One area I may be lacking in per my instruction is the utilization of groups in the classroom. Group learning, as this module has covered, is extremely important to a student's experience by actively processing the concepts applied to the lab. One such exercise that was subtly mentioned was five concerns about leaving school and entering the work force, a really great barometer not only for the students, but the teachers as well. Use of group learning experiences would significantly improve the classroom environment.
As a brief aside, the Harvard video lessons have been a huge hit for me, and this specific one drove me to think differently as my role as an instructor. As the role model of the classroom, active listening could be adopted by my students if I am in clear display of it as well. It is important to reiterate to a T, so that this is made clear, and I plan on incorporating such a lesson into all future lectures as soon as possible.
