Goals are very important for a business and individuals. This allows managers and individuals to keep track of their progress. The information discussed was very helpful because it explained the different kind of goals. This was very helpful because some people think goals are general and don't understand the full purpose of them. Describing the different type of goals will help people create better goals.

I believe the most important thing an instructor must be mindful about is the way they response to students answers. Students will not answer all questions correctly, but instructors must be able to see that as an area of opportunity to help the student find the correct answer. By listening to the student, an instructor is able to find out what the student understands. Maybe the student only got part of the question wrong. Knowing this will allow an instructor to create an unquie way in responding to answers that are incorrect.

Learning styles are very helpful for instructors in so many ways. The overall goal of an instructor is to ensure their students understand the subject matter. This can only be done if students are able to following the delivery of the instructor. Knowing how students learn will help the instructor create lesson plans that will benefit all students. In addition, create an environment where students will engage in different classroom discussions.

Student Retention is very important for the student and instructor. It's important for the student because they will be able to obtain the information needed to develop the skills that are required to progress in their program. It is very important for the instructor because it allows them to receive the necessary feedback to ensure they are creating a fun and useful learning environment. Overall, Student Retention is very important for the school as well.

It is very important to understand the students in the classroom. This will allow instructors to adjust their teaching style while ensuring students fully understand the class concept. In addition, identify the way their students learn. This will allow the instructor to address any concerns that students may have about the course.

Teaching style is very important in controlling the environment in the classroom. This can be difficult if the classroom is in a computer lab. Due to social media, students may update their status or comment on a friend picture. It's important to show that the information is not only important, but useful. When students understand the material and can relate to it, they find it useful. This is when they give 100% in the classroom.

I believe the more technology that is used in the classroom, shows student how they can successful find information. A lot of students see the internet as a way to stay updated but not a useful tool to search interesting practices and tools to help understand a topic. Facebook and Twitter is used by many students to update each other. However, showing them how these social media sites can help with assignments and fully understand the background is shocking to most.
