I spent a lot of time in the Core elements unit, focusing on the active learning strategies.  Very helpful! 

I learned the importance of incorporating the 4 Rs.  I'm very focused moving forward on "dialogue learning" 

I enjoyed the discussion about the holistic approach for skilled trades workers.

I learned that integrative instruction is about designing and mediating instruction that promotes and supports a full process of analysis, reflection, understanding, and application. 

While I have only minimally used these, I am excited to implement more contextual learning in my classroom, such as problem-based learning.

I learned about the importance of modeling what you want students to learn. kb

I am looking forward to applyin gthe Four O's of Course Design when modifying course content.  

I am most excited to apply the skills of being the "social director" of the course!

The unit on "establishing a pattern of teaching" will be invaluable in enhancing student learning. (This was an entirely new piece of information for me -- I had only been familiar with this in how I prepared my syllabus.)

I really appreciated the list of general questions to use to assess the technology form for effectiveness.
