Being in front of a class is not easy, we can make it look as if it is though. Proper preparation is critical to optimal engagement of a class. We all know the best plan should always have a backup just incase things go curplooey. I have found making sure I have devoted time to organizing not over analyzing the lessons I plan to present things go much smoother. I usually try to follow a 15 minute review what you know, show me what you remember, and then lets add some new material, and end it with what do you… >>>

The first time or two you may have quite a few who are shy and say oh what she said...I encourage them gently to come up with their own voice. I tell them ok you can pass today but tomorrow you will be the person who starts us out, no passing two days in a row. It actually feeds the competiveness in the class to see who can redirect the topic to what they want to say. I have found most people to be willing to be involved. I think the bigger the class the more fun, everyone actually listens… >>>

I generally let the students initiate the topic,but all fast talk has to relate to what we have learned that day or prior. Sometimes if everyone is being shy then I may throw out a Key Word and let them role from there.
It is really fun to hear what they have honed into, we think the points we find fastenating are what they are likely to mention, most times nope, they have their own ideas.
This really encourages participation and even the quiet person has their moment to shine.

I amke sure I address this when I go over syllabus. I tell students if they cheat they are cheating not only themselves but their future patients as well. Being able to say they passed an exam with an A but comprehend nothing is worthless. They should fast forward to their first job after graduation; You are expected to perform....but uh oh you cheated on that test, meant to go back and read the material but never got around to it, the employer expects you to do the task, but truth is you have no idea what it even is....who… >>>

The end of class everyone has to contribute to the fast talk topic. One person starts the next person can add to the topic or change the topic to what they have learned. This way everyone has to clue into something during class, they cannot simple say someone said what I was going to say, They have to put their perspective on it. They may be able to present the subject in a manor someone else may understand more clearly. Every person gets 45 seconds, but no more than a minute to give their fast talk.

I believe it is a good idea to allow students this oppurtunity. Most times students are more focussed on their education, and having the seperation of exams really makes the student stive to achieve.

I like the social network that our school provides.I believe students have a greater feeling of inclusion when these resources are available.
