Redirecting

 I found this course helpful in letting me redirect students in a more positive way.

Reinforcement of teaching experience

These training sessions have reinforced the information teaching methods and style I had collected on my own over many years. What a great feeling that I have approval of me work.

Flipped Classroom

As a student that wanted more control of my pace and considered the traditional teaching environment too reliant on the personality of the instructor (ie effective teacher vs less effective).  I consider the flipped classroom theory to be very important.  In my opinion, the best tool we can teach our students is how to manuever through the world as a life-long student and informed citizen.  Pro-Active. Interpetitive. Responsible

creating an environment

I really appreciate all the knowledge I gain through maxknowledge. I have put into practice many of the strategies I've learned like: starting the first day of class with an intro of myself and I do everything I plan to do for the entire term in the first day. I welcome feedback. I go over the syllabus and class expectations. I put them into groups and I allow them to share. I have put inspiring quotes aroun the room. I have also put terms and concepts around the room that are related to class. I have them plenty of breaks. I… >>>

Great Advice and Insight

I really learned a lot about how and why to ask better thought out questions. Some of the techniques I used instinctively, but now I now when and why to apply them best. Lots of good practical applications and examples helped me better understabd how to incorporate these types of questions into my teaching. I recommend this course to my peers.

 

Thanks!! :))

Motivating students

I've found that initiating conversation with my students individually motivates them to try harder in class.

True or False Questions

I learned that use of negative statements in a True or False questions should be avoided as it throws the students off track in understanding the statement. From now on, I will not use negative statement & will use positive statements in the test.

keeping notes

Keep careful notes in an outline form to use in the future.  very good.

teaching with technology

lots of helpful information

Best practices

I have learned that the best practice is for students to teach me. This allows me to see if they are fully aware of what they are learning and where I need to improve as an instructor

Great material

Great information. Classroom strategies was especially helpful.

making learning fun

it is important to make  students an active participate and a learder in their own learning

Flipping a Classroom

I am so excited to be someone who is completing the Max Knowledge. Teachers wish that their students read in advance, so when they are coming back" face-to-face with the students can feel confident that students actively will participate in learning. I want to say that by implementing "Flipping a classroom" teachers wishes come through what always wanted to accomplish.

I am very happy that our University has started to implement the Flipping a Classroom by training us frist.

Self realization

I learned so much from this course.  I realized some of what was covered in the course is exactly what I've been doing.  I love teaching and I'm incredibly passionate about what I do so I tend to get a long really great with my students all the time but I realized I need to remember to keep boundaries and not be their "pal" all the time. 

Very Enlightening Teaching Methodologies

This block of instruction was very informative and interesting.  I have a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the instructors.  Although I have seen all of these concepts (as a student on the receiving end) in the past, I now understand how and why some classes were structured the way they were.

I intend to utilize these concepts as I move on to more of an instructor role in my future endeavors.

Thanks for the information!

Learning

This course has open my eyes to multiple ways to introduce course objectives and goals. In some ways I have been doing this by lecturing on a topic then  lead into a physical demo and concluding with Q/A session.

Peardeck

I have recently implemented using Peardeck with my power points.  It is extreamly interactice, it takes over the students ipads and asks them questions throughout the lecture to make sure everyone is understanding the material.  I am in love with the program!!
