Introduction
Start by using questions that guide the students to what they already know.
Explain what they will learn and clearly state an objective.
Tell them what to listen for in the presentation.
Discussion
Stop often to discuss what the students have learned.
Have the students re-state what was taught in the presentation.
Encourage student interaction during the presentation. The goal is to keep them engaged.
Allow time for questions.
Conclusion
Have an activity at the end to reinforce what the students learned.
A summarizing task is an effective way of helping students know the important facts they will need to remember.
As a teacher, confirm that students have met the objective you intended.
Virtual Tours
Although there are many locations our classes cannot physically visit, these places have been made available virtually.
It is said that a benefit of the Internet is that it makes the world a much smaller place.
