I learned a multitude of games to peak interest in my classroom and fill up time. I think the ball toss would be a good game . Everyone would be standing and they can't be falling to sleep in the class. 

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.

Medical terminology is something I do everyday when I teaching. Knowing the average population learns 80% better by visualizing the terminolgy makes sense. Alot of times the students have no idea what I am talking about. Breaking the friends up makes total sense to learn. It cuts down on the talking and they get to know other people in the class. We have 10 weeks this quarter and one girl did not know another girls name until the other night. This is week 9 of our class!  I think that's pretty sad.

I learned the differnce  between learning prefernce and learning challenge. Providing instructional variation can assist the students to succeed in school if they have a learning challege .   

In "English Only",", I found it very interesting in the  study that bilingual children matured earlier, are more comfortable with diversity, exibit social adaptability, and identify with ethnic groups. If the study shows this . Why are there not more shools starting children at a younger age being bilingual in the United States?

This brought home the concept to know your student culture in order to present your coarse material effectively. They will better understand the concepts if you are coming from their point of learning.

I have learned to try and learn all the students names. This will be quite a task since I work in a nursing open lab. I have every student from every class in the school come to the lab. This is alot of students and they are always coming and going. Trying to individualize their educational needs by getting to know them is going to be a journey. 

General overview of rules. Checks and balances in schools to prevent people from from getting excess money for jobs. 

This was a good general review. I am happy there are benefits that are veterans. I hope they are aware of them.

Many rules and regulations to working at pos-tsecondary school. These laws are there to protect individuals and set guidelines for schools.
