Jeanne,
I understand exactly how you feel and struggle with this myself. A few things that I have implemented successfully when teaching information needed for certifications have been Kahoot! and Quizlet. I generally give my instruction/lecture/demonstrate in smaller segments, then put the class in several groups to play a Kahoot! game in a competition format. It is fun for students as well as a great review of what you have just instructed. Most importantly, it breaks up the monotony and changes the tone of the class. I am starting to use Quizlet more as there is a new feature that allows you to upload diagrams for labeling or videos with questions to be answered after the video. Both of these can be accessed after your class by the students and used as a study tool.
The negative is that it takes your extra time to put this together. I have resolved myself to the fact that I cannot do this all at one time, so I am building this as I go. So far, it has proven to be very successful! Best of luck to you!
