Activity

Well I work with college sstudents so some of this does not apply. From this lesson I can take the concept of video taping the class during an assignment or shared learning moment. I would like to see how student engagement changes when they realize it is being filmed.

I have always had an issue with traditional grading. It puts the full emphasis on the outcome and does not encourage students to enjoy the journey.

My mind is racing for ways to ask hard questions and or to create discussions just beyond the reach of the class. In this case, I want to call on students who think they are right. Then I need to show the class that our loudest member does not have all of the answers. Next i will engage a shy quiet student in the classroom discussion. If i can encourage the shy kid to solve the issue. 

This may invite a talk about how we all learn in different ways. 

Most of my students look interested and engaged but when I ask them a question based on what i was talking about the light in their eyes goes out.

Is it the shock of being called upon to recant? I am sure they were following.. Your experiences?

This material reminded me that listening to students talking after class or outside of class gives me a chance to hear how they received  and understood what we talked about. I compare it to them chewing on the lesson.

Remind students of any time expectations you have for your class and assignment due dates. When possible - write a quick reminder to each student

Is is important to give students the chance to test and demonstrate what they are learning. They get good feedback.

Let the class see who you are and share your background. 

It is best to post an academic and achievement-based bio online to share with the class. also ask each person to model your example. 

Do they help course delivery?
