You can use different tools to enhance learning
Use can use different objects instead of realistic manikins to teach skills of what to do in case an infant is choking, and use a teddy bear to practice skills.
I learned that different methods can be used in clinical to increase knowledge.
For example, bingo card can be used and it is filled by the students each time they observed anything on a patient, like iv, or dressing, scar, etc.
When students participate in activities such as asking each other questions or teaching each other they are actively engaging themselves and enhancing their knowledge of each other.
I love all the ideas, Wish I could print them off to remember them.
I love the shower cap, the tee shirt, and the sheet idea.
I love the red, blue, and green dot idea. However, I could also see some student being dishonest with the dots.
I believe that it is important to teach in different style to reach every type of learning. I also think that lecturing by powerpoint is dreadful. Many student want lecture by powerpoint so that they do not have to put in work prior to class. I like to flip the classroom and provide a lecture video for them to watch. In class, I like to go over concepts, discussion groups, questions, etc.. In this way every learn reached.
There are several great ideas to assist clinical teaching methods in this course.
Don't be afraid to try new teaching methods if your current ones are not successful.
