Get Your Students Hired
This document lists the different ways that you can share and learn through this group in The Lounge.
I just finished Ed 106 and it feel it was very imformative. It gave me great ideas on how to help with students that may have a disability and it made great suggestions on having a diverse classroom. I realy feel that these classes help me with my classroom rentention and improving my teaching skills.
Thanks
This course offered so many great ideas for being prepared to teach that first day. Many of the activates are a plus Since the adult learner brings so much to the table, we must capture them from the first day of the Course and keep them interested until it ends.
ED 111- I feel the training was very informative. It discusses active learning and offered various ways to increase student learning. It also factual information on appropriate teaching strategies proven to be effective.
I decided to complete ED101 to ensure that I am not missing out on any current improvements. I can say that it is very informative and well taught-out.
The course ED114 provided me with the knowledge of how to ask questions in the classroom. I used open ended questions on quizzes, but never thought to use them in a classroom setting to check on students comprehension on a subject matter.
I just finished the ED114 -Questioning in the classroom, and again I was quite excited in what I had learned from this course. There is phrase that students here everyday from me " Think outside of the box." I have obtained more ideas how to get my students engaged in this same concept by learning how to ask the questions and makng sure I can get a clearer understanding of which students are comprehending and which are not. Truly enjoyed this. For now, ths is my favorite course thus far.
Highly recommend the teachers/instructors that need to really understand the questionig process - I think they would be enlightened as well.
Thanks so much.

I just completed ED 104 and I have learnt from this course that we must energize the learning environment. I know that there are something that the learning environment must have. Learning mediums, such as those objects that set the stage, reduce barriers, act as stimulators, and assist your students to learn. Teaching tools, those physical objects that help convey your message must be well positioned or in place. I use ice breakers at the beginning of of the first class to reduce tension and anxiety, to acquent my students with each other, to immediately involve the class members. Am glad that some of my teaching techniques were described in the course and I have learnt lot from this course.
The ED 104 revealed new ways to be a better instructor in classroon environment. Academic dishonesty can be in two forms: either outright cheating or plagiarism. To minimize cheating, I have placed a significant percentage of the student evaluationin the form of active student participation. I think it is important that in the classroom environment ethical responsibilities requiring trust and honesty are emphasized. It is also a good idea to develop different multiple tests with different questions and repeat the same test test or test questions over and over again. Regardless of the amount of trust bulit in a classroom situation, all tests must kept in a safe place or in a data bank and should never leave the room. The instructor is ethically responsible for this commitment to the students who are striving honestly to achieve their goals and make their grades.
I have justed completed ED104 I've learnt that there are so many useful teaching strategies, and that can be used daily in the classroom. Claasses of today are full of students of various age group, ethnic backgrounds, cultural experiences, and educational abilities. This diversity can contribute to a more interesting classroom when interactive learning allows students to learn first about different cultures and perspectives through debate and discussion. For the instructor, however, diversity poses significant challenges and this course has revealed new ideas. I think we must be aware of our students' diverse backgrounds, and be equally cautious not to overcompensate or appear to give special attention to any group or individual.
I finished ED101 and the course was very informative and enhancing to my profession. I realy enjoyed the quizzies because they reminded me of my critical thinking skills with knowledge from the past and present. The course encouraged me and identified my strengths and weakness. It did not take long and was very useful for my teaching an online course.
This was a great course. I learned a few things that I'll definitely incorporate into my classroom.
This course really opened my eyes as the type of questions I need to use. Also, the fact that I did some of the negative ideas in questioning my students. I will now begin to implement the ideas learned in this course.
As a beginner in the field of adult learning, ED 101 was perfect for me. I now have a starting point and the basics I will need to increase learning and maintain motivation. I enjoyed the tips on different learning styles and mixing things up. I also liked the facts about attention spans and memory retention. Great class.

I just finished ED102 and learned "oodles and gobs" about issues that I hadn't known about, issues i thought about but wasn't sure of, and some things I had already known. It was also nice to see that some of my current teaching techniques were described in the course. I knew that they were good teaching strategies, and that they worked, but learned a lot about how and why. I was very impressed with the content of this course, and the way it was discussed.
The ED104 course revealed new ideas and patterns to be a better educator in an academic environment versed the clinical track I have been in scince 1981. Good direction and ideas for the future. khanson, dds

I am so glad yhat I took this course. I have been teaching for many years but it was a great refresher course for me

I just finished module 101. I have taught High School Chemistry for 25 years. I was surprised at my quiz scores. I know more that I thought I did.
I completed ED101, and I have to say it was a great overview on teaching strategies. This course assists with techniques and the reason why we are instructors. Since I am new in being an instructor at this level, the course was very useful in displaying how effective planning and preparing are. Thank you.
I just completed ED201, and enjoyed the interaction with the instructor; some of her responses made me look at some of the issues differently. It will also help me even more, interacting and accommodating our students with disabilities.
This latest course, ED114, deals with effective use of questions in class, and it really gave me a lot of new insight into how best to use questions and answering questions to help students learn more effectively.
ED 101
This course offered so many great ideas for planning and teaching. Many of the activites are a plus
since the adult learner brings so much to the table, we must capture them from the beginning of the
course and keep them until it ends.
ED 202 Teaching English Language Learners
This course is very appropriate for our present-day colleges in larger cities. Within the course, statistics substantiate the need for such a course, given the percentage of ELL students presently and the almost certain percentage of ELL students we can expect by year 2025.
