Engaging

It there is one thing I have learned from all of the teaching demos, including my own it is what engages the audience and what doesn’t.  I am really glad I picked humor as my instructional strategy.  I had a really good time researching it and learned a lot about how to use it appropriately.  I think that too often we as teachers feel too self conscience to use humor because of the risk we run of looking foolish.  Looking foolish every now and then makes life interesting and it sure does make class interesting.  Another thing I have learned from the teaching demos is that making your learners feel comfortable is also very important.  The demos I have felt most engaged in are the ones where the facilitator was relaxed and put the learners at ease.
