I'm going to try the index card matching activity today and the ball toss at the end, if we have time. Very excited to try these out!
It is actually easy to incorporate learning activities into a Medical Terminology lesson.
I actually loved all of the ideas. I think if I had to prioritize an order, it would be to do the ball toss just because of less time with preparation and they can be a bit more self directed and need to use more immediate recall. Then the next item in order of priority would be secret identity that would probably be implemented this next fall, however, I do hope to use even more in the future.
My students love Kahoots. They say it helps them learn and retain. However, I do not use them in class; if offer them as a resource for Self-Study.

Classroom games for content retention is a great idea. It also breaks up the ususally classroom instruction and provided increased engagement.
These are great suggestions for keeping students engaged while learning medical terminology
I inted to apply the question and answer relay race in the class.
I would love to use these, but as I am teaching an online course, I will need to modify. I think the idea of "throwing the ball" is a great idea to summarize the lesson of the day
The ball toss game is definintely something I'd like to implement with my class. I think it is a fun and exciting way to summarize what has been learned.
In this module, I learned different activities and methods of engaging the class, to help with retention of information.
I think the Secret Idenity Game would really help the nursing students with their open ended qestions. PLus it seems like a lively game that will keep them awake and learning during class.
I really like the Nerf ball game for a review of content towards the end of class. Once we go back to onsite classes I will implement this one! I've done the matching term and definition cards before with another class I've taught and I will tailor it to my new class once onsite.
i plan to use the ball, football, and baseball activities for student engagement. d
I will most likely try the Index Card Matching Activity first.
I am also interested in trying out the Name Tag Activity as well.
- I like the Secret Identity, as Medical Assistants, my students will need to learn how to ask Open-Ended questions when
- talking to patients about the type of pain, how long have they had it etc
I learned from this module that there are a few activities an instructor can incorporate into learning plan. Secret identity is the first activity to try with talkative-friendly groups. This gives them a chance to talk and mingle with each other.
I like secret ID because it can be used to teach different subject. I like it for teaching clinical and terminology. I think that this will engage students and also help to reinforce the information.
I will refer to this lesson periodically. Thank you!
I have learned from this module is that subliminal review is a great learning tool.
