It was an interesting course and I learned about a variety of activities that can be incorporated into the class time to make learning more fun, interesting and lively for the students. I plan to utilize some of these games to enhance the memorization and / or learning process. 

This module made me aware of many interesting interactive games to introduce in the class room setting to make learning fun rather than pure memorization. I was familiar with crossword and word search activities but ball toss, finding the match or flip card games seem very promising and fun activities.

It was interesting to know that the new concept / terminology should be exposed to students and possibly in different exciting ways, at least 6 times to get 90% retention results. The facts that 80% of students are visual learners and when emotions are tied to any learning, it commits to long term memory quicker were very interesting.

i think this is a great idea. it would incorporate some of the alternate teaching techniques prior to lecture.

Retaining  information is important so we have to teach it in a way to help them understand and retain. 

I plan to use the shower cap idea to show the infant skull/suture lines in reference to labor and delivery.

Using gestures with your students is very important so you are not traumatizing the patient.  The patient must be the first priority and not feel like they are being used for experimentation.

I love the thought of incorporating a critical thinking puzzle at the beginning of class to get students into critical thinking mode.

Drawing medical terms helps that visual learner.

I have always loved word searches myself and will incorporate that and crosswords into class.
