I have also completed ED105 and found this to be very encouraging to the way I teach my classes. Students need to be engaged thoughout the class. Recently I did a make up class for Accounting and did the class right after the first one. In order to keep them moving and motivated I brough sugar to keep them alert. THe remarkable part to this class is that each student was focused and willing to answer questions.
Great class keep them coming!
This class gave me more insight into how me as a person directley relates to how I teach and how my students react to me .Ican feel more positive about my presentations in clinicals then before the class
ED 105 had great information that I feel I can really apply to the classroom setting. I also liked that it always said to review the policies of your campus to see what the policy says. I know that often times something that might seem like a good idea can't always be done because the policy says no. I thought that all of the information that was provided was great.
ED105 has help me to recognize my weaknesses and strengths as an instructor. This information will be a useful guide used to improve on my leadership skills, class management, and different methods to use in teaching the assigned material.
I find that periodically testing the students as given as a pop quiz, keeps the student alerted for the unexpected material. thus the student must retain the information rather than just temporarily using the information with the simple goal of passing an examination and moving on to the next concept.
This helped me test and hone my skills a little better. Learning is an ongoing process!!
I liked ED105 as it helped me to understand better what type/types of an instructor I am.
I am still new to the world of teaching/instruction, 7 months into it now. Loving it, but really appreciating these online courses. I am very knowledgeable in the subject material but getting it across to a room full of students is another matter. Having to step back to where they are now in the learning process an not getting too far ahead of their skill level was hard at first but every course I take gives me more perspective into the teaching of it.
I think both Ed 104 and 015 are very good and helpful courses. specially with the classroom management, handling difficulty students, group activities...I learnt alot!!
I am truly greatful for the in depth instruction in the section regarding how to comprise an evaluation/grading system. I just started my own grading system and it's great to know that the base 10 system was discussed as the most effective.
I agree Ed 105 is great. I havent had the time to go back and re-evaluate myself but hopefully I will have time this week, to see how I have improved. Thanks
I have also just finished 105 and I am glad to see that pre assessment is the way to go. This was my first quarter in awhile that I went back to the quarters before the students stepped up to my classes. I know from the results of certification where the weaknesses are and so this quarter I decided to go all the way back and it did help me to see what I need to do in the upper classes to reinforce the older lessons.
I completed ED 105 a while ago. I really enjoyed taking that cours. I also no longer give extra credit or bonus points. I am doing better at giving them an outline of the course and the course assignments and due dates. Overall I feel my classes are running better.
I just completed ED105 and the information will defintely help me out. Although I am no longer in the classroom, I do supervise instructors and I will be able to pass on to the instructors what I learned in this course to hopefully help them as they become better instructors.
I just finished ED105 and it helped put a lot of my unknowns into context. Like giving extra credit work and make up exams
I also just completed ED105, and will now insist all my colleagues also enroll. Great overview of things all teachers need to know!

ED105 has allowed me to change my grading system. I would let students hand assignments in up until the last day of class, which only caused more stress for me and didn't teach them anything. They would only leave my classroom and think this was accepted behavior. I now give them one week then the grade becomes a zero. On the first day of class, I give them a list of all their assignments, so if they miss class they know the assignmnet they missed.
Getting to know one's strength's and weaknesses as a teacher is an ongoing process. ED105 brings so many classroom situations into focus for me and suggests ways to create "change" in my approach. Learning is about change, for students and for teachers.
I think the information is salient in our daily instructional lives. I need to do a better job of learning more about the students and what drives them to either do well or otherwise. Of course, there is nothing wrong with trying new approaches and learning new skills!! I strive to do a better job each class and I believe my students are getting a better education and more information by doing so.
