Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Walking around during class sessions is important, to get to be familiar with each one of your students. Using games to practice the lesson learned is fun and student learns successfully.
Finding different way of teaching will help any schooler become a better facilitater
The Most Effective instructor is TO be someone who embodies both the qualities of a "scholar" with a deep knowledge base in their field and a "facilitator" who actively engages students in the learning process, fostering critical thinking and meaningful discussion.
I will try to conduct class through discussion based approach rather than just delivering the lecture , presenting the ppt, and showing youtube videos on the subject matter. Hopefully this will lead to active and meaningful involvement.
I also plan on self reflecting by reviewing at least one session recording / week so I can plan the next class accordingly.

Incorporating different teaching methodologies such as lecture, flipped classroom, role play, quizzes from Kahoot/jeopardy platform for active participation and engagement of the learners.
I can use fun ways to help the students learn the content.
I learned not to be afraid to facilitate and to expand my teaching into new methods.
The content curriculum is so packed with our program- need to find ways to streamline this to incorporate these facilitation methods as time is short and material is copious and dense.
Luego de pasar varios cursos pedagógicos, sobre el tema, y haber tenido experiencias como docente considero que este curso viene a afianzar mis conocimientos en relación a la pedagogía y la didáctica para ser un buen instructor comunicador-facilitador
Be present motivated walk the room instead of staying in front of the class the entire time to engage the shy students in back to feel more comfortable and more likely to speak up and ensures everyone is understanding the concept you are relaying.
Do not be afraid to facilitate and expand new ways to teach . Ask students to participate in the learning process.
sage on a stage felt very comfortable due to being the authority, which can misguide students if the information provided is incorrect. A more interactive process allows both to grow and learn
Truthfully, I am old and don't still trust the "new way". The sage on the stage has worked for centuries, and yet now it is ineffective. I am open to new ideas, and I want to make it better for students. Waiting for that part of the content.
Having spent years in formal education as a learner, it is easy to just copy what has been done to me to do to others. I believe that to be an even more effective instructor that the "sage on the stage" concept is self-sabotaging by taking away the ability for learners to actively learn or participate in their learning.
