classroom management

class room managing is an ongoing evaluation of you as an instructor. i believe that some classes need different managing styles in order to maintain a good productivity. People respond to different styles for better or for worse. i sometimes see myself as a little bit of the three styles. i feel that apathetic is not a style but a poor excuse for being lazy.

non verbal cues

The issue with non verbal is we don't see ourselves through their eyes, so we don't understand their point of view. I think sometimes we can gain valuable information from students as to what our body language says about our teaching style. A student is very sensitive to your non verbal traits much like a pause with a "daddy" eye stare. I think that as an instructor you must be able to balance your verbal and non verbal skills.

Effective Teaching

Not only does one need knowledge and experience in the field, it is essential to manage the classroom well at all times.

Excellent course to review

This class is good to evaluate your own performance as instructor. It allowes me to reflect and correct my actions and attitudes toward the students.

stay exited

Keeping the student exited will let the student want to learn

Classroom Management

This course really helped me to understand some of my students. I teach at a career college where students have to often save up for months/years to attend. There are no scholarships or financial aid federally so you would think that would be motivation enough to perform well. I see these quiet students, cheating students, uninvolved students daily and I think to myself, "Why are they not involved after paying all that money?"  After this course I realize I need to provide more engaging curriculum that will involve more.

ED 113

I found this course challenging! Though I found that some of the things being taught here I am already implementing, there are still many interesting matters that I find very useful. I certainly am already contemplating how I can utilize these in my simulation classes for the benefit of the students and their maximal learning.

Class Management

Go into class with the mind set of helping students learn and not becoming their best friend.

grouping the student

I am going to apply a lot of the things that I have learned in this course, there is one in mind, thatI have some students that are really very quite and don't het invlove in the class room, I will start to make small projects and make small groups of discussion and try to make every one give his take, and by doing that i am interested to see how it works

Enhancing Student Retention

This learning module was helpful with student retention. As educators we need to have a better understanding of the students. We also need to be able to keep the focus of the students.

ED 110

I absolutely like this course. I learned so much from it and I will implement right away things that I can do to manage stress in my professional and personal life. Thank you for for this wonderful course.

ED 109

This is an invaluable course for me! I learned so many things here which I intend to use at the early possible time in my simulation classes.

grouping students to minimize interruptions and maximize sharing

I like to put at least one "center stage" student in each group and also have an "inattentive" student in each group.

Sharing my experience, reflection and action plan

     In my 20 plus years of computing, networking and infomation security I have learned that this the field of study I wanted to embrace.  During my span of conducting training to either students, subordinates, peers and superiors I have come to learn that in order for the learner to embrace what I am teaching I have to accomplish three things.

1.  Build their interest in the topic I am trying to instruct

2.  Make it enjoyable and personnal to them.  They have to see the return on investment to absorb the knowledge completely

3.  Recognize that not every type… >>>

Class

What great information, enjoyed the course

Really a good course

The nonverbal Communication is a big thing in my instruction classes.  This course points out some very valuable information that will be extremely important to impliment in my class room. 

Challenges

Any suggestions for those Generation Y Students that continue to challenge you as an instructor by questioning you constantly?

To Do Lists

I use To Do lists regularly.  I used to keep a pad of paper specifically for it, but have since moved to my Samsung tablet.  It really helps me to focus my time more effectively, especially when my attentions are often being drawn in several different directions.

My experience

My real world knowledge in my career field has definitley helped me translate my knowledge to my students as it relates to my curriculum and courses of study
