Note Taking The Lost Art

Students could benefite greatly from a lecture on note taking. Outline skills and abbreviations are valuable. Too many students are lazy when it comes to using the pen or pencile.This is not good.

I like the marker board

I frequently outline each lecture on my marker board. This way I keep focused and the stucents know as well!!

Not being pals

I believe one area men have to be careful of is bonding about sports in the classroom. This can go over the line in student teacher relations.

Technical Teaching

I know when I have had classes that were set on this type of teaching some of my classmates did well others didn't. I was wondering how would you meet all the needs of the students instead of select students?

Determine student learning style

What is your favorite or preferred way or tool to determine a students learning style?

Learning before critical thinking

As one-way as lecture instruction is, it often is better than reading. Doesn't someone need to gain knowledge before analizing it or critically thinking about it? Lecture can streamline this process. Can't it?

Disciplinary action

An Instructior must be discipline in the action that he/she is going to proceed, in delivering the learning material to the students. Take into consideration how they are going to prepare the lesson to be thought to the students and discipline them selves by following through.

A learning environment

In a learning environment, being an instructor, it is good to take note of the body of students and their reaction/interaction in the class room environment. The instructor never knows it all, but also learn from the students as they instruct them. In this case this will help the instructor how to adapt to different learning environment as they proceed their career. There are different diversity of students to deal with. An instructor can socialized one self with the student at a distance, and at the same time being that role model that the student is looking to learn from, in order to propelled them towards their goal.

Be Prepared

Effectiveness of mixining games with lecture.

As an instructor combining games with lecture has proven to be very effective. When planing games pertaing to the lecture it brings out the social side of the student, and for that moment age or how long you have been in school does not seem like a problem any more.

Classroom Settings

The setting in the classroom i find is very effective when doing group assignments and class projects. Using different color markers to write lecture notes is also effective.

Difficult students in class

As an instructor when dealing with difficult students in my class I acknowledge them however I tend not to respond in anger. After the class is over i will take the student aside and speak to him or her.

Instructor insight

As an instructor, knowing one self and what the particular instructor stand for is plays a key role in instructing others. Getting to know the students and how the instructor deliver the lesson to them must also be taken into consideration What an instructor learn, research,prepare and plan to teach, must be done in the right and organized concept when delivering to the students, because that is the direction that they are going to take to help them to be sucessful in life, and to pass on to others as they go along life way
