the course had several great strategies for collabortive learning
I routinely discuss metacognition with my students, a wholly new concept to all, so I appreciate the technique of the metacognitive prompts and will be implementing them immediately. I also liked his discussion of the learning logs, another tool I intend to incorparate right away.
There are a variety of strategies I will seriously consider adopting into my teaching practice. Specifically, I look to implement case studies, journal assignments, and activities that will help the student visualize themselves in their future professional role.
I enjoyed David Grimes teaching methods from the videos. I am im plementing the journal in my classroom this next week.Indirect instruction will keep students motivated and focused on tasks at hand. Doing more visualization senses such as sight, sound, and feel helps students learn better. I am very excited and have even thought about the role play in an interview setting before students go to externship.
I use a variety of methods that were discussed. One that I have not used is the metacognitve prompts, so that will be my next one to try. I love having the variety of tools available to match the needs of the class.
I really have appreciated all the great ideas for various types of instruction. I especially got some good ideas for interactive and independent instruction techniques. I'm excited to implement them.
This course has shown me ways to add to my course or supplement what I'm already doing in my classroom. I particularly enjoyed the examples given of each method.
Understanding that there are many different personalities that require teaching options that work best for each person and to provide that instruction with additional options to create that open communication among both the students and instructor.
I learned various ways of teaching strategies which can help me with teaching my students in clincial areas. I think it all applies direct, indirect, collaborative group effort and independent learning all applies to clinical setting.
I appreciated the clear definitions and examples of the various types of learning strategies, including direct, indirect, interactive, and independent. It provided me with a lot of great new options to incorporate into the classroom for more effective teaching and learning.
We utilize all of the types of learning, however I could focus less time on direct during lecture hours and add in more indirect learning strategies.
I learnes the use of different teaching strategies and how to implement them in the classroom setting.
Using different methods will help student comprehension, so many diverse students with different learning patterns or techniqus, we can use the different tools that we have acquired and improve them
I have tried quite a number of techniques in my classes. I think I like the learning logs. It will be very useful for classes that encourage critical thinking.
As I went through the course not one method works completely. I like the indirect vs direct very interesting points.
I have used some of these various techniques while teaching. I will try to icorporate the Catch-up and the Learning logs into my plan.
As a new instructor I like the idea where an instructor becomes more of a facilitator of learning and students take on a more active role in the Learning process. The meta cognitive prompts is an excellent tool to get students to think. Critical thinking is essential in the workplace and if we can estab a good foundation in school that should carry them into the workplace where they can continue their education.
I have learned many new methods to incorporate into my classroom. I will use visualization as a new method to guide my students along with practice to sharpen their skills.
