Technology has really enhanced learning for nursing students. Students are now able to work through case-based scenarios of patient care and learn clinical judgement skills in the process. From using videos to simulation mannequins the level of skills needed prior to actually performing the skill on an actual patient has increased the quality of care and safety of care given
Technology in the class room is a great way to reach our students, and to help better bring our students into the learning process.
I think it is important to use technology to create better learning experiences, scenarios and this could work to enhance critical thinking and problem solving skills.
I enjoyed learning about the simulated work environment. In nursing this is very benificial.
I learned new ways I can implement technology into the classroom and help reach all different types of learners. The question formulation technique is also a great resource to use to help me get away from more direct teaching. We have a dental clinic in our program that helps the students learn what it will be like to work in our industry and how to manage different types of patients. I am glad to know we are enhancing their education by doing that!
I feel like a workplace education style would work well for our school. We work closely with many local industry groups and it would be benefitial both for our industry partners and the students.
Ways to use technology to connect students with new learning trends and facilite student learning.
Allowing students to learn in the environment that they will be working in, is a great tool for giving students real world experience in their field.
I learned as a new instructor how important it is to include technology and fun in the classroom. There are so many websites and apps that are available to help.
The need to embrace technology not only in the classroom but in every day life is vital. For me, it's a struggle everyday to keep up and I find sometimes my students teach me more than I do them!
I plan on working in more real- world scenarios into my curriculum. Aside from the job shadowing and tours we do, I can bring more into the classroom in terms of what typical office procedure may be (emails, correspondence, chain of authority, etc).
One of the things I struggle with the most is introducing new technology into my classroom. I enjoyed learning more about RMAS transformation enhancement. I'm currently considering incorporating a restaurant simulation into my coursework. It's proving tricky, but it will be a great learning experience for the students and me. I love project based learning!
Dont limit yourself to what your use to. Use all the other technology resources available to help aid you class.
I like the idea of Project-based learning. Having a real world connection is hard, for me, I think in English. Books, words, and feelings. How do you connect that to welding or electrical. This is my struggle. But I'd love to find some sort of problem that the students can work on together that connects what we're learning to the real world.
Our school has a new work based learning coordinator, so I'm excited to see the partnerships with our CTE Students.
Simulated workplace is an amazing concept that will be implemented by me at the school I work for.
In CTE, project-based learning is KEY! Project-based learning is the fundamental strength of CTE.
Work based learning is beneficial for students in CTE. We lean best by watching others and practicing.
Learning new ways to reach and teach students is absolutely the fresh air that traditional learning needs to meet the evolving wants of newer generations. Change is usually good.
I employ as much technology in the classroom as possible, but what I like most about this section is internships. I teach a practicum class which is listed as un-paid, but many of my students are getting paid for their time. The time spent on the job through the practicum is priceless. All my students who have this class love the experience and seem to pick up so much more than I can give them in the classroom or even the lab environment.
