These were fantastic ideas concerning ways to engage students while also staying on task. I particularly liked the way the vacation/assessment task was set up.
Ideas refreshing & creative. Easily incorporated into the classroom setting.

I also like this activity. It's great to utilize multiple senses when assessing a patient.

The activity, which focused on how important it is to listen, was great.
It was excellent learning tools to ncrease critical thinking skills
I learned about various techniques in instruction that I would like to implement.
I learned multiple ways to keep students engaged in learning.
Incredible ideas, I plan to utilize one within the week
This course highlighted how interactive learning can enhance the critical thinking, knowledge sharing, and facilitate active learning.
When students participate in activities such as asking each other questions or teaching each other they are actively engaging themselves and enhancing their knowledge of each other.
I believe that it is important to teach in different style to reach every type of learning. I also think that lecturing by powerpoint is dreadful. Many student want lecture by powerpoint so that they do not have to put in work prior to class. I like to flip the classroom and provide a lecture video for them to watch. In class, I like to go over concepts, discussion groups, questions, etc.. In this way every learn reached.
Don't be afraid to try new teaching methods if your current ones are not successful.
I now have a great activity to use when introducing charting and the interview process. The others I will sprinkle throughout various classes, especially the thinking activity.
Strategies were interesting and slightly different from the one's used presently. Will incorporate
By changing the method in which you teach it gives your students a different perspective in which to look at the material and hopefully a different way to learn. It is important to find the different ways in which your student can learn the best, and likely it will be different for each of them.
I liked the A B exercise where the goal was not to remember what people said about their vacation, but to take note of characteristics of the person talking. That is extremely relevant to healthcare patients as well as every day life.
Great ideas. I will most likely use the idea of assessment and remembering chrcrteristics about the partner.
Varying teaching tools in the classroom is successful for the retention if material that might be hard to teach in the first place.
Engaging student is critical to help them learn to think critically and the link the content that s being taught
