I plan to incorporate Kahoot as a way for students to have fun learning terminology.
Retention of information is key to success. I plan to try the game Kahoot in my next class.
What fabulous ideas! I can see where it would help with other courses as well as medical term
I didn't try the baseball game . I think everybody will love that. thank you
There are many ways to engage a classroom with various activities to keep students attention.
Comment on Nichole Jarnagin's post: I have learned how to keep students engaged through learning activity. I saw how to turn learning into game and team interaction this producing long term memory retention.

Group activities are important to keep the group and each individual engaged in learning. Adding more "fun" to learning helps each student retain more information.
I think I will try all of these ideas during different lessons this year because it will keep things new and fresh for reviewing all the id and terminology that we use.
I'm going to try the index card matching activity today and the ball toss at the end, if we have time. Very excited to try these out!
It is actually easy to incorporate learning activities into a Medical Terminology lesson.
I actually loved all of the ideas. I think if I had to prioritize an order, it would be to do the ball toss just because of less time with preparation and they can be a bit more self directed and need to use more immediate recall. Then the next item in order of priority would be secret identity that would probably be implemented this next fall, however, I do hope to use even more in the future.
My students love Kahoots. They say it helps them learn and retain. However, I do not use them in class; if offer them as a resource for Self-Study.

Classroom games for content retention is a great idea. It also breaks up the ususally classroom instruction and provided increased engagement.
These are great suggestions for keeping students engaged while learning medical terminology
I inted to apply the question and answer relay race in the class.
I would love to use these, but as I am teaching an online course, I will need to modify. I think the idea of "throwing the ball" is a great idea to summarize the lesson of the day
The ball toss game is definintely something I'd like to implement with my class. I think it is a fun and exciting way to summarize what has been learned.
In this module, I learned different activities and methods of engaging the class, to help with retention of information.
I think the Secret Idenity Game would really help the nursing students with their open ended qestions. PLus it seems like a lively game that will keep them awake and learning during class.
