Get Your Students Hired
I have just finished two of the ED courses and felt like they were a great reinforcer to a webinar we did as a school. The two courses went furthur indepth about practical examples of applying the theories and thoughts mentioned in the webinar.
I have learned some practical educational techniques in this course such as peripheral learning and the order of how students learn. I will employ these techniques in the classroom. The theory of Pygmalion reinforced my philosophy that I have used in most of my life; if you have positive expections about people ( students, your children, colleagues), they will usually rise to the occasion and do well.
I completed Medical Terminology Made Fun. It was very helpful, and I regret I am half way into teaching introduction to medical terminology already.
I will start applying it today.
I have learned that learning medical terminology does not have to be primarily rote memorization.
I can apply many of the active learning suggestions.
I would like to continue to receive new suggestions and creative versions of the old.

yes, i enjoyed this course. I learned some of the techniques which helps us to improve class teaching as well as will make more interesting for students too.
What have you learned? - I learned the importance of lesson plan, check list and other activities for the class room teaching. Specially importance and how effective should be the first day of class. What kind of information should be provided and what kind of information should be get from the students on very first day of class.
How can you apply it? - i am going to make some changes in my syllabus. I always include try to include all required information about course, but i didn't include dress code policy and certain school policies. Also i will try to bring at least one speaker from community to share their experience for successful career with students.
What support do you need? - My college and organization is very cooperative. Whenever i need any help or guidance, they are always ready and happy to help. This is one of the reason that i am able to teach very effectively and students are also getting good grades, not only that but at the end of the day they are leaving school and waiting for next day to come back.
This was my first course through MaxKnowledge. I have 14 years teaching experience, but through this course, i got additional information . Also i had opportunity to see other instructors idea and different methods.
In ED102, I learned how to apply retention methods so the students so they could retain what they learned. If we show values and respect the students and manage them individually then the retention can be successful. More than a syllabus or course content it is necessary to know that why are they here and what they want. I can apply this experience to my current online courses that I am teaching and I am sure that can work more towards the retention methods in the students.
Hi Sarah! I appreciated your inquiry about having a senior teacher as a mentor. The Lounge itself, through the many groups, blogs and discusison comments, is privy to best practices and lessons learned from faculty at all levels. I wanted to say additionally that the online course you completed is part of the Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) Faculty Development Program of which many institutions are subscribed. The program encourages the opportunity for faculty to apply concepts and applications from the courses to the classroom or lab. You might wish to consult with your campus's Dean or Director of Education who, familiar with the program, might suggest the opportunity for an on-campus mentor. Also, you can continue to access the online course you completed and interact with the facilitator and other participants in a post-course environment through the Performance Forums. Best wishes for your continued and successful teaching journey!
I think that the course had some valuable information and I look forward to trying to implement many of the strategies for classroom management and additional courses I have yet to take. My biggest concern right now is devoting the time needed to do so. I believe that a more senior teacher could help this process, but I'm not sure that I have access to one. Is that something offered through this site?
Just completed ED 105: I enjoyed this program because it gave insight to the grading/assessment part of instructing. I was reminded of how to be fair. It had good points about using other ways to assess a student, provide opportunity to obtain extra credit and encourage their participation. I like the presentation from the speakers as well. I really liked the way this program was presented.
This program has got to be one of the better online programs, I've seen. I've implemented some of the techniques. I really enjoy it.
EL102 had very good topics and points of discussion. I liked the presentation of material and felt there were many great take-aways to incorporate into my online instruction. It gives a full picture view of online education and the online student perspective. At the present time, I feel good about the material and do not feel the need for further support. Thank you for the great learning opportunity.
I have completed ED106 and found it very helpful when dealing with Learning challenged students, It has given a different approach to the issue --I partially liked the idea to put students in groups and to use the 'Floating" technique to monitor the whole room. I now use the body language and eye contact to help me read the students understanding of the topic and/or task assigned to them. I also learned to use the "PAUSE” in a Positive way instead of just using it to get troublesome students attention. I found these courses 101-106 VERY helpful to my everyday teaching! Looking forward to learning more of these type of techniques so that I may become a better and more attentive instructor
I have just completed course 103 and have learned more skills in creating written exams. Such as matching are more simple questions and should have more answers than needed. True False questions should have more false than true about 15% more. Watch my grammer and make sure negative answers are kept to a minimum and underline NOT or WRONG or have them in capitol letters. These courses are good refreshers as we sometimes need to be reminded to keep our skills strong.
I've just completed ed101. I leaned that keeping my student attention help them learn better with different teaching style. Not all my student learn the same way.
ED311 was very beneficial to me. I will be able to apply a number of activities in the courses I teach in the future.
I just completed the ED104 modules and it was a very organized and interactive review for me. I already hold a M.Ed. in Instructional Design and it brought me back to the basics which sometimes you forget as you forge ahead into other areas of curriculum development. I will apply the information into the training that I provide to develop my faculty further. Thank you to the developers of the courses that aid in the pursuit of teaching the teachers!
What you have learned?
I completed ED104 and learned many teaching techniques. I learned from this course how to encourage and motivate the students. I hope to bring the new tools in my classroom and apply to my teaching.
How can you apply?
First, I plan to get to know my students and then go to their level. Next, I will pull them back to my level. As an instructor, I will find out what are the needs and wants of the students and then adjust my teaching techniques.
What support do you need?
I need 100% support from my college and colleagues and compare my teaching techniques with other and apply the best one in the class room.

I've been taking courses here for about a year now and find some as a refresher course and others very helpful to enhancing my teaching abilities.
