I have enjoyed the ED104 Class Management Strategies. These strategies bring to light many methods that I have either used or will incorporate in my daily teaching. Human nature touches all of us as to how we react to certain situations we happened to be in. It is true, one size does not fit all and I have to be aware of the different ways to present my material in order to make the students successful and provide a better quality of life for them and their family.

Teacher Student Relationship

Every person wants to be included/accepted and part of the group. There appears to be a fine line relative to a students expectations of a teacher and teachers expectations of the student. In a learning environment, the task at hand of educating is first and foremost. Kindness and respect is very important, however; trying to be one's friend towards a student does not work. Objectivity is key.

Visual Method

I agree with a number of my fellow instructors that the visual method has worked out well for my students. Incorporating power point slides keeps the student glued to the topic given illustrations in addition to the text. One observation is that the attention of the male student appears to be more noticeable vs. the ladies in the classroom using the visual technique.

Jeopardy Game

I agree with a number of my fellow participants that the jeopardy game is one of many games/learning activities that can be incorporated into the classroom. I would also add that you can use this technique on an as needed basis because at times it gets old and new learning activities must be used to keep the students attention. When I first started teaching, I was told that I would need to entertain the students to keep them actively involved. I found that stand up comedy in front of many people provided entertainment as well and utilizes a number of… >>>
