Richard, Depending on the subject matter the projector is still reliable and a helpful teaching method. Many of us no longer use the chalkboard as the projector has more versatility. Antoine Lewis

Barbara, Adding drawings to the whiteboard is a nice touch, because of the different learning styles our students have incorporating video, lecture and textbook helps them stay in engaged and learn indeed. It is also our responsibility as faculty in my opinion to have at least 2-3 delivery methods allowing us to adapt to the classroom we have. Antoine Lewis

We Must Listen To Our Students

I agree- I have posted in my office the following regardless of the situation:

•Be “relational” not just “transactional”

•Listen, listen, listen

•Express empathy

You want to address the affect (It’s not “just the facts”)

STEVE, This is a good concept as students today have various learning styles and attention spans. Depending on how often you meet and hrs. Together one can mix up the delivery methods to keep the class engaged as needed: case studies, video, PowerPoint, presentations, lecture, class discussion, etc. Antoine Lewis

Brandon, The internet being a distraction is a drawback for us as faculty because technology allows us to deliver education in many ways but what I have found is some student will check facebook when they planned to complet thier coursework. Antoine Lewis

Stacey, That was a good recommendation as it relates to shadowing and if they are serious and have time to do so they will make an effort to shadow and/or seek reputable outside sources. Antoine Lewis
