ED310 Med Term learning can be fun

This course had some good activities to use for making learning medical terminology fun. I had already been using many of the suggested learning activities so it served to reinforce my current teaching methods. I do not reserve the activities solely for Medical Terminology, but have used the same sort of activities in other courses. I have also used Jeopardy, Hangman, and "Who Wants to be a Marvelous MA"(patterned after Who Wants to be a Millionaire"). IF students still struggle with the spelling of medical terminology- I fall back on the age-old practice of writing a word ten times (or more) in addition to using the flash cards.

I especially liked the baseball activity and the Mystery weekly term. I plan to implement them ASAP. I have always used activities to get my points across, especially in Med Term.

I thought a lot of the activities looked like something my classes would enjoy. I do not teach Med Term this Quarter, but I am teaching A&P. Students can find this material hard to absorb and the long evening lectures need something to help keep students involved.
