I've always said the same thing - if I can make you mad (indignant), sad, glad, or scared, you will learn the material better! Even better if I can combine several of those emotions.
thank you so much for this! I’m an illustrator with a little dream to become a teacher in honor of beautiful teachers like you who have managed to instill in my student self a continuing lifelong love of learning as well as to challenge rather unfortunate moments I had in school with teachers that didn’t know how to guide students properly. I hope to keep your tips in mind when I find opportunities to teach people down the line!
Excellent video thank you!! I'm just finishing my 5th year as a 2nd Career Science teacher and I am always seeking improvement as a teacher and I found your channel and I'm fairly sure you can help me improve as a Science teacher!! I try to stimulate WOW into my high school students by blowing things up and demonstrating colorful ionic metal cation light emissions using bunsen burner flames ! I'm intrigued by your lecturing suggestions and how to translate that into Science lectures
This is great, thanks. Can you do a video on how to structure and plan a lecture, for beginners? With a bit more detail on how you figure out where to plan it before hand, how to start and end, and stick to time…
Something that helps me is to start with the end goal in mind. Then, I fill in the blanks with talking points, anecdotes, videos, discussions, and activities. Hope this helps!
Great video. There is a lot of pressure to use slides but its just so passive. I am much more natural at writing my notes. But I struggle with how to smoothly incorporate images that I would like to use when I write my notes. The other big question is, if it doesn't meet the Dorito criteria, then how does one deliver important content most effectively in those scenarios and lessons? Would love to see what a typical non-lecture lesson from you looks like in your classroom.
Well, that reference to the Thanksgiving lecture is one that I give every year. And in that one I use a lot of images of art produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that depict the first Thanksgiving. So I just have them projected with black slides between them so they're not up longer than I need them (thus a distraction). And I make sure they only take up half the white board so I can write like a madman. And for the second question, if I can't meet the Dorito criteria, then I come up with something interactive to deliver the content (Harkness discussions, group debate, etc. All the standard stuff). That means, in practice, I only give a proper lecture (i.e., it lasts more than half the class) a handful of times per semester. However, that doesn't mean I don't stand up and talk for 5-10 minutes at a time on a lot of other occasions. Sometimes I need to do that in order to introduce them to material that they'll need for the activity, or whatever.
My teacher stands at his podium with his teacher notes and just reads them. He has slides with the main ideas it’s really boring and puts me to sleep for apush
i aint gonna lie, if you didnt finish that story, i wouldve disliked the video, write a FUCK YOU in the comments and left. Also thanks, I wouldve never thought some lecturers go off topic intentionally. I always thought the most liked lecturers are just interesting. In my university courses someone usually makes a group chat where we text each other, and when the lecturer starts going off topic we love it but still end up just sending memes and jokes and talk about life. This is quite awkward because now I'm the one teaching courses. 😂😂😂 and now I can see why lecturers do that stupid shit, you get invested in trying to cram as much information as possible but ppl really dont give two shits
Jews put their people on that wall to remember and still CHOOSE to NOT learn? Horrible! #freepalestine #ceasefirenow Btw, I loved the technique of "tension and release" in teaching.
You kidding me? This is absolute trash. It's like one of those guys selling pots and pans at a country fair ... talking fast and confidently but fully knowing that the pan isn't going to work when you get it home.
This is so stupid. 1. thats not a narrative that's just two completely unrelated stories. 2. It's irrelevant not to mention distasteful to talk about someone dying a horrible way during your lecture especially considering it's totally irrelevant. 3. It's not 'building tension' it's just confusing everyone.
lol true. I was so confused. He must teach at a very high ability school. I could do 10 straight backflips in front of my class and they wouldn’t even know since they’re staring at their phones the entire time.
