Mia MacMeekin, at “An Ethical Island,” provides a chart that gives ideas for what to do if students are not paying attention. The suggestions are what most master teachers already know, but putting them together in one place is a good way to remind us what to do whether, as MacMeekin says, “it is the students who are bored” or “the instructor who is boring.” While visiting the site, take a look at some of the other poster-like summaries of good teaching that MacMeekin offers. There’s a “what if” about online learning, a “Did They Learn Anything?” about teaching techniques, Moodle help, and more.
