because differt people learning in different ways that will tell me how to pay attention to different types of learner
Because I am here to learn
Yes, I think that my classes are informative
Kellie, stories are powerful toolsmfor teaching andncreate memory in deep ways. Keep up your good work.
yes, because I use my experience from the field and I invite my students who are currently or have completed externships to come and share.
Most days I'd love to be a "learner" in my class because I do try like crazy to keep things interesting. Very often I attempt to relate the subject to something that most are already familiar with which in the long run helps them to remember it. A colleague of mine makes up stories about absolutely everything and the great part is that even when the student can't remember the "technical" words right away, they remember the story and eventually get there.
Because this keeps me more active in the class by also learning in the classroom. Making me more teachable.
Fun and focus are both important parts of a successful class.
Kerry, the key is assessing students continually and adapting and changing so that learning occurs, which is different than teaching.
I would like to be a learner in my class because I use worksheets, and the students all participate in the discussions. I make my class fun so they attentative.
Using role reversal, the teacher can assess exactly what course content, delivery, and learning activities (or lack of) the student is experiencing.
It is difficult to keep every student engaged, however; utilizing various teaching techniques and activities can solve a number of these issues.
Great insights.
Passion is catching, so continue to give your students that opportunity.
I would want to be a learner in my class because I am very passionate about my field and I enjoy being innovative with my delivery. I have come up with different fun activities that will reinforce the course content and facilitate learning.
Seeing the value of fun can create a motivating learning environment.
Kristen , the same is true when you are teaching content. Learner experience is a starting point for good teaching and learning.
Everytime I teach a class, I have students who have learned tricks for remembering things in other classes or along the way. I love hearing these so I can use them for future classes - but it is so great to have this from students, for students!
I feel that it is important to make the content fun. And I try very hard to do this. That is why I would enjoy being in my class.
Sabrina, I'd like to be a learner in your class, too. Your description sounds engaging and effective.
I'd like to be a learner in my class because I really engage my students. medical terminology is the first course that the students take in their program and engaging them takes away those "first-day" blues, so to speak. I also create a sense of family - we're all looking out for each other and sometimes, just this sense of belonging spells the difference!
Of course, I would like to be one of the learners in my class also because I'd like to take the pulse of the class - know if there is much more i can improve on to make the class even better.
This is an example of great teaching, which to me includes being open to learning from your students.
