  16. How to Tweak Your Approach "Involving students in discussion fosters retention of information, application of knowledge to new situations, and development of higher-order thinking skills” -Higher Education Journal

  17. Yet 70 to 90 percent of professors use the traditional lecture as their primary instructional strategy!!!

  18. Auditory Learners • Prefer to pay attention instead of taking copious notes • Encourage tape recording • Use AV equipment in rooms to self record and create a podcast • Appreciate being able to hear lecture clearly • Mic yourself if in a large lecture hall • Enjoy audience polling • Ask the audience questions at end of class out loud with students responding • Post questions so they can listen and not write!

  19. Visual Learners • The visual learners like to have a general idea about what they want to learn before they get the details • Write a lecture outline on the board so they can organize their thoughts • Tend to underline using different colors • On your board work/ power point use different colors to emphasize key things • Prefer to recall the pictures that they studied when preparing for the exam • DRAW! And use figures and videos

  20. Kinesthetic Learners • Like to touch what they want to learn • Bring props whenever possible! • Technology that can help the kinesthetic students in learning is technology that allows them to manipulate tools in the classroom • Interactive websites • Enjoy teacher interaction • Step our from behind the podium and join your audience! • Ask for students to come to board and solve problems

  21. iPod/iPad Style • The iPod/iPad style can support the three learning styles. • Allows the kinesthetic learners to touch the screen • Allows the auditory students to listen to audio files • Allows visual students to see and download pictures

  22. YouTube Style • Can help auditory students by allowing them to hear other voices during the class • Allows kinesthetic students to manipulate tools in the class(watch video on their PC or handheld device) • Can help visual students by allowing for pictures and other visual aides to be used on the screen *Create YouTube video watching mini assignments

  23. Facebook Style • Create a Facebook fan page for your class • Post practice questions before a test there • Allows for discussion to occur underneath a post • Allows you to send notifications to students • They will check this more often!

  24. Discussion

  26. What could you try to incorporate/change into your teaching strategy?

  27. Do all students learn the same way? • Yes, all learn the same way • Mostlearn in a similar manner • Mostlearn in a different manner • Unsure/I do not know

  28. Take Away • Tweeking your approach is a consequence of teaching new generations of students • Use Bill Vilberg to help you come up with creative ways to update your teaching style or lesson plan • Poll your students, they give they best feedback for you to use in your classes

  29. Don’t be afraid to try something new!
