Get Your Students Hired
I just finished ED 101. It was a great refresher course from what I learned in my teaching courses while getting my BS. I already have some new ideas to incorporate in my classes. Thank you!
I just completed ED101. This course had good content to help with class room management.
I really enjoyed ED101. It was great. It is very important to focus on each student and his/her learning styles. I will definitely continue to look back on this course during my teaching career.
@hkaiser : I just finished that as well. Always a great idea to refresh yourself and your ways of doing things.
@hkaiser : I just finished it as well and yews there were many great ideas that I will implement in my class such as doing the room walk through to see things from the students perspective. Great Class!!
I enjoyed the discussion on learning styles.
It is important to offer a variety of instructional
delivery methods in classes because each student learns
differently. Learning styles (written word, auditory,
visualization, and tactile) and ways (trial and error,
observation, and doing) vary with each student. The
instructor and students can have more fruitful
discussions and engagement by varying instructional
methods.
This course should be visited often by all educators. The fundamental building blocks for a successful learning environment are always helpful regardless of the amount of time you have been in the classroom.
@hkaiser :This should be a mandatory course! I am teaching my 2nd quarter and was basically thrown into it. (I am an adjunct instructor and was hired based on experience) Did a lot of learning by trial and error - not always the best thing to do when you ae the instructor!
I thought it was a great refresher course as well and my doctorate is in adult education. Great module!
@hkaiser : I enjoyed the concept of a syllabus as a CONTRACT between the teacher and his/her students.
I thought the lesson was a very good explanation on how to hold the class interest in the course.
@JasonBrinlee : I thought the information on how to conduct a lecture and make sure that you keep the students interest was very good information.
@hkaiser : I am also a seasoned instructor and wondered if I was stuck in my ways. I did make mistakes early on and have had alot of trial and error learning. I am pleased that I hit the marks on almost everything. That is not to say I am complacement, I change the material around every term. I am professional, care about all of the students ( I don't want to hear any history that a student may have). My methods of teaching are varied and have gotten alot of positive feedback. My ice breaker to my OB/Peds students, is what is your "fear factor". Many students going into OB are scared to death and I never knew how scared they were until I asked them that question. I can reassure, and appear to have credibility drom the very first day.
@hkaiser : Modeling is a great way to teach and encourage your students. When they see how you positively handle stress, they will hopefully emulate the positive behaviors.
I just completed ED110 and it was the best class ever. It helps me understand what is causing stress in me and my students and techniques we can all use to reduce stress in our lives. I'm going to try increasing my exercise to help reduce stress. I started with taking the stairs at work instead of the elevator.
