Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Class Distractions

Using all these practices are wonderful suggestions of how things should be done in theory in a perfect world of student who want to learn. How do you direct your presentation when you have a classroom full of immature students who feel their disruptive behavior is acceptable. Is there an exercise available to make them understand the importance of qaining a quality education other than telling them that this behavior would not be acceptable in the working world.

Creative effective assessment

In the creative phase of assessment the principal areas are demonstrations of acquired skills and verbalization on the related topic. Primarily in my estimation is to make the student feel comfortablle at the beginning of their course; students are sometimes unsure of their capabilities and potential thus in order for them to enjoy their course and learn the material it is imparativethat they feel comfortable with their learning experience. With this been said it makes for a creative assessment on my part.

Student learning assessment

In the daily routine of observation of student progress it becomes evident in student the knowledge that has been received by mere demonstration and outcome at the end of the day. Not difficult when each student is assessed without interruption in their course of study.

Teaching to learning styles

Addendum to forum 2; and vice eras, in the subject of questions in the subject matter, this form of rising to the occasion brings to memory any subject covered and thus displays acquired knowledge.

Learning style

In this particular phase of ED 103 it brings to mind the various learning styles of our student population. It enlighten one as a reminder that diversity plays a major role in the learning capabilities of the human organism.

Smaller Classes

It states 8-10 in a group but with smaller class sizes that is not possible. I for one like smaller groups 3-4. It creates more imput from all students.

Active Learning

As a teacher I feel like active learning is key in seeing students progress. It involves the students individually and allows room for the students to interact with fellow classmates as well as their instructor.

Active Learning in the Sciences

I TA an online physics course. The ideas presented in this course seem quite useful in a classroom setting, but for a course already geared towards problem solving, it is difficult to implement group discussions or presentations, especially in the online setting. It would be interesting to hear anyone else's experience with a similar situation.

interactive learning

I find using the interactive learning strategies gets them thinking on their own and they get downright excited about what they are learning. But be careful, you must be engaged with them, if they start to get frustrated and you donâ€™t help guide them to the correct solution they may be lost for the rest of the day. Stay involved with them, donâ€™t give them the answers just guide them; they feel more satisfaction when they discover it themselves

control and active Learning in an online environment

One of the things I found interesting in this module was the discussion of how active learning can allow adult students to feel a sense of control over their learning. I teach an online course, and I have noticed that each semester a small subset of my students struggle with their lack of control over the course content. This seems to be amplified by the less-personal nature of online courses. I'd love to try implementing some active learning activities in my Skype-style help sessions with the students. Any suggestions?
