The T-shirt demo of person's anatomy is very intereting. I would probably will use it.
I will incorporate the T shirt and sheet. These are great ideas!
T-shirts and shower caps with the anatomy can also be seen in models, charts and pictures. Story of life to teach CPr is all well. I try to have students IMAGE. IMAGINE you were walking and found a man on the ground. What is the first thing you would do?.) SHAKE the man! Maybe he fainted or is sleeping. 2.)Suppose he doesn’t wake up? Call 911 3.) Open airway-Is he breathing 4.) Next if he is not breathing check a pulse. No pulse 5.) etc.
I try to make the students image and think!
I learned that adding visual aids to your learning helps the students remember the subject matter. Adding visual aspects to your learning aids the process of teaching. As the saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words."
Using hard to forget props is an excellent method to increase retention of the steps of a process. Most learners use a variety of methods to remember important information and this is a great way to mesh those ways for them.
An effective memory anchor and for positive learning outcomes to occur is for educators to use acronyms.
Creative substitutions to help teach information
Get creative when teaching complicated or easily confusing information to enhance understanding. I particulary found having students simulate the blood flow thru the heart helpful.
Great creative ideas to reinforce learning.
I love the fact that we can use practical items to teach our students. Forexample, drawing the circulation of the heart on bed sheet. Then, have the students walk on it to show the circulation of the heart. I am learning so much practical things from this course.
I like the using visual and hands on learnig when teaching to my adult learners. I do like the Incrediable edible cell because for learning parts of the cell may be difficult for some students and this will make it more memorable. I have had students make osteon cakes in the past and they were both educational and delicious.
I like the idea of having students pick which blood cell type they want to be and travel through a make shift heart in teh classroom. It gives me ideas for having students be Venous blood, traveling through the heart, other students act like the valves coordinating the movement. Also for the students to travel to another part of the clasroom acting as the lungs where they drop off a blue ball and pick up a red one. A good activity to wake everyone up and would make a great visual.
Loved watching the students learn a skill, but not be acutley aware
In this section, students were taught to use creative methods to learn critical skills. It is very interactive and adds fun to the learning process such as using the t-shirt and post its to draw the location of various body parts.
I liked the sheet exercise for the heart
Great learning ideas to use at clinical I like the T-shirt idea
I ahve done the sheet exercise , it works well
I think I can use T-shirts, shower caps and adapt sheets with chalk on sidewalks to teach anatomy. Chalk on sidewalks also can be used to describe pathogenesis in Medical Microbiology and Pathophysiology. I also think that stories may be useful for classification of pathogens in Medical Micro and Pathophysiology and for teaching anatomical structures.
I have learned to make learning fun and interactive. This not only engages students but will help them critically think and remember!
