Hi T. Tanner, I have faced the same challenge; here might be a suggestion: At the beginning of the quarter I have given students a scenario of obtaining a new piece of information about a topic, then given them a choice as to how they would like to see the information presented - for example, PowerPoint, lecture with examples, a hands-on activity, etc. Of course, most students will say a balance of all three, and, of course, we should incorporate as much flexibility in our instructional delivery as possible. However, for purposes of the question, I ask them to choose one method. This has helped me in choosing the best instructional techniques for the dynamics of a particular learning group. Thanks again for your comments, Jay Hollowell ED106 Facilitator
