Get Your Students Hired
Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.
Work base learning is a fantastic opportunity for students to put what they have learned in the classroom to work in real life situations. How do you use work base learning with healthcare careers? Do you have local facilities that are willing to let students have this opportunity?
This course is a great way to supplement any Medical Terminology textbook/workbook. It is engaging, interactive, and you'll achieve better student understanding and outcomes.

I liked the idea of the dots on the students' watches. The red dot means to get instructor oversight, with the other dots reminding the students of other steps. I teach Radiology for the Dental Hygienist, and there are times they need to have the instructor come and check their first two images. That could be our red dot. There is always the lead vest, which at times gets forgotten. There could be a dot for that. A very subtle way of remembering and having the instructor know where they are in their appointment.
We have found using concept mapping is a great way to help the students understand what they've learned in theory and what they see in clinicals. It really helps the light bulb gooff as it starts to make more sense!
When I see that my class is losing energy and motivation, and morale is beginning to drop, this is when I implement team building strategies and learning activities ( a few of which have been described in this class). It works!! Teambuilding is about providing the skills and training and resources that your students need, so that they can work in harmony. When this is achieved students will have a clear purpose, such as improving a certain skill (ie medical terminology). I guess, I am trying to say that peer work is awesome!
I love the idea of the secret identity game! It seems like a great way to get the studnts involved with eachother and to introduce the power of open ended questions.
