Wow!  I was very impressed with the learning modules in ED104; I have learned so many valuable and interested techniques in how to keep different type of learners engaged in the classroom.  ED104 teaches different methods on how to diffuse different type of personalities from dealing with angry students, center-stage students, and how to motivate students in preparation in succeeding their future career goals.   

 

I would like to share in the discussion one of a common mistake that I experienced with one my instructors while being a student.

In an online classroom it is very hard which type of learner that is in your course. The main objective is to be able to deliver your lectures in different facets for the learners.
