I have my students do case studies and then we discuss them. I also review the case and ask questions...ie: why do you think this cancer patient needs frequent bronchoscopies...sort of like a "CSI" of medicine...
Real life application of med terms and other content assists the student in applying the content, even while still learning and reinforcing it. Using med terms just for fun is still reinforcement. Thanks, Linda.
I agree with presenting real life applications of what I am teaching. Med term can be utilized in documentation as well as note taking and "just for fun"!
Tricia, how do you use shaving cream to practice voabulary?
I try to create games such as memory, or jeopardy, or baseball, or use shaving cream to practice vocab. just some suggestions.
Any activity that allows a student to apply the content in a real way to their life is a way to get them invested. I would also suggest ED311 which offers more interactive ideas. Thanks for asking.
