Get Your Students Hired
An important aspect of helping keep students engaged is by being engaging yourself. For example, move around, keep your energy up, gesture with your hands, smile, and make eye contact to make sure that you are the focus of the class, no that what you are talking about is important.
be careful not to over-do it though. Don't be nervous with your movements or gestures. Don't "pace" around the room, "float."
From this module I learned different ways to become a more effective teacher. Pausing for a few seconds after a student asks a question, floating around the room, and practicing my tone and delivery of lessons are things I will encorporate into my classroom.
I have learned in this module that to have students stay on track can be related to My course presentation. Walking around keeps student attention on Me and what I'm speaking about. Eye contact gives individual attention to the student.
How rto make sure that I keep my students engaged by using a variety of methods such s pausing, repeating and being aware of my non verbal cues
I learned to ensure that I need make eye contact with each studednt, and to watch my pacing and hand gestures.
I enjoyed reading about how to engage learners, with content, facial expressions and planning.
I learned a lot from this lecture epecially movement in class and also the voice recording review. I will apply that more into my lectures.
Be aware of distractions. such as fidgeting with objects while speaking, lingering eye contact. By videotaping myself I may discover some practices I need to work onl
Eye contact is an essential form of communcation not only for your students but for anyone that you encounter.
Maintaining students' attention is important. Using eye contact, projecting my voice, not fidgeting, and floating around the classroom are key points to remember.

Learned that; "Fidgeting with something while talking is a common annoying mannerism. Instructors who play with a rubber band, ballpoint pen, or some other object make the object the center of attention. Students easily lose focus on the lecture, as they wonder what the instructor will do with the object next."
A lot of useful information here on engaging students while lecturing. Using a pause to let students "reset" and be able to refocus on the subject or point you're moving on to is helpful. I'm already a pretty animated person when presenting, but I'd like to video myself sometime to see if there are annoying things that I might do while lecturing that I'm unaware of.
I've learned not to use the lecturn as a block between myself and the class. I need to "float" more.
i have learned how to keep the attenction of the classroom through jesters and eye contact.
This is eye-opening information regarding communication. I have learned that clear and precise communication with confidence and authority is very essential for students to understand the clear expectations. I do not like to video myself, however, I will need to apply this now due to the situation our nation is going through. I will have to video an online course with a demonstration for clinical within a few weeks.
I found this intersting, walking around the room "floating" helps keep students engaged. I need to be mindful not to fidgit or pace around the room, and pauses can help studdent retain informaiont better.
From this module, I have learned that certain tone and pace of voice are really important when lecturing. Moving around the room helps keep the students focused by redirecting their attention by giving their brain time to focus again. I look forward to applying what I learned from the module while speaking to my students and making sure to not fidget so much with pen clicking.
