Active Learning

I am an instructor that teaches Vital Signs. One thing I like to do with the students is we exercise when learning the pulse points. Sometimes I may turn on a familiar song and we make a dance out of. They really enjoy it and it also helps them to learn. When it comes time for them to test, I can look across the room and see their heads bobbing to the beat of the song and I just smile.

I too teach the Vitals course and what I usually do is bring in the Wii Fit and we exercise or do Rock band or Dance 360 and take each other vital signs at various stages and during different levels of activity. This interaction has been an awesome tool to use, that has helpe me drive home concepts to the learners that learn by doing.
