I find video's really spark the class because it captures their interest and is generally unexpected. What are some of the things you find spark learning in your class?

To be a successful educator, is it a good idea to be a life coach in addition to instructing the curriculum?

Often times in my teaching experience I find that rewording a question and also stating the questions in various ways has assisted me with making a question more clear.

After reading through this module I gained some insight on how to teach Coding with teams of students and create a visual atmosphere. In my next lecture, I will incorporate this by placing students into small groups and have them to code different parts of the assignment and rotate them so that each student has an understanding of when to use each coding rule.

I think using all types learning activitie are impotant to use since ina group of students, everyone learns different.

It will help your student in the long run to understand the expectations for the course in such a way that facilitates a positive learing environment.

students with this learning disabilities are needing more support by allowing and giving them more time in reading,allowing them to figure out the grapics and wording with the lecture. perhaps allowing them to tape your lecture like hand held tapes.etc

in the past i have used over and over again illustrations with the words and pictures and trying to connect the words info with the sample pictures with the lectures and i felt that help my students learning.

i have used in the past during my lecture by using multiple style of technique like lecture, videos, discussion and quiz and still stay in focus with the Topic ... really works and it really kept students focus more.

This is an interesting topic because in my own personal experience, just on the first day after the introduction of each one ,asking some witty questions about their lives, asking about their job, family and favorites, I can really tell which one can do it with ease and confidence in my classes and the ones with probable difficulty. I'll experience more on this type of effect.

I absolutely agree that 80% of the time,the learners should be "doing" and only 20% of the time, the instructor will be "telling". And all activities the learners are doing should be aligned to the learning objectives.

when talking to student tell him he the good and the bad of what he is doing

i seem to be doing a decent job but i really want to gain the confidence of students that present more challenges.

The use of peripherals really can make the students feel at home in a learning environment. They will have more concentration and are more inspired to learn.. I will try to add music this time,the 60 BPM. I'm excited to experience the outcome.

I really like the quote that says “Just because they're active doesn't mean they are learning.” At the same time, another important key point is “ It’s not because you are active that you are productive”.

I love to play music in my classroom, Though my area of expertise is cosmetology. I feel that music helps their creativity. It has to be clean and a majority vote from the class has to take place before the music is accepted. This helps the student be in control of their atomsphere and also helps with teaching them the importance of not offending your co-worker or clients.

With one of the posts, I noticed that the instructor wanted to know how to fit in a memorization learning environment to a three week course with alot of memorization. One of the tricks that I like to do to ensure a fun,learning environment (especially for my anatomy class)is to have mannequins from the esthetics department and have them to draw and write the muscles that control the facial, mouth, neck and shoulders. And then they would have to come up with a crazy acronym for each muscle and then recite it out to the class. Its very important for students to have fun with subjects that require alot of definitions and memorizations. I feel that it works best whenn you allow them to take control of their pace and it helps eliminate the negative words that we unconsciously do, because now we are controlling how they are thinking.

I think better to combine different test questions like multiple-choice, true/false ,matching, and completion type in the singe test .

Formative Assessment is more important as it helps both teacher and student: it helps the teacher about student's understanding of the content and helps to evaluate conituously.For the student: it helps for identifying in which area ,the student is getting low score and how to improve the soore.

It is always better to involve all students in questioning. Because by questioning, students are stimulated by recollecting the teaching material and it is more beneficial for long term rememberance.
