Comment on Megan Fitzsimmons's post: I am new to Kahoot and just learning how to use it. I also like the games of matching and the ball toss for review.

Comment on Mary Patricia Dandrea's post: 

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 Kathleen Watts's post: I've learned many new and exciting ways to teach various subjects. I'm looking forward to implementing them! 

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. 

Comment on Laura Hogins's post: I have found it very helpful to have plenty of backup resources and activities. Sometimes it seems that there isn't enough time to finish all the work and other times the goals and objectives were met sooner than I expected. Having backup activities and plans has been very helpful.

I find it challenging to quickly learn the names of the individual students. I have given them large index cards and asked them to write their preferred name on it. Also, I've given them multiple colored markers so they can decorate the card if they want to. That has helped me learn their names sooner and some students have really enjoyed the artistic effort.
