Any method of having the students teach one another is a great opportunity for learning.  When they record themselves, they want to make sure they have the correct facts.

Provide thinking, talking and sharing opportunities for the students. Using SWOT gives the teacher a method/system which is effectivee when combined with think, pair share.

Interactions between the studets and teacher is vital to the positive environment of the classroom.  As the teacher you also need to be aware of the dynamic between the students.  You need to make sure that the interactions are positive.

I found the idea of a curriculum map extremely helpful when trying to get an overview of all the content I would like to cover for a semester. Another advantage is that if it is well done, it can be translated into a Syllabus very easily, thereby commuicating the course's content and expectations clearly to the the students. 

After reading about the importance of industry certifications in CTE programs, I will look into be able to offer these opportunities to my students in the coming years. 

Student engagement starts with being able to answer the following questions for the student:

Am I interested?, Can I do this?, Does it matter?
