The Teaching in Career Education Group is for instructors teaching in career education institutions to discuss topics related to instruction and student learning.
First time participating in Max Knowledge. However, I did enjoy the material and informtion presented. Sometimes you get so caught up going through the motions, it is a great way to make you think about the specifics.
I agree it is a great way to have all the specifics lined up to really help you get back to what you knew or needed to know to help fine tune your next classroom experience. Managing the difficult students is a challenge for the new teacher but equally needs reinforcing for the seasoned teacher and max k, presents a full spectrum of what could be another pitfall without these poignant reminders.

I enjoyed the tutorial on technology and it's growing place in education today.
I've been teaching for a number of years, however this course really helped me to reassess what I'm doing and make improvements in how I deliver my class and how i can be more of a mentor to my students.
Some of the questioning seemed challenging! I am up for a challenge.
I agree with getting caught up with the motions of teaching class. Sometimes I get so caught up with prepping for a class in order to give a good presentation that will benefit my students that nothing and no one else exist but the students I am educating at that time. Therefore, maxknowledge got kicked to the side until I absolutely had to complete it. But, I am so glad I did because I learned new ways of deal with angry students as well as the talkative student.
