This week has been a fast paced week in both my classes with projects due and discussion forums. I am finding myself behind and hope everyone is forgiving. Activity 3 and 4 in Bonk and Zhang (2008) are activities titled displaying and doing which I have actually enjoyed putting together with Janine.
In AA3 (a) we chose a YouTube Video for students to view. This video is produced by senior level students depicting a disease process and/or nursing interventions. Students are then asked to answer questions regarding the presentation in the YouTube Video in a comment box. This produces critical thinking which covers the doing phase of the R2D2 Model in Bonk and Zhang (2008). All of this is the Constructivism concept under the Cognitive Theory.
Also in AA3 (b) we have students developing a concept map based on a case scenario. This again is relates to the Cognitive Theory. Another AA4 activity will be a discussion forum titled Students Mentoring Students. Each discussion forum will be labeled according to possible need. Ie: nursing process. Level 1 students will be able to ask questions regarding the nursing process and assigned senior level students will be assigned to answer. Faculty will be monitoring and facilitating questions as needed.
Janine and I have begun building our site on PBWorks and have thoroughly enjoyed it. We look forward to working more on it this next week.
Suzanne, I am so glad that we are both enjoying working on this project and hope that we will be able to present it later to our school for consideration in the future! I am glad you gave a bit more detail than me on your blog about our design. I appreciate you!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I appreciate you too. I think our site has potential and I look forward to working on it after the semester is over. I wonder if Dr. Ge would mind us contacting her periodically for advise.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you and Janine are working hard on your project; it sounds great and I can't wait to see the final product! I have been working on mine as well (little bits here and there); the final weeks are proving to be very time consuming for me! I think it is a good idea to use senior nursing students to role play on the videos and then have Level 1 students discuss and evaluate; this way, all students are building knowledge.
Great job,
Karin Smith
