ED111
I didn't see a group for ED111 (Active Learning). I just completed this course and thought it was very interesting how many teachers must be on auto pilot because most successful teachers probably automatically incorporate most of these activities anyway...but that's good to know!
I agree. Too many teachers forget what it's like to be a student, and lose touch with how there information is delivered. I would like to see more of this kind of training.
I think that sometimes , especially when a teacher has taught a course for a long time, they glide through it. It no longer feels fresh to them and they translate that to their students. This class offered great strategies to help to avoid this problem.
Very interesting course. I enjoyed the information and have been learning to utilize active learing strategies in the last year. I have noticed how the students definitely gravitate to the style and seem to have more comfort and interest in class activities. Active learning also gives plenty of opportunity for immediate feedback and for the student continual self assesments, especially with respect to other students. Good class, worth the time.
