There are some good ideas for some things I can utilize in a clinical setting for dental hygiene. However, there seemed to be only activities for other medical health professionals that were inappropriate for my area of expertise. If you have other ideas for dental hygiene clinic instructions or any didactic applications, I would be very interested in that particular area.

I love the secret ID game and will definitely be using that in the future. Thank you! Incorporating games is such an excellent idea in order to involve the students in their own learning and make it fun!

All activities sound fun and engaging. 

Applying emotion to content.

I like all of these ideas.  These situations have come up in clinical practice already, so it's nice to have some suggestions for how to handle them.  For instance, the "Staff Surprises" is an almost daily discussion for us.  The suggestion given here is how we handle it, and to have that corroborated is helpful.

I also love the "Dots on the watch" strategy for tracking clinical tasks.

These techniques for teaching are fantastic!

Comment on Katina Knight's post: I like the visual object regarding the celluar -arterial system. Using different shapes of candy and the assembly of it reinforces the circulatory system. 

Comment on Wilhelmina Mensah-Aggrey's post: In trying one of the strategies, I believe assessment is key in operating in the nsg process. The pairing off of the students and directing them to identify 10 items the noticed about them.

It is so important to vary teaching strategies to reach different types of learners.
