Computer literacy is required for any nursing student presently attending classes. Some are more skilled than others with the computers. With are  group settings we always have people who are willing to assist others . They also share their phone numbers in a group chat in case anyone needs assistance at home. It is so nice to see young people willing to help others, with all the terrible things going on in the world. 

Lifelong learning continues everyday. Not just for my students who are learnig but for me as well. With Covid appearing and lasting due to the many varients. I think more students will be studying on line for quite sometime.

Writing is important for Health Care Professionals. The students seem to be lacking in the basic skills of writing and spelling today when admitted into school.  I encourage them to check their spelling and grammer  prior to turning in any paper. Social Media does not help with all the slang it uses in spelling. 

Critical thinking is used in the classroom and everyday living. Encouraging students to brainstorm during class. Helps to build their skills and motivation. Enhancings their critical thinking skills for everyday use.

Motivation and caring for your students is extremely important. Showing enthusiasm when they have done a great job and empathy when they are having rough time. Sometimes just breaking it down to there level helps for the light bulb to go off upstairs. When they get it, you will see it immediately on there faces. So rewarding!

I think the idea about REFOCUS is a big reminder for all teacher about midway through the quarter. This helps us and our students to meet there goals.

To individualize  teaching to each student and make them feel special. Encouragement is a big way to get their confidence up.

I think the most important course help  i learned was. School and you maybe  the only support student has to rely on. This really stood out for where I teach. A lot of the students will sleep in their cars and look for housing or babysitters. They still continue to come to school. I am sure after sleeping in a car all night they did not get a good nights rest. Really enforces to listen and point them to places that can help

I have learned many new visual techniquesand ideas to stimulate my classroom. I think Draw a term would be a great visual game the students would have fun with and learn at the same time.

I learned many effective strategies to engage my classes in learning. I think this will help them to learn and have fun.
