This course reinterated to me the imporatnce of using instruction that will reach the different learning styles of students. As primarily a clinical instructor, the "hear it, see it, do it, teach it" technique has been the most affective technique I have found thus far in the lab and on the floors.  The students are usually nervous at first, but once they are at the last stage to "teach it" to a peer they are very confident and have built their self esteem.

 

I have been writting my own exams, rather than using textbook standard testing. I find by doing this it gives me a better understanding of how the students are using the information given during lecture.

I enjoyed reviewing this course. It refreshed the knowledge that students  need different teaching styles in order to most effectively understand the content. As an instructor, I must incorporate different styles.

this class helped a bunch as a new instructor, i now have lecture styles and knowledge of what suits me as an instructor

 

I have been using these tricks and concepts in my traditional class room   Why?  I am often confronted with students who are physically present but who are in fact somewhere else in time and space.  The concept of a dynamic syllabus has already been employed.  And I also use this material to revamp my online course.   But in our institution we are concerned about using open blogs that exposes the institution to risks. 

I found the ED103 very interesting. The part about using the appropriate testing style will help in my future class exams.
