I 100% see that integrating visual aids during lecture helps with retention.  I often make time for in lecturing labeling activities.  I will try a new approach; perhaps the Draw a Term or something like the Whole Brain Organizer. 

I like the idea of using a sequential game strategy within class to perhaps introduce material that isn't covered directly.

I like the ball toss. I would give students a minute to come up with something they learned today, then start and have them toss to other students. 

There is no one best teaching style, and teaching should incorporate all the learning styles. Students should not be stuck in one category of learning and should explore all ways of learning. 

I always resented the push to make learning like a game for some reason.  However, after this module it's hit me more like it can be a tool to make certain associations or learning easy, which indeed is an objective no matter what content.  Certainly, there is a range of options to include as well, from merely having students work together, to having an accrual of points, to an actual game format etc. 

Good information. It is a good idea for students to assess their learning style, but they need to look at other ways of learning and not get stuck on one way. Offereing different options - lecture, video, hands on gives students different ways to learn and maybe see that they are a multimodal learner, not just one. 

After discussing a topic, I usually have a story to go along with it. This reinforces the concept and shows how what we learn aplies to real life. Many times, students have a story (usually about a family member) that may relate to the heathcare topic we are talking about. 

I think it is important for students to observe others and take notice of correct and incorrect procedures. I have had students observe improper technique and report to me. I have a good working relationship with my clinical facility and I am comfortable talking with the employees and administration when something is out of place. Sometimes students will talk with the staff and explain they learned it differently. I don't think it is wrong to professionally remind someone to wear gloves or wash their hands. 

Get to know your students. Students learn differently. Be creative and have a variety of lesson plans or options to meet student learning needs. Offer choices. 

Versatility is key, be open to new ideas and creative in methods
