NEW WAYS TO LEARN
Encouraging students to develope songs, acronyms or poems are great ways for them to learn skill sets and anatomy. Medical students benefit more from exercises like these because they really associate with that kind type of learning style.
It works great!
Barbara, thank you for sharing your positve results with this method.

This non-traditional way of teaching is very captivating. Why, you may ask? It captures the student's attention immediately. As a result, your students are actively participating as well as learning! It's a win win in my book!
I love this way of teaching, the students feel more involved and they have creative freedom. We can even make them demonstrate their song infront of their peers.
Noe, because the method is so unusual, students remember them much better than lecture.

I think this is a great way for learning, being very interactive and motivating
I truly believe in acronyms. I still remember the one I learned 35 years ago in nursing school. Acronyms and songs are not only easier to remember, but are fun at the same time. They grab the student's attention, while making the instructor think in new ways.
Joanne, you know these work. That validates why we should use them.
