I like to engage the students as much as possible for memorable learning. Just sitting and soaking is not always memorable. Doing something with the information heard is. My first hour tends to be more group work & hands on. The second half ends up being more lecture. Although I usually receive good reviews by students & coordinators, they always want to hear more of my own experience. I've found that challenging to put within the history lessons that I normally teach, but I'm still learning!KatHathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302753117382847899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36770289.post-91090693506223594582010-12-15T19:19:56.722-07:002010-12-15T19:19:56.722-07:00As a former student, particularly of Perspectives ...As a former student, particularly of Perspectives classes, the lessons I remember the best are the ones that had challenging content. The ones that challenged my assumptions, no matter what category, were the ones that held my attention best and were most formative. The means of delivery wasn't as important as the actual content. Some good speakers told stories in conjunction with a clear outline and objectives. It didn't matter all that much, as long as they tied it back into the primary lesson/objective at some point. Students will engage only as much as they want to, whether auditing or taking it for credit.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589040362643829954noreply@blogger.com
