In the Brakes course I have them research information on thair own vehicle pertaining to specific chapters or certian concerns. After teaching them the material or subject matter we go to lab and apply the learned skills. Then we referance the researched data and diognisis the problems from what we have learned. This helps them releate to the feild experiances and recorces they will need in the future.It also makes it more interesting when they can use their own vehicle to learn with.

I teach computers and from the beginning I want to know what kind they have and in what condition. I actually have students bring in machines and fix them with a little help. Fixing a relative or friends machine really goes a long way to feeling confident about your abilities.

Hi Camilla,
This is such a great motivator for students. They get to see both application and relevancy in what they are learning not mention how it helps out their family and friends.
