ED 101 has been a great refresher on the princples of teaching and learning.  There were some really good points that I have not used before, including the use of an iPad with additional info, that will support your presentation.  This will be something I will add into my classes from now on.  I am aware of engaging students and establishing relationships with them, which I will continue to do.  I know this makes a world of difference in the student's learning. 

One thing I always try to do is encourage the learner to really learn the information and skills because the patient is loved by someone.  I ask them to imagine if they were caring for one of the people they love the most.  In that circumstance, they definitely want the right care given and they would want the knowledge and skills to provide the best care possible.  Making it personal can give the student more motivation.  Since nursing is a caring profession, we need to care, but we also need to know what we are doing and why, and understand that our clients expect us to know what we are doing.
