I agree. That is why I promote internships in our business programs. I have seen so much personal and professional growth in our students when in the "real world' functioning. I also believe that letting students invest themselves in project management projects is a motivator and yet another opportunity for growth.

The Amazing Race to Motivation

Sometimes we just have to try something new. Yesterday I spent 3 hours in the dentist chair for a root canal redo. Today my face, jaw, neck and shoulder were in pain. How could I teach my managment class without lecturing today? The solution was to create a scavenger hunt to seeking answers through looking up, finding, acting out, analyzing and applying. The subject was motivation--it was perfect. The students had fun, learned a lot and I even heard during break them using the terminology in conversation!

First Day Checklist

Yes, and much of that can be put in a course addendum. I also create rubrics of my expectations for each assignment. This usually eliminates questions students will have up front and when they get into completing the assignment.

ED101 was a Great booster shot!

Greetings!

Just finished with ED101 and found it to be a great review of what I learned in my masters in teaching and learning. We can always get a refresher from Max Knowledge!
