EDUC 300

This sounds really interesting for a face to face class.

I wonder how to do this activity in an online class.

Participation is the key to the online learning community to be sustainable.

During my favorite teacher's lectures he would always tell funny stories that related to the topic he was teaching which kept the class engaged. Which is discussed under lecture practices in the Best Practice Article 

This addresses multiple learning styles, and how the teacher made materials accessible to all students. 

Best Practices summarized several techniques I recognized as those applied by my favorite teacher. Mr. Chislom used group triggers particularly first person experience to interest the class by relating to as many as possible. He also used active learning techniques such as construction spiral and concept models providing a hands on atmosphere.

What practices would work best for you?

-Drawing upon knowledge learned in class not through multiple choice but through essay. (using visual with the writings to edit our thoughts on what was learned -#1 and #9 from Best Practice reading) -Using discussion to vividly express what was going on in history (communication and interaction) (#7 of Best Practice reading)
