“Do you understand this concept? Does anyone have any questions?” Have you ever asked your class questions like these, received a room full of shy smiles or nods, and moved on only for it to become very obvious that a number of the students had not grasped the basics and further explanation?
While getting your students to pay attention can be a challenge, ensuring they have understood key concepts can be even more difficult. Listening does not equate with understanding, and as teachers, the sooner we can get a real feel for their actual level of understanding, the more we can help them succeed as students.
In these slides, Kimi Anderson will share some simple but effective strategies that teachers can implement to better gauge students’ level of understanding in the classroom. She will share some practical tips using various technology platforms and some useful approaches to group activities.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

15. Keep announcement page minimal—for really important
messages
Place Weekly Notes under CONTENT
•Top portion: Notes for all Classes

This helps overall class communication. Weekly notes help develop a
sense of immediacy, helps tie weeks’ content together, and gets out other
important information. Students know I’m in “real time” with them.
16. Examples of note points:
• Words of encouragement
• Reminders about policies
• Tips on LMS (collapsible content)
• Further explanation of difficult chapter concepts
• “Heads up” about unusual assignments or special
needs for the future
• School notices that we’ve been asked to pass on
(financial aid pickup, college surveys, graduation

22. QUESTIONS FOR CLASSMATES
Week 1: I usually start with two, 2-part questions, listed as “Kari’s week 1
questions”, one set per “forum”:
Question Set #1
Part A) Where do you consider yourself from and why?
Part B) What are you going to school to study?
Question Set #2
Part A) How many online classes have you taken before?
Part B) If you have had one or more online classes before, what advice
might you give someone taking an online class for the very first time? If
this is your first online class, what do you think you need to do differently
in order to be successful in this online learning environment?
23. Here are some examples of past questions from students
General questions:
If you could own a non-traditional pet, what would it be?
If you could change any one thing about the way society is today; what would it be and why?
If you could meet any fictional character, who would it be and why?
Dogs or cats? Which do you prefer and why?
What, if anything, would you do differently with your life if you won the lottery today?
If you could be a super hero, what would your special power be?
24. Here are some course specific examples:
Mass Communication
Where do you go to get your news and is the internet helping or hurting news media?
What movie has had the most impact on your life? Explain your answer.
Intercultural Communication
What language would you want to learn to speak fluently and why that one over all others?
Choose one country you’d like to visit and one person (living or dead) from that country that you would
like to be your tour guide and explain why you chose as you did.
If you were visiting the country of your choice, would you rather remain in familiar, "Americanized" resorts
or would you prefer to stay/travel with a local from that country? Why?
Interpersonal Communication
What is the biggest difference between distant learning and in class learning?
How do you feel about talking in front of people you don’t know?
Online Social Networking
What is your favorite Facebook game and how often per day, week, or month do you spend on it?
What effect do you think texting has had on other forms of communication?
25. • Release information only for that upcoming week.
• Include dates in subject line as well as week #
• Use reverse uploading (most current at top)
• Make logical sequence for students
• Use outline format
This helps keep content more ADA-friendly (less scrolling for all of
us). Weekly release keeps them engaged yet not
OVERWHELMED!
27. • WEDNESDAYS (some small work always due each week, 1/3 or work,
ie discussion post and a small quiz)
• FRIDAYS (the other 2/3 due this day, usually chapter quizzes and other
assignments)
•All is released at 3 pm and work can be completed any time between
release and due date for that week.
This gets students into course early and helps prevent total procrastination
and spreads out work.
•*
28. I always release the upcoming week’s work (notes,
assignment schedule, and anything with a release
date) at 3 pm on the Friday prior to the start of the
week.
This allows students the chance to work on homework (or at least
pop in to see what the week will look like) over the weekend.
To me the weekend is meant for being proactive not
for procrastinating—so I set up class that way
I can usually count students who are “on-top” of their studies
to be the first ones in and it’s a good check-in for me.
If there is an issue I can usually have it fixed before the
majority of students have logged in for the week.
29. • Both my Wednesday and Friday deadlines are set for 1 pm not midnight
• I’m available at that time, computer help desk is available, tutoring center
is open, local lms office is open, state lms help line is running, etc.
• Assignments are open all week (and weekend prior). Students are not
required to be online at 1 pm, just have their work done by then.
If students have an issue (with content or with their technology) they have a
support “net”work that can assist.
30. • Courses
• Assignments (think multiple intelligences and learning styles)
• Opportunities (I have some assignment choices: do A or B)
This help keep students engaged and connected to content. Aim for
one degree.
•Due dates/times
• Repeat-type assignments
•Class Policies
•Grading
This gets students into a routine and helps class management.
31. I have students take Learning Style Assessment
first week and then try to hit all learner types. For
example…
Playlists (use for survey, and I frequently have
students create a playlist based on a theme)
Videos (as supplemental content, as tutorials, quiz
them on videos, search & report on videos and soon
will have them create their own videos)
Word Scrambles
Fill in the missing word in this quote
Interpersonal interview assignments
Photo Assignments
32. Use Web 2.0 Tools
and
Web 3.0 Tools!
• Let’s explore some of these in
second half
• But first…
33. What you are about to hear
may be unusual…but hear
me out.
WARNING! WARNING!!
34. I Do UNTIMED OPEN BOOK QUIZZES:
I’ve found this helps relieve student and instructor stress so
we can focus on active learning.
TIERED RANDOMIZATION:
•Question order
•Answer options within the question itself
•Questions selected from question pool
35. • One point (only on quizzes and surveys)
• Only to first person who properly
reports the error (must include student
name, class, quiz/survey title, question
number, error and what the error should be)
This promotes real accountability and
improves course communication.
38. • Student Self Assessments
• Concept Application
• Course Effectiveness
This helps keep students and
instructor connected to the
learning objectives.
39. We’re going to play with surveys
this afternoon:
• Surveys within D2L
• Survey options with Smartphones
• Clickers?
40. •Between the student and the content
•Between you and the student
•Between the students themselves
This helps build a stronger sense of
community and helps more holistic growth
of your students (and dare I say you as the
instructor too).
•*
41. Examples Between Student
and Content:
• Have students share personal experiences
• Think about different learning styles
• Give options to meet those styles
• Active learning opportunities beyond tests
• Windows & Mirrors
42. Examples Between You
and Student:
• Use personal experiences
• Share photos and videos
• Be personable in discussion boards
• Use constructive criticism and feedback
Be passionate and don’t be afraid to share!!
43. Examples Between Students:
• Ice Breakers
• Most interesting/Most surprising
• Weekly discussion board questions
• Reflections on peer work
• Surveys – share overall class results
44. • Reaffirm respectful communication
• Use “please” and “thank you”
• Encouraging words
• Be a Role Model: Answer questions first, then
do a “food for thought” or “please re-read this and see if it
could be perceived in a way…”
• Encourage I-messages
Promotes class integrity, respect, and win-win
communication.
