What support do you need? Identify any support or additional information that you may need to apply what you’ve learned.
Recently completed ED311 and I found some activities useful but others very childish and immature for adult learners. I will use the ones I liked but some were over the top stupid; like the CPR activitiy.
@teacherofrt :
As a retired military, I have experience as Drill Instructor, Leadership Academy Instructor, and Retention NCO. I am presently an instructor at a tech school. I just completed the ED104 it was informative, reflective, surprisingly close to our military principle.
I just completed ED 311 and am excited to incorporate some of these learning/teaching ideas into my classroom. I feel that interactive learning will help me to keep my students engaged and enthusiastic about learning.
@srmeers1 :I just completed ED104 and feel it was helpful. While a lot of it was information that I have picked up from experience, I did learn a couple new strategies that I plan to incorporate into my classroom. I noticed that almost every issue I've had with students was covered, which would be very helpful for new instructors. I like the ideas presented for getting more student involvement and interaction as well as suggestions for handling difficult students, e.g. the use of cards for students to use to speak in class.
@srmeers1 : I learned several ways I can effectively teach angry students and students who complain. I have had to deal more frequently with these issues and this has helped me so much. I intend to try several suggestions out on my groups of students.
I have recently completed ED104. It has helped me undertstand the importance of detailing expectations for students to ensure an organized, well managed, classroom. It has also made me recognize what I have already been doing to better manage my classrooms. Professional interaction with students was also a key point for this unit. I am a stickler for professionalism but am able to show the students that I am fun and love what I do.
@srmeers1 : I have been working through max-knowledge for a few years. The course information is very helpful, however for on line courses it has a tendency to be an enormous amount of information. That could be broken down into more managable bites.
@srmeers1 : I just finished ED110 Stress and Time Management. This was an excellent course because it confirmed what I have always known to be true - if you don't balance your work and home life and find coping mechanisms for your stress - it will effect your health. I plan on using my lunch hour from now on to take a 30 minute walk. This will help me cope with my morning class and prepare me for my afternoon class.
@srmeers1 : I have also just finished course 117 and I learned alot about myself and why I teach in the manner that I do. I am at the end of the baby boomer and at the begining of the GenX. So my exspectations from my sudents are driven by my Baby boomer side and my need to be innovated is the GenX side of me. In all I need to blend more into the thread of teaching these new generations while at the same time not losing what works from a foundational system.
This is the first time that I have had any training as such with the MaxKnowledge. I think the ability to see the different types of learning and how best to use them has helped me the most. I have only just started teaching and these courses are quite helpful.
@srmeers1 : I have learned alot from the ED117 course. I am currently instructing a class of dental hygiene students that are mostly Gen. Y and this course really has given insight on how to help the students understand the material. I can also introduce different teaching methods. I have the resources and support to implement all the teaching methods I would like to or need to.
I just completed EL102 and quite enjoyed it.

Hi all,
I am a new instructor in my first term of teaching. I just finished ED101.
I learned in this class that I need to approach my students with different perspectives. Lecture is not the only way to teach someone something - there are multiple options available to the instructor, as well as the students, such as hands-on and problem-based.
I plan on implementing more mini-lectures, in order to not bored my students. I have noticed that they tend to stare off into the sunset after about 20 minutes of lecture; so I have begun breaking up the lectures and adding activities into my class time. I just tried this last week, and their focus shot up.
I will continue to rely on my more experienced fellow instructors to give me some pointers, and make sure I continue to ask lots of questions!
I have found this class to be helpfel. I am going to make some changes to my lectures
This course has helped me the privilege of further understanding of how students learn from all perspectives and I intend to apply these concepts in my classroom
Hello to everyone I just finished the course and it provided me with a more incentives to get more engaged within the classroom. Allowing my students the opportunity to share frustrations about the course and allowing them to give me feedback provides a platform for learning and sharing within the classroom. I have been teaching for the past 3 years and the rewards are when they go to extern and deomstrate the skills we teach them here at our campus. This course allows me to view the strenghts and weaknesses within the presentation of the information I present to my students on a daily basis. This allows the forum to open with the intentions of learning from one another I always share with my students I learn just as much from you as you learn from me. Have a wonderful and peaceful afternoon.
Sincerely,
Ms. Ginell Agnew
