Reflections on 5141
I found the posting for 5141 from my fellow learners to be instructive and make me think more about how I approach my own face-to-face teaching. I have been lecturing more than encouraging the students to create their own experiences. I struggle with whether they can cover the information well enough to be safe with the seniors who are a vulnerable population. In seeing what others have posted and how I feel about their contributions, I think I can try to let go somewhat and let them make their own contributions to the whole picture. Be more of a ‘guide on the side’ as mentioned in the KWL task. I need to rehaul many of the activities for my actual classroom to make them more ‘user-centred’. I think that will make the classes more enjoyable for the students and make me give them more control.
