Use it wisely cards are a great way to keep the class focused and reduce center stage students from taking up the whole class and allowing others room to participate
Engaging all students as individuals takes attention and the instructor being present in each class, not simply delivery the material. Can make or break student learning.
Learning how to deal with all the different types of students we have and learning how to deal with the different situation in a positive way.
Realizing that you have to keep control is very important. The ideas are helpful in many ways.
It's important to get to know your students and what is relevant to them in order to possibly keep them engaged.
There will be these types of students in every class.
However, there are great ways to suggest improvements for inattentive students or ready to quit students.
Make sure all students feel included!
Make it so the students have the opportunity to interact and feel apart of the discussion.
Really enjoyed this lesson, I have a fresh outlook on how to teach my students and not get upset over this issues I can overcome now.
I love when students get calls in class. The first time I hear a ringtone or vibration, I sprint to the student and insist to talk to whoever is calling. This is all presented playfully, as a gag. "I wanna talk! I wanna talk!" They're usually so surprized that they'll either mute the phone or actually let me answer. When I do get to answer, I usually answer with "Atlanta Police Dept. Zone 6, this is Sarg. Whatever." Always gets a laugh and the phones are silent for the remainder of the term.
Good insights into how totame theshow-off, involve the shy types.
I learned from this module how to deal with different distracting students and how to overcome their actions in class.
I have learned about the role of instructor to provide encouragement and give instructional support for students who are falling behind. Also, the course explains well how to incorporate all the students to participate in the class and avoid distractors.
As the instructure, you need to be in controll of the class by being engaging. As a new clincal intrutrue thisis sometimes difficult when teaching a course. For example teaching nursing student, in the clas oyu have lpn, and cna. LPN and CNA's as basic knowlege and someytimes they try to take over.
it is important to have an understanding of the age group you are dealing with and make sure to hold the engagement as some students can sometimes be overshadowed by front and center students who often speak up.
As an all-online course, it would be easy to skim this section. However, this information is help in dealing with types of students one on one as well.
I have learned how to better control my classroom through effective techniques that can be applied to each individual learner. This will help to keep my studentss better engaged in the learning process.
I have 2 really chatty students in the same class. For the most part, I pair them up on assignments so they can tire each other out. I think I like the observer method because it requires them to stay focused while giving their input.
I loved the idea of seating chart, as it's fair to everyone to rotate using the different raws of the classroom, it also provides a little fresh atmosphere every session, so they don't get "too comfortable" in one area.
Reply to Shelley Freshman's post:I totally agree with your comment, Shelley. Every word.
These days it's hard to keep one's attention when they are connected to their watch, iPhone, iPad, iEVERYHITNG! I feel like these devices should all be turned off during class time.
