It's very important to find your best delivery method when giving a lecture to your class. You want to keep it interesting and exciting. Keep your class attention is very important. Remember to practice your delivery.
Set up your lesson plan in 10-15 minute time limit.
You have to figure out how to best relay the material to the students seeing as not everyone learns the same and you need to figure out how to keep your students engaged.
Adult learners have one predominant learning style. Integrate different delivery methods of the course contents. Keeps them engaged and addresses the variance in learning.
Do not limit yourself to one teaching style, there may be other methods for gwtting your point across easier and always make sure to have multiple examples in different styles to create better understanding of you lesson.
"Make notes about the lecture. When you complete the class it is a good idea to immediately make some notes about your observations of how the lecture went. These notes should be brief and to the point concerning successes and rough sections. Make these notes while the lecture is fresh in your mind. When you prepare to give this lecture again these notes will serve to jog your memory about points you want to make and improvements that you can implement."
I think reflecting over my class is a good way to improve my classroom presentation.
Your lesson plan is a guide to be followed not a step by step ridgid plan.
I need to look a little deeper into the different learning styles in order to match the name with the technique, but I honestly think the things that were descibed were in my orginal plans. I hope I can keep this resorce to review throught my career.
I've learned that it is good to vary your teaching techniques and styles and that it is ok to change you teaching plans over the semeseter/time of class.
In the chapter I learned that we should strive to use different lecture formats as well as using training aids to teach all typesof learning styles.
Preparation is essential to improving your ability to clearly deliver. Employ multiple learning strategies so that individuals can learn based on their preference. Break up the material with interactive and communal activities that foster productive exchange between students. Learning from one another is a critical aspect of many fields and beginning that collaboration in the classroom will help significantly long-term.
To be an effective instructor, one must be ab;e to use various teachimg methods and provide learning in a way that is intersting to the students.
I like the 15-20 minute blocks of mini-lectures. This should help keep the attention of students. The same with using a variety of teaching methods.
I learned that you should arrive to class early to prevent a cold start to class. This will help to better engage your students.
Having a road map or guide to the class will help alleviate any nervous energy about how we might be feeling that first day. Having a refernce sheet with our important topics on it will allow us to maintain a speed and delivery option that is beneficial to our students.
To have insight on different learning styles and keeping up to date with new technology
ensure you teavh in different styles throuighout the course.
It is important to try different teaching methods so that the students with different learning styles can benefit
No matter how many times you have performed a procedure/demonstration, always practice beforehand to find the best ways to teach students.
When student learn, they
1) learn new content
2) question their assumptions and either accept them or reject them to create new ideas
3) learn something about themselves and are then motivated to learn more
I am inspired to create a learning environment that develops reflection from the student of their learning.
