Personal interaction& hands-on experience should be part of a nursing students requirements, in my opinion. Research to practice and learning adeptness in social skills, communication and assessment will strengthen foundations of nursing practice.@DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

I agree that learning online has enhanced my technology skills and strengthened the ability to communicate online more succinctly. Online classes creates opportunities due to flexible scheduling, as well enhancing student engagement and teaching knowledge. #DistEd534

[Pdrumm @Pdrumm4]

Online classes offer flexibility for a busy schedule, improves time management skills, and are usually more cost-effective. I have developed new technological skills in the online environment. #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

@RielJaime So true, thank for offering your input.

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

These popular online quiz, recall, and retrieval tools are beneficial for many nursing students, regardless of learning styles/differences. As an educator, would you select the tool that you you are more familiar with, or one that appeals more to your students?#DistEd534

[Kate Jones @KateJones_teach]

Here are some popular online quizzing tools for retrieval practice ... are there any others you would add? 💻🧠💭👍🏻

https://t.co/fgD6epoZKx. Sharing this free online training opportunity for virtual learning in Higher Education.The intent to share such comprehensive, focused sessions remotely, across disciplines and with best practices in mind may offer new perspectives and ideas. #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

This is an interesting concept and I have seen demonstrations of how it can increase recall, attendance, student participation, engagement, motivation, as well as interaction among learners and educators. Breaking traditional barriers will empower more learners.#DistEd534

[Haley Smith @HaleySm26337297]

@NurseCharly1 Gamification is a concept I have never heard of but the idea sounds very engaging for students. Often students get bored with studying and assignments and this adds some excitement to the learning experience. #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

This tool offers students the opportunity for learning through recall-noting increased attendance, student participation, engagement, motivation, as well as interactions. As an educator, do you utilize this tool and your students participation for formative assessment? #534DistEd

[Pdrumm @Pdrumm4]

Another tool Nurse Educators can use in learning in the online environment that makes learning fun and keeps students engaged. it can be used synchronously or asynchronously. #DistEd534

This presentation considers the whole student in context and offers lessons that facilitate ways to assess and nurture diverse learners - addressing the most effective design for assessing progress within differentiated learning environments. #DistEd534

[Pdrumm @Pdrumm4]

Excellent presentation for Nurse Educators to incorporate formative assessment into lessons that facilitate their student's learning in any educational environment (e. g., online learning, combination or hybrid, or face-to-face). #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

This article emphasizes key elements that will lead to a successful SGA. The focus on creating an online community and use if a predetermined software to collaborate in real time or asynchronously are just a couple of points included to set the tone for SGA success.#DistEd534

[Haley Smith @HaleySm26337297]

Small group activities (SGAs) are a great way to help meet course outcomes. This article discusses the aspects of SGAs that must be addressed and considered in the online learning setting. #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

Good article that considers the debate of Twitter effectiveness. It has enlightened me about the mindset for those who wish to intersect their area of expertise with an issue open for response, sharing, debate or further discourse at any level and across disciplines. #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

This class will offer an effective online platform and strategy for formative assessment. Since some students become engaged and have familiarity with this platform, does it enhance knowledge recall that translates into results differently depending on learning style? #DistEd534

[Pdrumm @Pdrumm4]

Future Nurse Educators in our class may be interested in a free webinar training offered on March 3. Learn how to use Kahoot for student formative assessment. #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

Hi Steve, thank you for sharing your experience with Microsoft Teams over Zoom. After looking at the differences based on your post-I'm going to utilize Microsoft teams in trial for an online, collaborative project. The ability to record and share docs is appealing. #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

Thank you for providing this resource as an effective tool that provides simple, yet critical tips that make developing breakout rooms less complex; adding tips that allow the design to engage participants so they understand and utilize them for their intended purpose.#DistEd534

[Pdrumm @Pdrumm4]

Future Nurse Educators in our class, this article offers tips for designing a successful breakout room that can be used in the online environment. #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

@RielJaime Hi Jaime, I have heard other educators who have rerouted their goals to a leadership direction. Each masters prepared RN that I know in education (like most other specialized nurses) are anxious to return to their specialty following the emergent COVID redeployments.#DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

There are many REMOTE trainings that bring together master practitioners across Higher Education. If you had the opportunity to see how they lead their classes online to learn best practices by discipline, pedagogy, blended learning would you attend online?

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

@SteveG16883702 Good question that has a complex answer. I think there are many contrasts between what students feel that they are getting vs. what administrators feel they are providing. The bottom line means different things; so, competency may also have differing interpretations. #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

This resource offers tips for teaching remotely and affirms the use of platforms like zoom to supplement clinical learning by Mardie Timken, MSN-Ed, RN. #DistEd534

@RielJaime I think that one of the differences in simulation versus escape rooms includes choices, purpose and presentation. Scenarios-themed and creatively adapted as a problem solving game to achieve the ultimate escape appeals to each leaner that was polled in our classes. #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

https://t.co/g1kupTyVZU Garwood (2020) presents a study affirming research that demonstrates the effectiveness of escape rooms to engage students and solicit active learning and critical thinking, as well as accentuating the importance of QSEN based knowledge. #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

I agree that integrating simulation videos is beneficial, especially when they may be accessed asynchronously or address topics that may be more challenging or more difficult for the learner to grasp. #DistEd534

[Jennifer @Jennifer30114]

Integrating Video Simulation Scenarios Into Online Nursing Instruction https://t.co/uFCoEBl2MU The most interesting classes I have taken involved simulated scenarios. You can repeat them as many times as you like and they are interactive! Schoolwork made fun! #DistEd534

[Sherry Romanoskie @SherryRomanosk2]

@Pdrumm4 I think that initially-some requirements were reduced-which ultimately decreased the quality of education in comparison to prior expectations and established grading. As an educator, lowering the cost may impact online maintenance, provision of resources and training. #DistEd534
