      NOVA scienceNOW: 1918 Flu - this activity is a variation of the HIV activity I'm doing in my envi. sci lab.  But this activity works better in a non-lab setting.  I thought it might work good in the health units for the PE courses my PLN classmates are teaching.

Five Characteristics of Learner-Centered Teaching | Faculty Focus - 2 views

  •  
    I find this article very affirming. It's hard to know when to respond to students especially when they have been taught to be teacher dependent. But I firmly believe students need more experience in collaboration and problem solving without teacher intervention. In the beginning this is very hard on both the instructor and the participants. Tell me how? Work together to figure it out? Make choices and decide which of these resources is right for you. This is NOT the way our instructors have been taught but it is time they experience it.

Instead, students participate in more active learning as they work in groups or on the computer, and complete projects and other interesting activities that will help them discover new skills. When students are encouraged to take an active interest in their education, they are more likely to retain the knowledge they’ve gained.

Employers' Challenge to Educators: Make School Relevant to Students' Lives | MindShift - 0 views

  • The survey found that student who felt supported — that their professors cared about them as individuals, that professors made them want to learn, that they had a mentor — were three times more likely to thrive as those who did not feel supported. Only 14 percent of college graduates answered that all three of those qualities were present in their college experience.
  • Even fewer college graduates found their higher education experience to be relevant to life and work after college.
  • Feeling connected and mentored makes a difference, just as understanding how learning is relevant and applicable makes students feel prepared for life after college.

    I find that I cry just about every day as I prepare to send my son to college in 8 weeks. This helped me meet my quota for today.
  •  
    I teach the same students for many years in a row and grow to know them well. I wish I had read this a few weeks ago to share with my graduating seniors.
  •  
    Why wait? I hear myself giving the advice, "pick your battles," almost everyday. I rephrase number 27 to , "how's that working for you now?" And number 21, is the advice I give myself.
  •  
    I love this.
  •  
    Great advice. And I agree with kgrill, why wait for some of it! #12. Leave things better than you found them? I hear my self saying that several times a month.

    These thirty things are inspirational. Thank you.

    I wish I had these earlier today when I had to say goodbye to a student heading back to public high school! I actually agree that we shouldn't wait - I am thinking of putting some of them up on a bulletin board for inspiration! Thanks for sharing, Carole!

      Did you know that both Canvas and Blackboard have free access to creating several online classes. I am teaching in one of those free options. I teach a different class in the free Blackboard. I like these tools better than any other I have tried but I respect that others have different ideas.
  • 2. Ensure that both students and teachers have internet access at home. If not, try to work with parents and budgets to provide special tools or dispensations for disadvantaged kids. If nothing can be done, abandon the e-learning program.

      Please also check to see which internet access comes from smart phones. You will be amazed at how many families have access to at least one smart phone that can do what a computer can do. Don't assume this is not so, ask.
