I learned that lectures are boring and try to make them short 10 to 15 minutes mini lectures and while doing demonstrations keep the steps between 5 to 7 after that comprehension drops significantly.
I learned that varying delivery methods helps reach different learning styles and keeps students engaged. I plan to combine short lectures with demonstrations and hands-on projects in my fashion and design classes to make learning more practical and relevant.
I learned it is important to utilize different learning styles.
Making modifications depending on students to keep engagement and interest is important.
its important to incorporate all different learning styles into the lectures as students all learn in different ways.
I learned the importance of having a rapport with your students, by doing this they will connect with content better and retention will be higher.
Also when preparing a demo keep it to 5 to 7 steps, humans are wired to only comprehend 5 to 7 items at a time and retention drops after that.
It’s important to know the learning styles of your students
different students learn in different ways
Demonstrations can be practiced and improved on with iterations.
Students learn by different delivery methods. It is good to utilize combination of methods to keep students engaged.
Teaching delivery methods are best when varied, to keep students engaged and interested in course content.
In delivering the course content it is important to create a syllabus that lists course objectives and expectations.
I learned that it is important to address students learning style and to make subject as engaging as possible.
Keeping each lesion fun and engaging for students. Demostrating things before class can help you make sure your 100% ready for the in class demo.
The content on demonstrations was helpful
I have learned that it is best to be prepared before class. If demonstrations need to be shown, I will properly prepare myself prior to showing my class.
Find creative ways to keep the attention of the class. When holding a demonstration stay within 5-7 steps and keep in mind everyone has a different learning style.
Keeping it interesting and interactive plays an important role for student retention.
In this module I learned that any and all classroom aids you can use to help students gain retention on the subject matter is appreciated and useful. The stats of students reading, listening and retaining information is helpful for future lesson plan development. Most importantly, don't overload the students with too much information on a particular subject matter as they will not retain it.
Just because we're handed assigned curriculum, doesn't mean we can't turn it into something tailored to the students
