I found this course very interesting.  It confirmed for me many of the techniques I have already been using in the classroom, which was nice.  I would recommend this class to anyone who feels their students are just not getting it!  It will hopefully open your eyes to new techniques in teaching, such as hands on projects.

I just finished the class.  It was very interesting, but I would have liked it to have been broken up into more than one class.  There was a lot of information thrown at you throughout the course.  Overall, it was a good class and I did learn a few new techniques for the classroom.

I really enjoyed the class.  It helped reinforce what I was already doing in the classroom, but also gave me a few other ideas.  Thanks.

I really enjoyed this class.  I did learn a few new ideas to help in class to motivate my students.  One thing I just did was for my students learning the heart.  I brought in different color clay and let them work alone or in groups (it was their choice) and create the heart.  I told them I was only grading on effort, not artistic ability.  Once students really started playing with the clay (even students who were very timid about it), they all really enjoyed the experience and want to do more.
