Activities

The best way to retain information is to create diferent activities for the students.

GERMAN VASQUEZ

Introduce a Game

I have the best experience playing a Game in class and that helps the students to be more active.

310

I have found that while I'm preparing for the activity, I'm able to come up with more ideas for future classes. I enjoy sharing them with my colleagues. kjc

Course 310

I am very satisfied with the course. I have been implementing some of the games slowly and the student are responding positively. kjc

Love the group activities

I am a fan of the group activities. Just getting the students out of their seats and involved was a major plus. I teach an evening class, so most of the time the students are tired from the earlier part of their day. I did notice that they were more attentive and retained more of the information the next day. kjc

Hesitant at first

I was hesitant at first to introduce a "game" in class. Once we got started the students seemd to appreciate the effort. They enjoyed the game. I will definitely be returning to it in the future. kjc

Working with one student

I am currently teaching medical terminology for a single student who needs to repeat the class. I found that the memory game worked the best. Of course, there is no competition with other students. This seemed to increase his level of self confidence as well. kjc

course activities

I plan to impliment some of these ideas in some of my other classes. I feel that they would be benificial in other areas of study as well. kjc

Kimberli Collins

engaging students

I have been trying a couple of the ideas mentioned in the course. We tried throwing the tennis ball. That was actually effective. The students did benifit from the exercise. I noticed quiz grades improved. I'm excited to implement a couple more. kjc

Gestures

I think this can be adapted to dental clinical situations since so much of dentistry relies upon non verbal communicating.

Absolutely can not wait to use this!

Lisa Bradley

medical terminology

Good ideas and puzzles to keep students interested in memorizing medical terms.

Virginia Van Tilburg

Other than HIPAA

I like this idea just for the observing part. With new students, it breaks the ice with the upper classmen and it teachs them to observe other than the obvious.

Beth Muskat CHEP

hangman

playing hangman for medical term really helps the students remember

Virginia Van Tilburg

Group Activities

I love getting students out of their seats and moving around but it helps me just as much. I also am moving around, not just behind a desk and after the activity feel ready to get back to business. Thanks for all the new ideas.
