"Be creative, competent, and personable; as a result, student learning reflects the effort you put forth in class preparation." I use 10-minute demonstration videos and quick discussions to help drive lectures and prepare students for our lab. Once we go to the lab, I do a quick recap demonstration before proceeding. I love using quick lecture lessons, but I do not love lecturing. My students can stay engaged longer, and it helps teach the different learning styles.
When developing content for the class its best to deliver content in 10-15 minute intervals. utilizing different methods of teaching can help target all learners and keep engagement high throughout the instruction. retention drops after seven steps, so when teaching something in chronological order its important to remember not to have so many steps in one setting.
Powerpoint is just one of many methods to organize lecture notes.

Unfortunately, I am required to lecture, but I will attempt to use many examples and tell stories to try to keep people engaged.
using a variety of teaching styles better ensures the instructor's ability to reach all students. lesson and academic planning is also crucial to the educator's success
Vary the teaching style and remember humans can only retain between 5-7 new concepts at once

I learned that I must select deliveries that will enable the students to learn the materials and demonstrate mastery, while enjoying the process to the maximum extent possible.
set up your students for success by creating clear goals and expressing course material correctly
It’s important to lecture with learning style in mind. I appreciate how this course covered and demonstrating keep it to 5 to 7 steps for students.
Knowing your subject matter and being ready is very important
Got to make sure I have alternative Demos or regrouping methods when a demo doesn't work.
There are multiple ways to learn; it's important to teach in varied ways, using different methods to engage all types of learners.
Preparation before the class starts is the key to a successful lecture. limiting the lecture to 10-15 minutes is good as well
I believe that when delivering course content it is important that we inform students of what is to come as well as what is expected from them. In that way they are able to prepare them for content to be aware of during the lecture/demonstration.
Developing a lesson plan that creates a successful outcome in the classroom. Utilizing a variety of delivery methods to give my lecture a more focused driven approach.
