Dear Students,
On my educational journey I have learned various strategies
for use in the classroom to help make learning more meaningful and interactive
for you. Prior to continuing my education,
I did not give considerable thought to
the possibilities of incorporating technology into the classroom. Although I believe traditional classrooms
lack many components such as collaboration, and engaging activities, I did not
know how to incorporate, or what to incorporate to make the learning experience more of a facilitative process that
uses various technological tools, which many of you use on a daily basis. After having completed a
course in nursing informatics, I feel empowered to help equip you with the
tools you will need for nursing at this present time.
When you return to the classroom for your second semester, I
am confident you will find that the objectives you must meet for the course
will have engaging content that motivates you to further your learning on any
given topic. More of our classroom time
will be on computer, and the smart board will be utilized for group activities. The goal is to allow you to create your own
initiative for building knowledge. The technology
can enable you to manipulate the information you will be acquiring in a manner
that accelerates both your understanding and the progression of critical
thinking skills. You will then have an opportunity to share your findings with
your classmates through a powerpoint presentation.
In the meantime, watch the following video and become inspired to do great things for yourself this coming semester!
When you finish watching the video, grab a cup of your
favorite beverage,
and read the about PDA's in nursing education. I am so excited to be able to offer this technology to you and would like each of you to familiarize yourself with this tool.
