Students or adults in general learn best by the application of practical life skills and techniques. There are many things a textbook just can’t and won’t explain making “life” a very big influence.
All are great teaching tools liked the ideas, i will impliment tool in the next anatomy course.
Be creative in teaching and learning
Comment on Rakhsheed Siddiqui-Lane's post:
I am also planning to adapt these styles. Willing to adopt any method to make the class not only more enjoyable, but also to retain information.
You can use raw spaghetti noodles to teach anatomy and physiology of how muscles work
You can use different tools to enhance learning
I love all the ideas, Wish I could print them off to remember them.
I found several of these exercises very creative and seems like a good way to mix up the teaching/learning experience.
Creativity and new ideas, especially ones that relate to everyday life, helps the students learn and retain information better than just simply reading or listening to lectures. Especially with the new younger generation.
Song to physical activity might be my next niche!
Using everyday items to create lasting memories, keeping the students engaged
I will incorporate the Pulse Point Marcena when teaching the pulses during lecture or clinical. The students can have while they learn.
This course gets you thinking about creative ideas to drive the information home.
I will never look at pizza the same. Great exercises.
Great ideas shared! Catchy songs are usually a hit with the students for ways to memorize topics
These are great ideas-and yes not all ideas will work-but we can also try other ideas using these as a springboard to assit with learning for students.
It is so hard to memorize the ABG gases per my students, I think using pizza activity will be great to apply. Macarena and dancing will be fun and informative.
I learned activities such as "Pulse Point Macarena", "ABG Go FIsh" etc to keep my students engange in their learning. I am planning to give a try to these activities!
Wow, great to have these activities as examples of what kinds of lessons are possible as an instructor. Great examples of how to break the habit of rote memorization.
These are awesome ideas, I have not come across most of them.
