About me

I am a retired Army (SF) Spanish Colonel who is working as a civil contractor in support of JSOU MET since February 2019.

I am happily learning in my new job as a JSOU Instructor on the ocassion of every MET I have participated during these 2 years ( 2019 and 2020). These have been a total of 12 MET. And what is actually happening to me is that , the more I learn on how to perform more effectively my job, the more excited and interested that I am on learning more techniques and better procedures.

I have just finished the first module of this ED 114 course "Questioning in the classroom" and I have already found it as a very interesting and useful course. Definitively, I trully believe tat this will help me a lot to improve my instructor´s skills and is already providing food for thought to me on how to better prepare and deliver my lectures and instruction. As a matter of fact, I do realize that most of my questions are closed questions. Just due to one of my MET colleagues recommended me to shift to open questions I have already tried to begin this change, but I have realized that this definitively imply even a better preparation of the lectures (if you want to deliver the appropriate queries at the appropriate moment)

Therefore, I am more than interested to share teaching and instructor´s experiences with whomever might be interested to go for it.

Looking forward to hear from you

Antonio

Quite interesting module 1 ED 114. 1st Quiz very successfully completed

I was told how good and useful this ED 114 course was and I was strongly recommended to take it. He was totally right!!

I realize how useful this ED 114 course is and also several of the comments that I have already read and considered at this forum!! There are very good recommendations at module 1 which I will clearly follow during my next classes. Moreover, I opened a word document at which I have already included several notes as a kind of reminder to me on some of the most critical aspects of this module 1 (i.e. open… >>>

Types of Questions to Ask in the Classroom | Origin: ED114

Most of the MET I have participated during the last 2 years have been carried out in Eastern Europe - former USSR countries-. It is my perception that, as a kind of common pattern to the majority of the students, is that they have some reluctancy to answer open questions. To my understanding, they seem to be more comfortable to cope with the closed ones.

Have you experienced any techniques or tools which might help the students to overcome this way of approaching to the classes and to feel more comfortable when expressing their opinions and thinking process?

Delivering Course Content | Origin: ED101

I do "suffer" something similar.

What I do in order to minimise this clear trend that I have as well, is to write some bullets as note pages. During my internal rehersals, I try to control the timings. Moreover, based on the rehersals & timings, I adjust these note pages and since then, they become a kind of my "key road map" to follow during my lecture.
