Introductions
Introductions are a great way to break the ice. Students and instructors share interesting facts about themselves; sometimes with “bragging rightsâ€. Being able to engage in communicating similarities, and differences helps to put ones ideologies into perspective. Introductions are a great tool for expression, listening and the beginning of understanding individuality, as it assists in appreciating what everyone has to offer concerning learning.
Are introductions beneficial to learning?

Tracy,
So true. Introductions help the students to get settled into the course and learning how the instructor is going to operate the class. This is very important because it helps the students to see that they can be successful in the course if they follow the requirements outlined in the syllabus and discussed in class.

Hello:
Introductions also establish a foundational element to learning. Student's become familiar with their instructor's professional, and personal background. The instructor's learn about each student's reason for choosing higher learning.

i feel that intoductions are beneficial because you want the students and instructor to feel relax and that will have them get more of an understanding of what will be expecteded
