For my students, hands on is a great tool. I also use power point and I try to incorporate as many pictures as possible.
Clicker are great involvement tools.
My students seemed to like the powerpoint handouts and I incorporated questions along the way. This year I am going to add eclicker and see how successful that is.
Thanks for your strategy, Sandra!
Visual learning has proved to be a fast pace way of achieving our retention goal. I use power point with question between slides on the subject matter I am trying to convey.
If you show slides only you lose some of your students but a quiz on what has been shown works to keep the class on it toes. This is done on a team basis. Divide the class in teams and test retention.
The visual memory married to the kinesthetic action of doing is a great double strategy.
