Teaching for Student Learning
Teaching and learning styles: For some teachers, the chalkboard is the way to go. For others, PowerPoint feels right. There is almost no style or method that can't work if you do it correctly. It actually is an advantage for students to experience a variety of teaching modes, since not all of them respond to the same methods. Choosing the right one for you involves considering the type of material you are teaching and your personal preferences. It is also helpful to know something about the different ways in which students learn material.
