This area of the course taught me how to best present lectures and demonstrations to the students, as well as common styles of lectures and demonstrations. Use "mini-lectures" of 10-15 minutes, cover a single point with examples and end with a short summary. Make notes about how your lectures went, and review what worked and what didn't. During demonstrations try to keep it to 5 to 7 steps, make it so everyone can see, and have a fallback plan if the demonstration doesn't go well.
Try to use as many methods of teaching as possible to reach students who learn in a variety of ways.
Developing course content is paramount on utilizing the learning styles and Lecture formats. Allow tour student to utilize reading listening, hands on and seeing videos to help with learning the content
When ending a class review the class content that was done for the day and any concerns you may have. Reflect back on how the class went and any improvements that can be made to be sure youre utilizing the class time wisely and correct something that didnt work for you or your students.
Make sure to design lessonplans that speak to each learning style, keep lectures brief, allow time for questions. I really like the notecard technique
Vary your teaching style, as to reach each student so every student can learn.
In order to successfully deliver content, it is important to incorporate all of the various learning styles for student engagement.

Put deliberate thought into the design of each course element and the delivery process.
Sticking to 10-15 minute size increments
Develop a lesson plan that is dynamic, has personal strories that feed into the lesson, and to prepare the lesson with using different methods to reach different learning styles.
The message of changing delivery stlye hit home as instructors can develope fall back positions and lean on one style tooo much to be truely effective in the classroom. I like the idea of video taping the lesson and having an opportunity to review it later. However painful it may be at the time it will certainly benefit long term.
I learned that we must vary our instructional style to meet the various learning styles of our students. We must also use a catchy introduction at the beginning of our lecture to spark curiously of the learner. I will also be adding the idea of handing out notecards at the start of class and have students write their questions down. This will be a great way to clarify muddy points, especially in those students who are more timid.
Variety is the key and remember your students only have a 15-18 minute attention span. Keep the class flowing while using diffrent strategies.
CHnage your lecturing styles, not every student picks up or learns on the materials the same, maintiain 10 to 15 min lecture blocks
The biggest take away from this module is the attention span of the average human is 10-15 minutes. Breaking apart the lecture to reflect this point and incorporating some technical applications and/ or review of points made will contribute positively to student success. Additionally, familiarizing oneself with the tools to incorporate all learning styles will ensure the entire groups' success.
Utilizing a lesson plan keeps you focused on how to prepare for each class section, including the content and materials needed for the students.
This module has taught me different ways of delivering my class content so the students will find interesting . I have also learned to not over due the lecture part of class and just keep them in 10-15 minutes blocks.
It is important to vary your teaching style as each student learns differently. it is also important to remember not to lexcture longer than 1 minutes.
Prepare lesson plan that includes different learning styles. Practice demonstrations prior to class.
