Memory games are a good way to get the mind working.. flash cards are a great tool

Keeping students engaged as well as interacting with one another keeps their mind stimulated

I like the idea of music in the classroom. Especially for a writing class.. soft music can be very soothing and give a visual

allow so time for interaction and feedback, revisit and then have class dicussion to view the findings

This gives staff the opportunity to better teach students. Working together

work with staff to see what works in their class

This is a great way to see how much students know and what "level" they are on

a variety of quizzes and test to see what needs improvement, was was successful and what needs tweeking

This is awesome it allows students to get involved as well as share their own questions.Gives teachers an idea of what the students know

ask an array of questions to see what is understood and what needs more time to be understood

Sometimes I feel like my lectures all sound exactly the same just on a different chapter.

I find myself being gaurded as to how much I want my students to know about my career history. What if some feel I do not have enough experience in the field to teach?

I find it difficult to come up with new and creative ways to gauge my students understanding mid-lecture

I am struggling to incorporate more hands on learning into my lectures.

This course was very informative and helped me understand what skills will help me become a more effective instructor.

I have been teaching at a technical school now for a little over a year. So far this course has given me many new ideas of how to better instruct my class and hopefully make it a bit more interesting and let the students get more out of it.

I found some of the methods chosen for praise were a bit to overbearing. I would never tell a student how good a student he/she is. That is a real put down for the other students in the class.I just say excellent answer. I use a method where all students are engaged in the learning process. I create a real problem and asked each student to give me a solution for the circumstances and write his/her answer on the board. There will be a numer of different answers, I do not address the answers until everyone has given an answer. I then explain why they are incorrect and move along until I answer the correct solution. This allows each student to participate in the questioning process and learns at the same time with out the stigma of being wrong.

I love the standard test course, all the subject straight from the book and review.

Most of the students are shy in a large class, most common play games with common answers about the subject and reward answers.

My students usually preferred power-point, dental class show more pictures and real work.
