Student Interest
As an Instructor, I like to engage the students in some of the topics that I have practiced in my career before becoming an Instructor. The students become more interactive when I have "life stories" that they will be seeing in practice, they become excited about their schooling and become more talkative and interested in what we are learning.
Hi Heidi,
Make it current, make it real. That is what relevancy is all about. You are doing a great job of this with your methods. Keep up the good work.

I bring in some article or tidbit about the topic we have just been talking about. It's usually something I have read that has to do with the current subject and something they can relate to.
Hi Michelle,
Life stories really help to make "real" the content of the course. By using these examples you are helping students to make the course part of their career future.
