The most common classroom distraction that I have experienced in the classroom is student's chatting during lecture. A lot of the time their chatting is actually to do with the material that we are covering, so getting them to share what they are saying with the entire classroom can be beneficial to their learning process. If what they are chatting about is not pertinent to the topic that we are covering, I usually stop talking until the person(s) that are being disruptive catch on and stop talking themselves. I liked the idea that you had mentioned in class about using your classroom space and standing beside a student that is being disruptive in the classroom. I am going to try that this year.
I would actually love for classroom management to be a CAE course. It is something that I could use as an instructor that would make me more confident in the classroom and hopefully provide a better learning environment for all of the students I am working with.

Emile - Shiitake Mushrooms (How to Proprogate)
Seems very interested and passionate about topic. Word of mouth sometimes can provide the best leads.
Voice was difficult to hear at the beginning.
Adam - "BIM" Building Information Modeling
Good use of co-workers and other learning tools in your research.
Did not know the topic was for quite awhile, was left wondering what the presentation was on for the first few minutes.
Terry and Blair - Molecular Mixology
Enthusiasm about material shined through, you held my interest during your presentation. Great use of visuals! Happy to hear you obtained success!
Videos were quite loud.
MichelleL - Learning to Pot Flowers
Looks like you learned a lot and enjoyed the process.
I am sorry, I don't have anything to say for possible improvement.
Leila - How to Sew a Cushion Cover
Great summary of learning process, challenges encountered while learning were well presented.
Volume was quieter at beginning, seemed to get more comfortable as the presentation progressed.
MichelleH - Learning How to Fish for Catfish
Great use of resources in your learning process. Always nice to have an expert close at hand!
Did you have any difficulties? You made it look very easy!
Frank and Albert - Italian Wines
Sounds like you enjoyed your learning process.
Albert did a lot of the presentation, a more equal involvement in the presentation would be nice.
Natalia - Homemade Apple Wine
I agree that the internet can be a great source of information, but can lead you astray as well!
Walking back and forth to change the slides can be distracting
