What creative teaching strategy have you or your peers used in a clinical or on-the-job setting that has reinforced content and skills learned in class?

Which teaching strategy fits your teaching style and content best, and why?

Give it a try and enjoy!

Using stories is a great way to engage your learners. If you are inviting them to learn from each other you are modeling an excellent example of working effectively as a team, which they will need on the job. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Thank you for your positive feedback, Emily. You have seen the benefit of actively involving your learners. Keep up the good wok.

Engaging students again and again is a priority.

Thanks for your nice note!

When I am playing Jeopardy, I put the class into small teams and they must elect someone from each team to buzz in for the group. This person can't answer a question (they only buzz in), the rest of his/her group can must answer the question if they are first to buzz in. I use a devise called an "Eggspert" which tells me who was first. For family fued, each person represents a small group who must either answer or give advice to the panle member. Hope this helps.

I would not measure it as an individual activity, but rather see it as a reinforcing activity, Lisa Whether my learners learn from me or their peers, they are still learning. The more I can get them to go back over the material, whether using competition or not(which many find motivating) I see as a positive.

Keep up the food work, Lisa! I appreciate you sharing your ideas with me.
