Gadgets

I learned how to add gadgets to my blog!  How fun!  Now I'm feeling a little more up to par....

Comments

I just glanced through the comments on my blog.  I hope we don't disappoint anyone.  Our presentation is over the method of using case study in educating on the importance of the hand-off tool.  Our wiki page has references for hand-off tools, but we did not create our own.  We are using a case study in which the hand-off tool failed.  By using this method our intent is to educate on the importance of using the hand-off tool correctly.

In Review...

I have been reading other blogs tonight and found mine to be sorely lacking.  There are some very creative people in our class!  I enjoyed the voki's that people put on their blogs.  I was able to get a link to open to a voki on our wiki page but did not try to get it on to my blog page.  I have never done a blog before.  I have found that  it's fun and easy!  The biggest thing that I have learned from this assignment is the use of technology.  I don't think of utilizing these various technological methods in teaching as it was not available when I was in school.  However, students today expect this and we need to know what it out there and on the horizon.

Our presentation is this week and I published our power point and references to the discussion board.  I feel pretty confident in presenting this method as I have been using it in my teaching practicum with the second degree students.  In my literature review I discovered that the method of case study in education spans across the educational fields and its origin actually stems from the Harvard school of business.

The presentation

This weekend I have been putting together the notes for our presentation.  In reviewing the articles I pulled I discovered that problem based learning and case method study teaching are two separate techniques.  I will be interested to hear from the group who is presenting the problem based teaching method.  I have had fun playing with our power point slides as well.  They are simple but the animation helps to polish the show!  It's hard to believe that we only have this next month before another semester is gone.  I am taking my teaching practicum course concurrently and the two courses together have complemented each other well.

Okay, I hope this works....  Here is the link to our wiki page

Case Study Presentation

Good evening!  Rhonda and I joined forces to present the method of teaching through case studies.  The issue of utilizing a hand-off tool for report when transferring patients within the hospital was a topic that was being discussed at the hospital where she works.  She had some articles that had been brought up for discussion that we were able to incorporate into our project.  Rhonda incorporated a video for the visual learner, and I had fun creating a Voki to introduce our page!  I wanted to provide a universal hand-off tool that could be viewed on the page.  This could either be copied or used as a starting point to futher develop a more personalized hand-off tool.  I then looked to see what joint commission had to say on the matter as this would be an important part of what to look for when developing this tool.  The wiki page turned out better than I expected.  I hope that others find it helpful and resourceful.
