I am too familiar with the concepts discussed in this module, especially since the remote learning environment of the COVID-19 era made these technological innovations somewhat mandatory.

I haven't heard of Fink's Taxonomy until now. I appreciate it. I especially think the "Learning how to Learn" component is sorely lacking in institutions of higher learning.

I was unaware of the term "authentic assessment" prior to reading it from this module. In the given example, it seems that authentic assessment is somewhat of an integrative approach to simultaneously probe different domains of learning. 

Pros and Cons of different testing. It also has helped me understand the differences and what would be a better choice to use in class 

I learned assessments are important to see where students are in their learning. I learned about CATS and one minute paper.

I learned how important it is to ask questions but also pause and listen to what is being said. Questioning also provides feedback to the instructors

I know from my own experience that I'm a visual and hands on learner. In my classroom I want to include everyone, so I use different learning methods. I would like to prep my class with more options with learning going forward as everyone learns so differently. I also learned that teaching the student their preferred method of learning can improve their grade by 10 percent.

After teaching nursing students for the past few years, I've realized that no two students learn the same way. I've had students who can watch me demonstrate a skill once and pick it up right away, while others need me to walk them through it a few times before they feel comfortable. I've also had students who were afraid to even approach a patient at the beginning of clinicals, but by the end of the term, they're taking vital signs, performing head-to-toe assessments, and communicating with patients with very little assistance. Seeing that improvement is one of the things I… >>>

With my experience as a clinical nursing instructor, I’ve learned that the first day with a new group of students is important because it gives me a chance to build trust and set expectations. Many students come into clinicals feeling nervous, especially when they realize they will be working with actual patients instead of practicing on mannequins in the lab. I like to introduce myself, explain how clinical rotations will work, review safety expectations, and give students a chance to ask questions. I also remind them that they are there to learn and that I don't expect them to know… >>>

This lesson reminded me of how much preparation goes into teaching, especially when working with nursing students. From my own experience, I’ve learned that when I come in prepared and have everything ready, the day usually goes a lot smoother. There have been times when things didn't go as planned, and I had to make adjustments along the way. I’ve realized that being organized not only makes my job easier but also gives me more time to work with students who may need extra help or practice. It's something I continue to work on because I want my students to… >>>
