Student-centered learning is such fertile ground for educational innovation. As soon as possible after class, you should consider opening your Class Journal where you can record what went well and what went not so well. Through this process ideas for improvements and new ideas altogether will most likely arise. You should document the details of each class session even if you don't think anything unusual occurred. Unbeknownst to you, many ideas are likely brewing within your subconscious. The process of writing in your journal, especially soon after class, is a great way to allow these ideas to bubble up to the surface where you can consider them in fuller detail. Most all of my new curriculum ideas are generated through my own class journal. As an example, the .pdf available below is my liberal arts chemistry class journal of the Spring 2006 semester.
