Sometimes my teaching job requires a 14hr day in front of a class. One class in the morning and one in the evening. We work in 3 week phases so by the 3rd week I'm exhausted. What are some good tips at combatting the stress you get from fatigue?

I teach a course where I have to give web based training as part of the curriculum. Sometimes it is very lengthy and my students get bored but because of my curriculum it has to get done in class. What can I do to help them feel more interested in what is going on?

How long should you spend on your introduction of yourself and what is too much information?

I believe that engaging Gen Y learners in something that intrest them is paramount in getting them to learn subject material otherwise they will not give their best.

By using social networking does that open the door to be disconnected from civilization? Will we be so used to sending an email to get something done that we forget how to talk to people?

If your a teacher from the Gen Y era and have older students in your class. How do you get them to take you seriously?

I teach at a technical school so when I'm going threw my lectures I like to show my students real life examples with my lab task to relate back to my lectures. My question is I still get students that don't seem interested and stay disconnected to the rest of the class. How do I egage those students better so they participate in my class?

When you have holidays or long weekends and say you normally have 5 days to cover a subject now you have 4. What's the best way to get that information into you class without boring your students?

I am starting as a new instructor at a trade school. I just finished the ED 101 course and found a lot of the material very helpful and will put it to use. I am a younger teacher and may have students in my class that are much older than me. I'm worried that they won't take me seriously even though I know the subject matter very well and my knowledge in the industry will help them succeed. Any thoughts would be helpful!
