it is important to use a variety of teaching methods and be well balanced to have students consistenely engaged
The varying lecture styles was a helpful reminder for me. I do not lecture often but when I do I could use a different approach.
Hit the lecture as many different ways as possible so that you can as there are many different students in the class that learn in many different ways.
practice demonstrations first!
It is important to develop a rapport with students and vary instructional styles during class, It is also important to prepare demonstrations before class and limit the steps. Also, the attention span of adults is only about 10-15 mins so try to keep lectures brief and engaging.
Plan lesson in 5-7 short periods, using variety of learning styles.
Lecture is still an effective way to communicate but try to vary your class.
Make teaching exciting, creative, and passionate. Think of how you would want information taught and implement those strategies into the lesson.
Switch up your teaching styles and regularly assess how your students are responding to you.
I will ensure to vary the delivery of learning. Students have different learning styles.
I had just listened to a TED talk so it was interesting because then I read "We would all benefit from learning how TED talks are crafted". This is useful because the primary goal is to change us, through education, and not primarily via edutainment. If we want students to learn they only learn in the first 18 mins.
Be prepared, practice ahead of time, and critique yourself after any lecture to learn where improvement is needed. I enjoyed the Harvard professor who spoke about the 3 most impt things for students: learn the content, challenge your assumptions, and learn something about yourself:)
Effective planning and prior preparation of content to be taught results in beneficial teaching as well as learning.
Create lecture notes and organize your lectures into shorter 10-15 minute time frames.
Hello,
Syllabus and lesson plans should be accurate and well written so the students can understanding. There are different learning styles, you have to know your students to ensure they are understanding the materials and ensure they are engaging, asking questions.
It is important to implements many teaching styles so students do not get bored. Also not every student likes the same methods and some students may benefit from different learning styles.
Take into account the different learning methods for your students and use different delivery methods to bolster understanding of course content.
Using a lesson plan helps achieve the desired information getting to the students both in class and labs.
Take time to prepare for lesson plans and use different teaching styles to reach as many students as possible. Take notes on how effective your teaching is and build on what you can do better. You should keep lectures to a minimum of 10 - 15 minutes to keep the attention of the students.
Learned that variation in delivery of course content helps to stiumlate learning and keep students interested.
