Get Your Students Hired
To be effective, your teaching must incorporate as many of the senses as possible. At a minimum, this means both sight and hearing to reach 60% efficacy. Mediums and materials should be selected for their ability to engage students and its appropriateness to both the subject and the format of the course. For instance, online teaching may require more use of PowerPoints, web research of examples and models, and social media, while in-person classrooms allow more use of flipcharting and actual models or samples. Presentations should be formatted with consistent fonts, styles, and colors, with 3-5 points per slide, as changing the slide resets attention spans. All mediums must be clear, neat, and easy to read or view.
Delivery is important to teach. Allowing the students to understand what I want them to know should be considered through presenting. Allowing time for models, and being prepared is key to both my and my students' success.

Effective presentations are reflective in the instructor's use of varied mediums. Learning is transferable! |
I have never really used flip charts but I understand why they could be helpful in the learning environment.
You can use media in differnt ways to help your students learn more. Using powerpoint can be a great tool to catch students attention and help them stay more focused.
The 10-20-30 rule stood out to me. I also enjoyed the hands on learning which I think is critical for and trade program to integrate to assure students success.
my atention goes to practice more e rule 10/20/30, make more efective way of teaching
Do not be afraid to use multi sources to get your students to understand the information being taught.
I have never been super comfortable with power points.
This gave me some great suggestions that will help me feel more confident about using Power Points in the class room
ways to effectively use teaching aids such as blackboards, powerpoint or other visual media as well as soft skills dcevelopment.
VARY YOUR MEDIUMS. Combining sensory inputs will increase the students ability to retain information.
I need to adjuct my powerpoint lectures to better accomodate student learning. I do have a lot of print on these slides and I need to reduce the amount. I like the idea of using flip charts in the classroom as well for student brainstorming. We could use these during our nursing simulations.
The methods to use in instruction vary. I leared that not jut one method should be used - but, several to get your point across to the students. One method is not the best choice for all of the students.
So true! We really need to do a better job when crafting lessons. Sequence is important, and so is quantity. A then B, then C, but be careful about introducing D and E until another lesson. We run the risk of getting to point D,E and unwittingly erasing A, B, and C from the frontal cortex. This is especially true for new learners.
If you overload them in a crowed powerpoint you stand the chance of losing or overlooking what you want them to grasp be careful what you use and how you do it
I learned in this section to use a variety of teaching methods. Don't just get stuck in one method and stay there. Effective teaching uses uses variety and even embelish on these methods while using them.
