@muffin :Agree with you. Just completed ED 101. It is very helpfull and valuable. I would recommend this course for a new teachers and even as a refsher course for everyone.@muffin :
I'm in my second year of teaching and all the online courses that I've taken have been very helpful in my approach toward my students, the classroom, and my teaching style. I just completed ED101. I found this course to be very valuable to me. It was like a refresher course, but you never can get enough when it comes to imporving your classroom and teaching style. I would truly recommend this course to all class room instructors.
I found this course to be of great value as I continue my teaching career. Not only did it serve as a refresher course but I learned new concepts. Very good course!!
I found this a very interesting course. I enjoyed learning about adult students versus younger students. It was also fascinating to analyze the different ways students learn -- auditory, visual, reading, tactile, etc... I think the most important thing we as teachers need to do is always continue to try to find ways to motivate our students.
I just finished ED101. The one area that I need to focus on is building rapport with the students. I greet them by name as they enter the class each day, but I still have students who are hostile. I will continue to focus on providing them with encouragement, support and fairness.
I too appreciated taking this course. I took notes and I will review them from time to time when I feel I am getting in a rut in the classroom.
I learned as a new instructor the terms and planning strategies that I'll use to prepare for classes. I especially enjoyed the videos from Harvard. Each had great insight into this profession.
This was a great course for me. I am a new instructor and not originally from the education field. IT served as a great introduction to the world of teaching adult learners. I was pleased to see that I already was doing many of the things listed and picked up quite a few new tips and tricks to help keep my students interested and focused.
I think all knew instructors should take this course during their probation period.
I just finished ED101. This was a great course to take especially since I am fairly new to teaching. It gave me some ideas for organization and evaluation of the students during the lecture to determine how well they are retaining the information.
I was very appreciative to have had access to this very well organized course. Although interesting, at times the course seemed to make a lot out of the obvious. I enjoyed the addition of the short classroom videos.
I am happy to have taken this class as I am new to teaching as well and I have been questioning my teaching skils. In taking this course I now know that I am definitely on the right track and have gotten some new ideas as well!
ED101 was a great course and I truly enjoyed it. It was very informative and gave me several ideas to use in the future.
I felt real value in taking ED101. Being a first time instructor I found some sound advice to help me at my task!
