Visual and hands-on
When I teach about equipment we use in the pharmacy, I like to always have a sample of the equipmnet so they can actually touch and get a feel for exactly what we are talking about.
Julia, thank you for sharing the insights you have gained from the course.

I agree, hands on is the best for many to learn how to truly gather the lesson. Instructing in A & P, learning the regions we would fill out note cards and then label each other. Hands on means we palpate each region. I will apply what I have learned here to include bones and more indepth about muscles!
Mohammad, if you use methods in both these modes, you will reach most of your students in a memorable way.

Visual aid and hands on is the best method for all
group of students. In this way they feel interested to learn , they actively participate
& retain the info & utilize in the real field.
Jo, thank you for sharing your approach. As often as possible, involve them with the content for reinforcement.

I teach medical coding and have found that if I do a short lecture and then have the students do an exercise relating to the lecture they learn faster and retain more.
I find that students in some of my classes must have hands on work to understand the concept behind what I am teaching. Some students can not just read and understand, they must see it, touch it and possibly perform the task.
It is amazing to see the faces of the students when I am lecturing on a new procedure. They look scared to death. Then we head into the lab to practice what they learned in the classroom and after a few attempts it all starts to come together for them. Lecture and hands-on definetly go side by side.
Sherrie, I think ever experienced teacher agrees with this belief.

Visuals are excellent to have in the classroom. This allows student to actual simulate the task before doing it on a real person.
I have found that hands on helps alot of the students, If they touch it they remember it!
ryan, I'm sure this allows the hands on people to touch and connect with appropriate equipment.
