My goals for this course were to learn different teaching techniques from colleagues and through the course activities.\u00a0 I often use a\u00a0 tree as my symbol for teaching because it illustrates growth that is established in deep roots. This is my ultimate teaching goal; continually learning so that I can add\u00a0 to my teaching arsenal.<\/p>\n
Always looking for ways to better engage my students, I especially enjoyed the learning word activity. My short list of verbs was a bit embarrassing compared to the Bloom\u2019s list, but I was inspired by the list and numbers of ways to actively help students learn.<\/p>\n
The reading \u201cOur HyFlex Experiment: What\u2019s Worked and What Hasn\u2019t,\u201d discusses the challenges and complexity of this style of teaching for instructors, while highlighting the benefits this flexibility allows for students. I enjoyed this article and my colleagues\u2019 annotations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho\u2019s Teaching the Teachers,\u201d is a question I have often asked myself since I began my teaching career in 2003. I went from working in a design studio to teaching with no formal training on how to educate, after many years of self-teaching and learning by mistake, I strongly believe there should be a better system of preparing professors, and greatly appreciate what the CoLab has created.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":212,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"design_bite_tag":[],"design_bite_type":[],"df_module":[177],"genai_activity":[],"mini_syllabi_group":[],"portfolio_type":[47],"class_list":["post-174959","portfolio_part","type-portfolio_part","status-publish","hentry","df_module-formats","portfolio_type-written-reflection","wpbf-post"],"edit_form_id":"27","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_part\/174959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_part"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio_part"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/212"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=174959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_part\/174959\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"design_bite_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/design_bite_tag?post=174959"},{"taxonomy":"design_bite_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/design_bite_type?post=174959"},{"taxonomy":"df_module","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/df_module?post=174959"},{"taxonomy":"genai_activity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genai_activity?post=174959"},{"taxonomy":"mini_syllabi_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mini_syllabi_group?post=174959"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_type?post=174959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
