I find my students learn most successfully through a combination of all learning styles.  Especially in the science field, tangibility is most practical.

I found this assignment very helpful and I plan on implementing more active learning strategies in my classroom. Already, before I do a lecture I do various brain teasers or games to stimulate the students to remember concepts that they have read and determine based on the course objectives which concepts from the readings are most important for their knowledge. I enjoyed this activity and will use the helpful items that it included to assist my classroom activities. I am developing an action plan right now. 

Good course and I learned more than I thought.

One of the main strategies that I learned when I was in college the "first" time around. I found that I could keep the audience excited by giving "real-life" examples. I also found that when I moved this helped to keep the audience's attention.

I will not take what I learned from this course and augment what I already do in the classroom. I didn't know about the low and high risk activities. Now that I can identify those, I will be more effective.

Active learning can be really effective, however it should be tailored to fit the students' style. It demands experience, patience, willingness to discover and invent and it demands to love people. 

Great concept in theory. 

I really liked the notion of active learning. Best of all, in the 5 hour classes of my school, it helps the teacher save and spend energy effectively, and more important than that does not overburn the students in 5 hours of the class. It lets them enjoy learning, actively. I will use this methos for sure.

Occassionally we have challenges to the classes here. When running two classes on the same session one class is forced into the classroom while the other is in the lab and that can be challenging for when students are using a hands on type of environment are then restricted to discussions this allows the student to become disconnected and left with a lack of motivation to work on their labs when they're finally allowed into the lab environment.  Allowing students another outlet as in going outside to perform a task weather permitting.

Good review on what can and should be done

Flipping is a very interesting concept, however the students do expect everything to be addressed in the classroom. The students do complain that teachers do not teach when they are required to do any extra reading/work. in other words they expect "spoon feeding:

I teach mental healthnursing and often I have my students act out different scenes to help develop plans of care. The students love during this and they can become creative with ides to help come up with solutions

I was able to learn from this course. How to increase student motivation. I am looking forward to implementing this practices into my class room.

Lots of good info in this module. I've tried to effectively use questioning, but this will help a lot. I plan to write down in advance both closed/open questions to use and where in the lesson to use them. One thing I need to work on is redirecting, especially for answers that are off the mark.

now I know to wait before moving on to the next student

overcomming my fear of teaching, and i was very successful

One thing about higher education is that we the instructors have academic freedom. However, most of the instructors are not aware of how their role within the classroom aids to the complete growth and development of the adult learner. The students who sit in our classrooms are most often not the traditional age student. Therefore, we have students that are a little more mature and assured as to what it is that they want to do with their degree once they receive it. The instructor must know that dealing with students is much in itself like customer service. When the… >>>

I do presently facilitate more than actually instruct.  As a technology teacher I am accustomed to students using technology more. However, students are not in a strong practice to review preexisting videos prior to class. And this does show in the classroom.

This is a very helpful tool that I will try to implement in the future. Great course

To improve on my listening skills espically in the area of what is not being said.
