In a world dominated by technology, it is important that we teach students the value of learning IT related skills.
Some students have never used some technology and may need more time to catch on to some technologies.
IT integration is a fast evolving and extremely popular mode of interacting within a business and beyond the walls of the business. The mastery of the technical side is essential in developing the proper array of tools to be the most successful in an ever growing technological world.
IT understanding and use in class are a key for productivity and engagement of the group of students
Technology is a necessary component or any career and students needs to encounter it in a relevant way as early and often as possible.
Integrating technology into the classroom is very important to build learners' hybrid skills. This is the first time I've ever heard of these skills.
Teamwork is vital in all learning/business formats.
There are many restaurant/hospitality software programs that not only act as a Point of Sale ordering and payment system, but also track inventory, help with creating orders form suppliers and with recipe storage and costing. These are all tasks that have traditionally been done manually and the software makes the calculations much more quickly and accurately.
I learned that it is very important for students to learn technology to help them become hirable when they begin searching for their jobs.
Technology in Healthcare Education
Hopefully all candidates entering the healthcare world would know to expect they would be utilizing Information Technology (I.T.), and therefore should expect to utilize it during their classroom, laboratory, and clinical experiences.
I have used PowerPoint® in clickable interactive format to create a simulated patient electronic medical record (EMR). I tried to design it to be a foreshadowing of what a student will see when (s)he goes into clinical. For those familiar with reading a patient’s EMR, it may include the following and more:
History and Physical, Emer. Dept. record, Laboratory values, Radiographic images and interpretation, specialized notes from Registered Respiratory Therapists or other specialists, Physician orders, surgical notes, and much more.
One other thought about I.T. in healthcare, artificial intelligence (A.I) may increasingly play a role in patient safety. Picture a weary Resident physician at 3 am, trying to make sense of a patient’s deteriorating condition. With A.I. thoughtfully incorporated into such EMRs as Epic® programmed to catch all out of range laboratory values, a summary of abnormal values can be sent to the Resident to consider, not dominating the human freedom to analyze, but to offer a gentle nudge to consider “what if” in the Resident’s differential diagnosis. Some technophobes may fight the inclusion of such A.I., but it is strongly likely to contribute to patient safety.
It is so imperative in todays market to utilize technology in the classroom. Social media being so big my favorite project is students creating an instagram post or tiktok to get their creativity and technical skills flowing.
IT is key to being successful in the working environment for students. Incorporating it into the classroom is essential for students to learn how to use it to be effective and productive.
Comment on Jeri Henley's post: That is why PD's are important.
Cell Phone and technology has its advantages but in a culinary class it is very hard to keep a student focus and away from the cell phone.
i am already using technology.in my classroom. using ICEV, ALLDATA, SHOPKEY, IDENTIFIX and GOOGLE CLASS ROOM, I engage with my class their assignments and repair information.
Technology is much needed
Adding technology into the classroom allows the students to expand their knowledge by adapting to the changing environment. It helps them become hirable.
Information Technology is the way forward for all progressive companies
Technology can help increase interactive learning and communication more efficiently.
Professor must be updated about technology to transmit our experiences though the technology to our students, the best way the will understand complex topics.
