Shifting Our Focus

When grasping the attention of all my students at once is a beautiful thing. Just seeing this in there eyes lets me know I've hit a high note. How ever this is not all the time and this outline has taught me a few tricks that I will concentrate on. Has this happened to anyone else?

Selecting Teaching Strategies

Adults love stickers!

My adult students look forward to receiving stickers for work done well or for putting extra effort into their assignments. Stickers are inexpensive, can be fun and encouraging, and are easy to use. Many of my students group their stickers on visually prominent items, such as their ID badge or on a notebook cover. These collections act as a motivator and as a conversation starter for new students who ask, "where did those come from?" Stickers have often sparked positive competition within my student population.

I text my students even when they are finished with my class to see how they are doing

REMINDING STUDENTS ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED

Staying in touch with students that have graduated is very important. The first year after graduating is scary for them because they are still not very sure about how things are going to be out in the work world. Sending a reminder to them is a great way to encourage them and give them the confidence they need to persevere through any obstacle they encounter. It is definitely a technique I will be using in my classroom.

Follow-up with past students

It would be great to have many or all previous students come back and share but they are probably working. If they cannot come I was thinking of creating a photo, memory book that they can email me to share without physically coming to visit.

Peer Language

My goodness this is so true... The world as it is, sometimes this is essential. I remember when I went threw this and the strong individual I am sometimes I found this very hard. I will say that team work is probably one of the most important lessons that we COULD ever teach know matter what field one is in. What I think this does teach eventually is personal responsibility to our selves. Then to another!!

What do you do when your student doesn't want to be there

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?

Assessment in Your Classroom

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.

Medical Terminology

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

Teaching strategy

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?

Great Ideas

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.

ED310

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.

ED 310

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

Rebus Puzzles

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

Do you learn by teaching others?

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?

Nerf Ball Review

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.

Guess the Term By Deductive Reasoning

I have bought sticky name tags and will write various terms on them from Chapter 2 in Oral Pathology.  The stickers will be placed on the backs of the students tomorrow morning and then I will instruct them to ask questions regarding the classifications of the term and have one student, in a pair of students, try to figure out which lesion is stuck to the back of their partner based on color, texture, size, location in the oral cavity,severity, and any other relevant oral conditions.

 

I'll let you know how it goes...
