ED101 - Instruction Skills

As a new instructor I feel alot more confident now in my instrucioal strategies after taking this course. 

Things I learned and things that I am doing ;-)

It is an interesting course, the ED 104, as it highlighted practices that I knew little of; that I already utilize; and gave renewal to some previously learned techiques.

Classroom management strategies

This course motivated me to think outside the box.  I am trying new things and allowing myself to test new theories, sometime we need to look at ourselves from a different prospective.

This course helped to improve and redefine my instructional expertise.

Very interesting and creative.

ED101: Effective Teaching Strategies

The most that I got out of this course is that it refreshed my memory on general policies when starting to teach a new class.  Other than that, I honestly did not get that much out of it.  As an instructor, we all need to understand the importance of setting an example and proper preparation.  I would have benefitted more if this course had introduced newer techniques on classroom management and preparation that I had never heard of before.  I already know how to develop a lesson plan, course syllabus, etc.  Like any other student, I needed something new and… >>>

ED 310 Teaching Medical Terminology in Fun and Exciting Ways

This Module was very interesting and creative.  I did not realize how many creative games, ideas, and interactive things one can do with their class to engage learning in a fun and positive way.  I really appreciated all the examples that this mod provided with brief descriptions of how to apply them as well.  I would recommend this mod to instructors that are looking for new and exciting ideas to bring into their classes.

ED 101

Class was very informative I will be using it in the classroom

Very Helpful!

A very helpful course for a new instructor. I wish that I had this training prior to teaching and it reaffirmed many of the things I have learned in the classroom.

ED104

Interesting information. This course was an affirmation of why we choose to be instructors.

 

Great course!

This course included excellent content to help remind me of the essentials of managing a classroom.  Reviewing information like this, such as dealing with problem students or recognizing instructor mistakes, is a good thing for even seasoned instructors! I'm impressed with this course!

Great Training Information

I am a novist instructor and this training course was awesome. I feel alot more confident now in my instructional strategies after taking the course and have gained valuable insight.

Very interesting course. It has reminded me of things I forgot, such as changing up the lectures and try to make them more interesting and fun if possible.

Wow!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading through and taking this course.  I have learned some valuable tips and tricks to keep me and my students on track

Important information

I found this course to have very important information for anyone in education.

Valued and Needed

I thoroughly enjoyed this training exercise and look forward to particpating in the remaining sessions my co-workers and I are required to complete. I am currently undertaking a Master's in Education and found the material appropriate and reflective of the instructional challenges faced by teachers in their classrooms.  I particularly enjoyed the segments from the Harvard Business School.  Thank you for a wonderful educational program!

good stuff

usable information

ED 104-finished

After finishing this course, I realized some valuable tools to incorporate in my classroom. I loved how to get all students involved from the quiet student being in groups to the outspoken student to being an observer. These classroom strategies are excellence, especially for newer instructors with less than 3 or 4 years experience. Job Well Done!

Finished

I just finished reading class management and thought it was outstanding. I am going to try and bring some of the suggestions into my classroom. i loved the ones about bringing in the quiet students into the groups and trying to involve them in the discussions.
