What a great idea to try at the end of class or for a review class prior to a test!  I cannot wait to try this next semester.

I think my students learn better when they teach me.  I prefer to be the "Guide by the side" as opposed to the "Sage on the stage".  What do you think?

Hi Everyone,

I really like the idea of incorporating rebus puzzle games in my classroom as a way to learn medical terminology.  However, when I googled rebus puzzle maker it gave me a pictogram puzzle maker instead.  I can use this too for class but would like to incorporate both ideas into my classroom.  Does anyone know where I can find a rebus puzzle maker (like the game show Concentration) on the internet?  If so, please let me know the URL.

Thanks,

Ms. Bacon

I think I'll use the "name badge on the back" to introduce my first set of terminology terms next quarter.

For my next class I plan to incorporate the Question and Answer Relay Race but as a competition between two teams.  I think my students will enjoy it.

Use some of these in my teaching already but great ideas to use to go off of in the future. Haven't thought of the shower cap that is great. Thank you for the new learning as I continue to learn everyday.

How has your experience as an instructor being with engaging a student in the allied health educational track to effectively learn and retain the course content?

When introducing games how do you deal with the students that don't want to "play".

There are countless options for digital assessment and evaluation tools, but not all

choices are appropriate for the measurement of every learning outcome. This course is

designed to help you understand your choices and help you select and implement the

best digital assessment and evaluation options for you and your students.

There are those student who come along and you know they either 1. didn't want to start the programbut their parents forced them to do it, 2. are doing it with a friend or sister, or 3. just didn't know what else to do and this seemed like a good idea.

How do you try and reach them and get them to care about the profession?

I really like these ideas! I have been teaching Medical Terminology now for about 1.5 years and it is a tough course. I explain it as building a home, you need to have a sturdy foundation otherwise everything around just crumbles. Med Term is that foundation. It IS a new language, and as is with all languages, it takes dedication and work to master. This doesn't come easy and it's not suppose to. I try everything I can to make the class more interactive and enjoyable, although there are times I just feel defeated. I must admit, jeopardy helps! I… >>>

The idea of dots is a unique way in which the instructor can monitor the student's abilities in different skill sets. This places the focus on the student to obtain the required competency skills checked off without direct supervision from an instructor. I also found it quite informative when discussing staff and the procedures that are being performed on patients. While instructing students in the textbook manner, oftentimes in a clinical setting they may encounter procedures being performed that are not neccesssarily by the book. This allows the student to reinforce their skill sets when performing tasks while seeing alternative… >>>
