Updates

First, no. I have not corrected the exams yet. I will put the grades on the NCTI platform when I get them.

I would also like to remind you that I will need the following before you do your 10-minute presentation:

A lesson plan (complete with objectives)
5 multiple choice questions

You will be required to complete your presentation within +/- 20% of the time (8 - 12 minutes). You will be given a P/F grade for this presentation.

Some of the best advice I have ever received about making presentations is:

1. Choose something you are passionate about.
2. Know your topic cold.
3. Be yourself. Find your strengths whether they be humor, sincerity or knowledge and use them to your benefit.

Good luck. Let me know if you have questions.

In the news...

Students will ask you about items they see in the news. How would you respond to these?

We'll talk about this in class.

Test good news/bad news

I decided to hold off on the first exam. That is the good news. The bad news is that this was done because the quizzes were pretty bad. I want to go over them Tuesday night so we can discuss them before the exam.

We will have the exam on 10/12. Here is the list of potential topics:

Methods of determining training needs
Bloom’s taxonomy including choosing a verb related to cognitive levels and labeling the pyramid
The four components of an objective
The difference between terminal and enabling objectives
Matching presentation methods to different lessons or topics
Components of a lesson plan

Also expect a repeat of anything from the quiz last week.

Keep studying!
