Teaching learning tools
I too find it easy when lecturing to give examples of my life experience, and students join in the discussions and give me some feedback.
I believe there is a fine line between students relating to an instructor and complaining that all the instructor does is tell personal stories. I always tell my students what I learned from the experience to try and get them to understand the given topic.
Hi Loretta - Thanks for your post to the forum. Sharing our experiences with our students does indeed get discussions going! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
Hi Kira - Thanks for your post to the forum. Personal stories about experiences an instructor has had can really make students understand the relevance of the material that they are learning.

I work in the health field and I find that the students really appricate personal stories. It helps them relate to the instructor and the material.
