Get Your Students Hired
I really like the suggestions given in this course, especially the dots. I plan to use this method in my clinical rotation.
I plan to utilize the "event cards" suggestion with my upcoming clinical group as well as "staff surprises" (best and worst observed) - we will vote at end of term from all examples throughout term!
I like all these ideas though some are not doable due to number of patients, etc. Though I will definitely always use the staff surprises at post-conference.
I love the three dots, it is somewhat similar to our Clinical passport but this give us day to day picture of clinical skills acquired by each students.
I learned that "event cards" can provide critical-thinking scenarions allowing the isntructor to reinforce any weak areas if needed. I can make some "event cards" and give it to patients in lab courses where they are applying the content learned in the didactic course.
I like the gesture idea and will implement that. I also like the event card idea for slower days and the BINGO. This will help me
This module presented examples of creative learning activities that we could use in a clinical setting, to help students learn. I liked that there were a variety of examples available, for different students and different settings.
Patient bingo - for students who are shy, this will encourage them to interact with patients
Event cards - will help assess and test the students' critical thinking skills
Staff surprises - gives students oportunities to verbalize good and not so good experiences with staff
Gestures/signs - code between students and faculty to communicate in front of patients without upsetting the patients on embarassing the students
Dot on watch - reminds students what task need supervision and helps keep track of their progress
I found the ideas to be significantly informative and practical. I will attempt the "Dot method".

I learned different teaching practices and skills especially the dots in clinical tool.
I like the code gestures or words that the students should use for "stop". i used this with new staff when working in hosptal as the clinical educator.
Great examples of learning activities were noted. The bingo works well with groups in face to face, zoom sessions and hybrid to meet the student interaction. Another teaching tool utilized is Jeopardy and Kahoot for the active learning. All great information in this session.
This last leson had great ideas to try out during clinical instruction. I particularly liked the gestures, it is a way to make corrections without bringing attention to the student.
I learned many effective strategies to engage my classes in learning. I think this will help them to learn and have fun.
I will definitely be using the ideal with the dots in the clinical setting. Love this
Patient bingo is a great way to get students involved and to remind them of the skills that they need to be signed off on
I really liked the Event Cards and the Best/Worst observation for the day (Staff surprises). I also liked the hand gestures. Very applicable to real clinical situations. Thank you.
