Move from stagnate to.......... interactive teaching
Called to Care
Learning in the 21st century classroom is fun and exciting. Prior to this course, my professional goal was to become a clinical nursing educator at a local nursing college. Now, I am excited to use the student-centered teaching approaches I learned throughout this course in both the classroom and clinical setting. I am inspired to teach interactive nursing education which encompasses nursing informatics. As required by the federal government all patient record must be in the electronic form. As nursing educators we must prepare our students to be confident competent 21 st century technology successful nurses. Moving away from the boring projector style of lecture to the interactive form of group discussions, simulations, problem-based learning, role palying, blogs, and voki teaching is the required teaching method. This style contributes to the profession of nursing.
Future students of this course, I challange you to share the stuedent-centered approaches of education with your peers and nursing education faculty to include the use of student-centered learning in the nursing curriculum. We can make a difference in promoting the professionalism of nursing by perparing our students to meet the challanging demands of healthcare.

Hi Christie,
Very nice. It is true we have to challenge our students. Most of them are adult learners and are in school because they want to be and want to be productive and contributing members in society. We can challenge students by our innovative learning and teaching strategies such as we have experienced in this class. When students are not challenged that is when we see more drop outs and failures in school.
Christie,
Very inspiring and passionate! You are now a 21st Century Educator!
Christie,
You are so right,it is very important that we as educators become proficient in electronic medical records and the information technology that drives them. With the mandated electronic records, all students will have to be made familiar with them. If we think nurses "eat their young" now, it is going to be even worse if we do not make these students more techno savvy!
