     I learned from this module the importance of understanding how learners decode and recode course content. Selecting instructional supports such as scaffolding, guided notes, graphic organizers, and mnemonics enhances student learning. There are different ways to help students retain course content, but in the end, reviewing needs to be done to evaluate if the teaching methods used were effective or if any changes need to be made. As an educator, I am constantly assessing and evaluating my teaching styles and methods. By knowing what works and what does not, I can make the adjustments to achieve my goal of… >>>

Shaming students will only slow down learning and retention of information. As an educator, I intend to use what I learned from this module in gauging… >>>

By distinguishing between concrete and abstract thinking, I can determine which part of my lessons and activities can be created in certain ways for the students to gain experience from which they will remain in their memories.
