The Shower Cap and sheet idea I will use for brain anatomy and the sheet for afferent and efferent nerve impulses. Also gets you thinking about breaking class up into two groups. Pain stimulus, afferent nerves, brain, efferent nerves, muscle action. Could make up a really interesting and fun activity.
This course makes learning fun. I really like the ideas given.
I love the examples of touring through the circulation of the heart and making cells with jello/candies
Great ideas-really like the T-shirts and flat sheets!
I like the idea of white t-shirts and drawing anatomy . It encourages creativeness and critical thinking.
I learned the "story of life" to teach CPR to my students wihout my students knowing what it is being done.
I love the t shirt idea and the shower cap idea!
Learned about some activities to consider as visual and kinestheric teaching activities, nice way to regain students' attention, and/or to get students to think in a new way.
Like the CPR and heimlich ideas
these are great ideas, i just wish there is a budget for some of these
Visual and kinesthetic activities are essential to the learners success.
I love the t-shirt, shower cap ideas
These are are great creative kinetic ideas to help with critical information.
I like the hands-on assignments. Students love to be engaged, so that I will use the t-shirt and shower cap. I teach Medical Terminology and feel this would be a fun exercise.
Utlizing items such as candies or other descriptors such as plato; to visually build a cell, organ system or body part. I also do rememer the water bottle with ballons to emphasize breathing in the lungs.
I believe it is more memorable for students to have activities that are outside of the traditional format, it is more likely that they will leave a lasting impression.
These are nice examples to utilize.
I love the idea of creative substitutions to help teach information. Having the students be hands-on and active during the lesson will help them grasp the information better
These were very creative. I loved the edible cell. We could do this with the kidney and lungs, too, with their various structures.
