Using unique and novel methods to promote learning on topics I have challenges in teaching can be a boon for both students and myself
It is best to give breaks between heaving teaching content
I liked all the activities presented and plan to incorporate some of them in some way into my curriculum.
Excited to use Eyes and Ears during the Communication unitv to teach the importance of using all the senses.
Also the Who is the Weakest Thinker? This will be good to use just prior to students completing their clinical rotation. Students learn how to do a task correctly but then learn shortcuts once they go to clinical.
A lot of fun activities that I have never considered. I look forward to reviewing my curriculum to see how to best implement some of these ideas. I greatly appreciate the creativity and outside the box methods.
"Try a new teaching idea, with topics that is hard to teach " is a great idea.
I will adapt some of these at my clinical site . I find it very interesting and easy to apply wen they are new to a clinical site , while adapting to the policies and procedures at the new facility.
I will adapt some of the activities for hard-to-teach topics.
This course helped me to gain ideas and learn how to engage students in the classroom setting.
HOW TO CONITNUE TO ENGAGE IN THE CRITICAL THINKING THAT IS NECESSARY FOR DIDACTIC CLASSES
I learned that actively involving the students will go far in them remembering how to do things or where they can find critical supplies when performing tasks. I like the idea of the clock as well as the assessment group by dividing the students into groups and giving them a timed task.
I will incorporate ILA with content that is known to be challenges to students. Great activities that can be used to enhance a clinical experience.
The professional activity I love is the out-of-the-ordinary teaching event, as well as breaking the class into small groups. Using these to foster memory of the content, and these activities will be used in my classes. I can also use this with my online courses.
using a variety of methods will help engage all students as each learns differently. Games really help engagement and developing critical thinking while having fun.
The teaching methods are amazing!

Comment on Andrew Alfonso's post: I learned that the various methods to use to assist with engaging learning in a differing method can be useful in the learning environment. The ones that stick out the most are Songs to get them moving/transition music ! Activities to allow them to critically think and locate supplies/ stock by using timed treasure hunts .
I learned that it is okay to try different teaching styles and that YouTube is an excellent source of teaching materials.
Having a variety of teaching styles keeps the classroom interesting.
