Very good use of simulations to help many if us preparing for the virus better understand the spread of a highly contagious disease. It's a good way to explain to others, even our patients to help put their minds at ease. #prepping4thecorona

@AmandaJ75031078@Akoforngweadel Agreed. Many who devalue online course have bot had the opportunity to par take in one and reaps its benefits. Where else can you sip coffee, with you dog in your home while catching up on house work and still get a degree? Personally, I find I am more productive #disted534
@AmandaJ75031078 Todays top new story... many colleges are not allowing face to face classes to take place. In lieu they are offer same course but in online format. While it's good in theory, we saw you cant just switch so quickly, planning needs to be done. What are you're thoughts? #disted534
@leah_blake@AmandaJ75031078 Right there with you. I never thought I would find @Twitter useful to my learning, but now I see the value. My prior experience was not a well recieved as this round. #disted534
Awesome way to routine check in and see if material is being understood while allowing for periods interaction to keep the course fun and interactive #disted534
Use live polls in your next PowerPoint presentation to see if students are keeping up with the lecture. They can join by scanning a QR code or using a short code. #onlineteaching#highered @Slidoapp #sponsored#ad https://t.co/NncW7eZixJ
@deb_potter Another great webinar/podcast on #burnout is from #cedirect.
Really caught my attention and made me self reflect and pay more attention especially with all the influx of patients due to respiratory issues. I shared the link on my feed. #disted534
Interactive, fun, easy to use and has all different ways to connect. Journal sharing ir journal clubs can be very impersonal. #Flipgrid can help engage students, staff or whomever your audience is. Great avenue to use when looking for alternatives in online forum #disted534
#TeachingTip "Using Flipgrid as an Alternative to Journals During DNP Practicum Experiences" Journaling is a low-tech, outdated assessment method. To increase student engagement during practicum experiences faculty should consider using an online forum. https://t.co/BsWnJbDUZC
@leah_blake Twitter may not serve to be right for all classes. Educators need to look at course content and select media that fit appropriately to ensure students are meeting outcomes. Not all social media work for all subjects. Twitter is a great alternative to discussion boards #disted534
@deb_potter 2yrs to decide what track,5yrs to say I'm ready, and now I am down to my last 4 classes about 2 yrs later. My employer has been helping but has all who are pursuing advancements in education on fixed budget for a year. Takes longer for students to complete degrees. #disted534
@leah_blake Very true. Self reflection is a great way to see how to make even the smallest improvement to engage more with students. Looking at approach, communication effectiveness and sharing personal experiences make the educator more relatable and improves learning outcomes #disted534
This is a hit topic in healthcare as of late, what with burnout and compassion fatigue being in the forefront. I attended a conference and one topic was this. Very eye opening #disted534#Mindfulness#WILS
"Mindfulness training reduces the emotional burden and hence levels of burnout for #nurses
Have you done #mindfulness training? What was its impact? #nurseswhotweet Learn more https://t.co/opKPTYq5DG"
Any nurse relate to this by nursing student Francesca Hufton?
In her column 'Donβt neglect your #mentalhealth β itβs time to be kind to yourself' @Chescamarina says training can take its toll, so learn techniques to improve your mood & performance.

@deb_potter Agreed. A big reason many students dont like #groupwork in online classesis because its cumbersome and students dont have as much time to devote due to #WorkLifeBalance. Educators can make it easier by having ice breakers and assigning work early to help relieve stress #DistEd534
@AmandaJ75031078 It's amazing as you progress through your education just how much you change in terms of you abilities, your wealth of knowledge and how you prefer to learn certain topics #disted534
Accessibility and ease of that is a key factor along with student and faculty support options to help with accessibility are so under rated in how much they truly effect quality education especially in the distance format #disted534

Very interesting take on #barriers to advancing and improving healthcare. While staff see this simple one more thing to do task, it has so much potential of preventing #HCAP. Whay are thoughts to reaching frontline staff to educate about new processes #disted534

@deb_potter Great points. Feedback should also be individualized. Each student should receive feedback based off their work & educators should make a point to individualize specifics to help establish mutual respect and a meaningful connection between them. #disted534#individualizelearning
