Hi Arthur,
I do not feel as though there can be too many examples. Some students may need more examples than others. You can decide on how many examples to share, and if more are needed, deal with this on a case-by-case basis.

It is helpful to show examples but I think the assessment question was written to show the correct answer as "giving them as many examples as possible." If I remember this correctly, wouldn't there be such a thing as too many examples?
Hi Michael,
Yes! When students see a visual as to what is expected of them their fears are eased. Visual adds better clarity.

It alleviates any nervousness felt by the student and I think it gives them a goal to meet for the course and shows that they are capable of completing the course.
Hi Stephen,
No, great practice to have in place. Definitely a confidence booster, and peers learn from each other.

Hi Roberto,
Yes, when they get a thorough understanding as to what is expected of them, they are ready to begin.

Hi Gina,
You are on point! Visual takes the guess work out of what is required/expected.
Patricia Scales
Hi Joanne,
Yes, students get excited when they are able to see what is expected of them. Visual produces clarity.

Hi Anthony,
Seeing helps students to get a clearer picture. With a better understanding, students are more eager to begin.

Hi Brenda,
Students get it when they can see it! Visual generates great excitement!
Patricia Scales
this is great because students should always read directions, but sometimes they need to see an example as well.
I think showing examples, lets the students know what to expect. It can also give them ideas of what they can do to complete the assignments, especially projects.
It tells the student what is expected out of them, and what they should be striving for through out the class.
Showing examples of what the students will be learning and what is expected of them. I feel that it will encourage them to be engaged in the class and be excited about what they will be learning about the career they have chosen. Letting the students know that it will be a rewarding and respected field.
that is truth i always show them how is done before i make them do it and i splaint how is done and the easy way to do it and they like that and they feel more comfortable to do it .
I also coach ice hockey and one of the tools I use is when a player does a maneuver or play particularly well, I have them repeat it for the rest of the team. I find this a great way to help draw out player (students) that don't normally speak up. It generally works very well and also instills some confidence in the individual. Do you see that there are any pitfalls to using this in the classroom?
Hi Reinaldo,
That's right! Visual brings about great understanding.
Patricia Scales
Students tend to understand better when they can see an example.
Hi Stacy,
Examples surely give students a better understanding of the requirements. Grades are better when examples are shared.
Patricia Scales
Hi Stephanie,
You are on point! Most students are visual learners, and naturally they have a better understanding when they can see exactly what is required of them. Students are more confident/motivated when they can see an example as to what is required of them.
