I like the idea of mini lectures consisting of 15-18 minutes. This allow students the opportunity to not only learn the content but also retain it.
Cater your teaching to different learning styles.
Planning and preparing is key.
I learned in this module that having only one teaching style isn't as effective as having several teaching styles to accommodate all learning types. I learned that it is also a good idea to have several teaching styles because different learning activities could keep the students engaged in learning objectives.
a plan is our compass for the course, and vary your teaching style is a good idea becouse the student would learn a different ways to get things done.
I'm going to try and implement the "changing your class opening" tactic for my classes. I like to start most classes with a quote, but sometimes I think changing it up would be a good thing for class engagement. Such as starting a class with a problem statement or startling fact.
Different styles of student learning
- Written words- writing down information and reading
- Auditory- Listening
- Visual- Sending pictures, diagrams and illustrations
- Tactile- touch with eyes, hands and body coordination
These different student learning styles are helpful in assisting how you will lecture your class to get the information across.
It is important to develop content because students learn in different ways.
