Comment on Sandra Byrnes's post: I also like the crossword puzzles and will research how to develop them. I think that would be a good tool for reviewing new words and definitions.

I learned the importance of repeating/reteaching the subject in various ways in order to maximize the student's learning. With the goal of making it fun!

Comment on Wilhelmina Mensah-Aggrey's post: I think using the t-shirts and the full size sheet for demonstration and practice of A&P will be a very informative and fun activity for students to do. 

Comment on Kathleen Watts's post: I too like the practice of nonverbal communication, it is so important not to worry the patient or increase the stress a student feels. I also like the event cards and other activities mentioned. Very helpful! 

Comment on Katina Knight's post: I'm looking forward to trying some of the activities in the didactic portion of class. I think the ideas are very creative and helpful, thank you! 

Comment on Tim Mitchell's post:  I have found that dividing the students into small groups and giving them an assignment to work on/problem solve and then share with the class has worked well. Sometimes the students don't discuss an important point, I've started summarizing the students report on the board and then adding additional information that they missed.

I have been using active learning including nursing case studies and group activities. This is an area that I want to further develop. I have found active learning to be very beneficial for the students and enjoyable for the instructor.
