I feel like this course is one that can be reviewed intermittently to determine if different strategies might be applicable to different students. 

So many tech resources in nursing. Getting students to stick to those that are compliant with their particular learning system is the challenge. Older learners have struggled with technology, and I'm not sure how to help with that. 

Nice addition of Fink's taxonomy

Very helpful to have a clearer understanding of objectives vs outcomes and traditional vs authentic assessment. 

So many great and creative ideas! I would like to try the ABG color cards and see if it helps the students to remember. 

Using creative household items and stories to commit important information to memory is a great idea. 

I am going to implement the event cards with my clinical group. I think getting them to think quickly on their feet as they are in their last term and preparing to be new nurses. I also like the dot idea and hand gestures to signal to each other discreetly. 

I love these fresh and fun ideas to build skills with our students. I will definitely utilize these, especially the one on observation. 

Being prepared and overpreparing would be a technique that I would employ. It's better to have too much material then to be scrambling to fill empty time. Also, I currently get bounced around between different groups of students at times, and that makes it difficult to remember names. 

I like the idea of taking notes when a student has a complaint. It would make them feel that they're being listened to and take seriously, as well as documenting the interaction should further steps be necessary.
