I am definitely a storyteller in class. Relating to experiences helps students understand the content. These learning strategies will be most helpful in the clinical setting as well as the classroom. I have used the acronym APE TO MAN to help students remember location and names of heart sounds while teaching head to toe assessment. 

Learning styles are very important in the classroom and clinical setting. Paying close attention to learning styles will help the student engage better and become successful with content. 

wow lots of great ideas . Will try a few

I teach in the clinical setting with nursing students. I Plan on using all teaching practices in this part of the module. I particularly will use the dot method. I feel this will keep me informed instead of running around to see what has been done. I also like the scenarios for down time. By including the scenarios,  I will keep the students engaged. In fact, I will do a few things different. Maybe have the students write their own and give to a fellow student.

I am always trying to come up with ideas to keep the students engaged. I plan on trying the scenario learning tool with the index cards. Critical thinking is an area students need to foster. 

These methods are good ways to liven up lessons that may be more dry 

Using games and crossword puzzles can help with learning 

Interactive activities can help to positively enforce learning and confidence  

Hands on learning is important to keep students engaged
