Delivering new course material
I like to keep things interesting , so i try different thing when i teach a new objective. I do feel nervous about it but i have to try new things in order to improve my ways of teaching. After all , if i dont make mistakes i will never learn from them . Some of the ideas that are mentioned in this course are some that i allready implement in my lesson plans and they trully work . For example:start with a quote or start by reading something factual relevante to the objective. This help me start and engage the students attention and hook them to the lecture.
Israel,
I like your instructional style. I like to introduce a new activity each time I teach a course. By doing so I keep my interest in the course high because I am not sure how the new activity will be received by students and if it will have the educational impact I want. This keeps me a bit on edge and makes me work even harder in my planning. The result is more engagement by the students and involvement by me.
