Learning by teaching

I agree with you all! Every time I teach a class, no matter what it is, I learn something new. As the world of health care changes daily, I like to provide time sensitive materials that are occurring during the class that I am teaching. For example, the other day while researching articles for a management course, I learned that physicians can now dismiss patients who will not adhere to getting their children immunized. Every day is a learning experience if you are an instructor! I was also once told that we should actually post something that is not true in a course discussion just to see if anyone will catch it, and point it out. If they do, we can use this as a "teachable moment" by showing we are human and can make mistakes. We can also discuss what the correct answer should be and why. Finally, it promotes attention to detail. Great discussion!
