Module 7 - Activity 5

The readings, videos and activities of this section of the module have caused me to review critically how I engage students in the classroom. I already embarked on the following activities in students' engagement by:

1. winning the trust of the students.
2. engaging them in discussions and activities that build their critical thinking skills.
3. taking curriculum and convert it into meaningful learning activities and experiences for the students.
4. breaking up large projects into smaller, more manageable projects.

However, I do believe that student engagement can be improved if I

1. Empower students to ask questions as well.
2. Teach students new technical skills using content that they already understand.
3. Engage students in real-life processes.
4. Invite experts to share in the learning process.
5. Publish students' work in the community, where persons outside the immediate classroom environment can share in that culminating experience.

This is beginning to get exciting!
