Comment on Kathleen O’Neil-Meyers's post: Comment on Kelly Penn's post: I too am looking forward to trying many of the different activities. Keeping class informative and fun is very important!
There are a lot of good ideas to help to get the information across to all types of students. Medical terminology is one that is daunting at times to teach and is stressed throughout the medical assisting program that it is imperative they know their terms to succeed, is the one thing they will use throughout their medical careers.
I like the idea of incorporating fun into learning medical terminology, as this can be difficult to remember when there are so many terms. I like to play Medical Terminology Family Feud, where I choose teams and one rep from each team faces off and must strike the buzzer first with the correct answer. The first team to reach 10 wins.
Visual note taking seems to be interesting; I will incorporate and promote this to my learning environment.
I love the 9 box method. Learned this at a seminar a few years ago about CPR and look forward to putting back into use in the classroom.
The multiple styles give me confidence
I have learned about some fun and exciting learning activities that will help students learn and retain information. I plan to implement some of them.
i think visual note taking is not easy for all the students but the idea is great and I will use it more
There are several games that can engage students readily.
I have used some visual notes before but I think I need to use it more often during things like the terminology.
I have learned so many examples that could be utilized in my other courses as well as just medical terminology.
I have felt pretty confident with multiple learning styles, however, not all. I can't relate to the analytical person and therefore son't have as many tools in my toolbox for all learners.
Understanding visual aids is greater than hanging informative posters its incorporating them into the lesson plan as a memorization activity.
I like the concept of visual note taking. I'm going to try it.
I IS A GREAT IDEA TO INCLUDE THESE VISUAL METHODS IN THE TEACHING TECHNIQUES TO FULFILL THE PURPOSE OF DELIVERING THE INFORMATIONS TO OUR STUDENTS.
I love that these ideas incorporate all different learning styles. Theyve given me some great ideas, and I will try to adapt some to online learning.
This module goes more in-depth on the concept that many people are visual learners. This module gave us examples of how we can apply this knowledge to help students learn. I like the idea of breaking up the monotony of lecture every so often, to do a visual activity, to help reinforce a topic.
I have learned many new visual techniquesand ideas to stimulate my classroom. I think Draw a term would be a great visual game the students would have fun with and learn at the same time.
I love the Charades using fun and humor in the classroom engages in learning.
I really like all these ideas and am looking forward to implementing several of them!
