Like many have mentioned, I did not realize that there were many different ways to approch learning. The best thing about having this course is learning the many ways you can garner new techniques to address the many learning styles that are going to show up your classroom.
Direct vs. Indirect vs. Interactive instruction - advantages, disadvanatges and methods.
For this course, I've learned that there are several effective strategies that I could take to reach out to students. I also learned that not every student will learn in the same way, so I need to have a variety in my classroom to grab each student's attention. There are several methods that I was already using but did not realize it was an actual method and some that I plan on adding to my teaching toolbox to help me diversify my classroom.
I have learned over the years of teaching that no on method of teaching fits all. You have to be willing to adjust your course to the method that fits best with the present students you are instructing.
As I went through the course i realized that there is no one method that will fit but to use combinations or applying different methods to be effective in the teaching and learning process. Very interesting indeed. I just wished that the learning and journal portions would ask different questins.
