I found the entire day uplifting. The enthusiasm among the faculty was contagious and renewed my interest in being the best teacher possible.
Sessions raised my awareness of gender issues and micro aggressions and it made me more conscious of the need to create an inclusive learning environment.
I appreciate the opportunity to discuss what I鈥檝e learned with enthusiastic, motivated, intellectually curious, and caring colleagues.
I learned more ways to engage students, have them 鈥渄o more of the work,鈥� and what it means to be a teacher at 无码专区. I feel very motivated and encouraged in my role as a teacher.
The keynote introduced some interesting perspectives about what motivates students to do the work of learning. I plan to communicate more clearly to my students the importance of the material in my classes.
Different approaches to building community in class as well as mechanisms for online sharing of course material.
I will try to use Kahoot as a classroom polling technology. I got a lot of good ideas regarding active learning strategies for helping students to feel more comfortable and engaged.
I learned some more details about flipped classes pertaining to technical content with details on getting students to watch the videos ahead of class, grading, and best enhancing the video without repeating it.
A colleague gave me an idea for a midterm survey related to participation that I plan to use - have the students evaluate their participation, and explain reasons for their level of participation.
