The course was thought provoking.  We all struggle with how to interact with and assess our students.  You have to be true to yourself, and true to the objective.  I like to use the course discussion to adjust the path of each class.  It helps me know what they are thinking, and what I need to do in the future.  The class gave me new ideas on effective evaluation, and questioning techniques, that I will use in the future to hone my instructional skills

The company I worlk for will be flipping the training and we will begin working toward and more computer based traing. I will see haw I best fit in the flip classroom.

Great course!

I will definitely use several things from this course.  1.  Arriving early!  I typically arrive 3-5 minutes before class, I am going to shoot for 10-15 minutes.

Lesson Plans - I have lesson plans that are not as well organized as they could be.  The course has provided me with great ideas about creating lesson plans and noting issues during lecture and after class on what worked and what didn't work. 

Faces with Names!  It has always been my greatest weakness!  I am trying to find ways to learn faces with names!

I believe that training and updating your knowledge to how things are currently is important, but if you're not interested in the subject material or "have to do trainings" because it's part of a requirement, then that knowledge is gone as soon as the test is passed.  The main point about the discussions so far are about keeping students accountable, flipping the classroom and holding them accountable for knowledge they retain, and this has its benefits.  The hardest thing for anyone to do is make someone have an interest in something that does not interest them.  I've learned through experiences… >>>

Will provide learning activities w/ each Unit

Will make a checklist to be used before presentation and one to be used during to make sure I have covered all my points

Encouage students to complete reading assignments before class because they will create more "AHAHS" in class.

Will utilize a combination of lecture and learning styles.

I feel what the course preented to me was that learning needs to be more active for our students and I need to implement more into my courses that I am responsible to pass on to my students in the best way.  Active learning is something I intend to do more of and less lecture.  Many of my courses involve not just passing on facts and information but getting them into the practice of thinking outside the box and thinking things through.

I have already applied some of what I learned in this course to one class that I teach, to mixed results/success. I have learned a few more things in this course that should help me improve on what I have already implemented and broaden the concepts of flipped classroom to more of the classes I teach.

I have found that the students with depression or a learning disability or even not very good with the language to be the most rewarding. Seems they value to be a part of society that is productive. They typically do show the signs of frustration without any type of outburst from them. It becomes very recognizable early in every course if you have that type of student. I can proudly say at this time I have never given up on any student in my class, but unfortunately the maturity is not there for them or they do not follow with… >>>

ED 107 was an interesting course.  I am trying to introduce more learning activities into my classes and this course had some great suggestions. So many things to consider when designing course content in relationship to learning styles! Change definitely requires careful planning. Baby steps!

This was an exceptionally well paced course. I felt it was mostly review for myself, but overall very helpful.

This was very helpful, I started using music during my classes and rearranging the sits.  It seems to motivate or at least get their attention.

From this course, I was able to see how asking certain types of questions can hinder or enhance the class room.  I am going to put into practice asking more of the types of questions that would allow the students to expand what they know .

Understanding that every student learns in a diferent way, will make me a bettr instructor

In order to become a better L.P.N. instructor  I have the following goals for my preformance plan for the 2015 MCI school year. I will make it a habbit to show up to class 15 minutes early. I will make it my practive to introduce my self each mod as I have been doing and I will have my students introduce themselves to me. I will research M.S.N programs and will start on my M.S.N before October.

As a former middle school teacher, I have used active learning strategies extensively in the past and have modified many of them for use in my current position teaching adult learners.  I have sometimes wondered if some of the activities and strantegies might be too juvenile for the adults I teach, but in genreal I have discovered that my students enjoy, appreciate, and learn from an active learning format.  Thank you for the many suggestions!

Active learning has been an interest since I began teaching.  I am considering using the methods in my class by having the patients take a "patient" and describe the methods by which they would ventilate and mangae their care.  By doing this they would need to use the covered material and also the practical skill they have learned

We have a new term starting next week.  I am already an early arriver, seating chart creator, and Syllabus explainer, but I am looking forward to implementing the following checklists and methods to my next classes:

• First Day Checklist
• Icebreaker
• Personalized Introductions
• Mini Lectures
• More Integrated lessons using more Problem-solving and Case Study type interaction
• Being more timely in managing troubled students
• Being more timely in giving student feedback on assignments
• Pre execute more lab assignments to find the pitfalls in advance

There is a lot taken from this training, I will definitely applly this in my classroom, the way to prepare for my class, and how to deal with my students in a more professional way, and this training opened my eyes to a lot of small details I wasn't paying attention to, I blieve conducting this training will add a lot to my expertise.

This module has really made sense of how I tend to explain things and how I can ascertain the comprehension level of each student. It's like a road map of how to properly lay out a lesson plan.

Writing proper questions and assessing knowledge learned as opposed to what hasnt been learned
