Get Your Students Hired
Comment on Kathleen O’Neil-Meyers's post: i agree; kahoot seems to be one of the most widely used methods snd students seems to engage.
I love using Kahoot as a learning tool for students as well as a game called "Swats That Term" for learning medical terminology, specifically.
I like the Secret Identity and the Term & definition exercises, especially as an “ice breaker” at the beginning if the course. This will also allow students from different groups to interact throughout the course.
I Comment on Kelly Penn's post: Could you try the “Throwing ball” in a discussion board? The ball could be a “call out” to another student
Retention of information is key to success. I plan to try the game Kahoot in my next class.
What fabulous ideas! I can see where it would help with other courses as well as medical term
There are many ways to engage a classroom with various activities to keep students attention.
Comment on Nichole Jarnagin's post: I have learned how to keep students engaged through learning activity. I saw how to turn learning into game and team interaction this producing long term memory retention.

Group activities are important to keep the group and each individual engaged in learning. Adding more "fun" to learning helps each student retain more information.
I think I will try all of these ideas during different lessons this year because it will keep things new and fresh for reviewing all the id and terminology that we use.
I'm going to try the index card matching activity today and the ball toss at the end, if we have time. Very excited to try these out!
