Introductions

What are some fun and interesting ways to have the students introduce themselves in class? Although the module gives an example of taking a picture of each student, this seems a bit time-consuming and awkward.

Hi Jason,
Good memory strategy. Thanks for sharing it with us. I know it will be of help to other instructors as they work to remember names.

I like to use the city they are from and attach a sport team to the name of the student.

Hi Ronilyn,
The picture taking is suggested if an instructor has not developed a quicker way to remember names or if the class is very large. There are many different ways that you can have students introduce themselves. One way is for them to list three things about themselves, two of which are true and one not. The class then lists the one they think is not true. This is a great way to get discussion going and students interacting with each other. Another is for each student to share their career goal and how they plan to achieve the goal.
