@MXCfoundation My guess is 325.

@IamStevenT Help this 80’s girl find the official video for Rag Doll. Love that song and the video was rocking. I just want her to see what I loved when I was her age. We are just rocking Galentines tonight from Holden Beach, NC.

@asurachel1 Sure! And best of all they are free. #DistEd534

I love these Lippincott Webinairs. I used them for my clinical experience hours for this class. #DistEd534

@asurachel1 The school that I am working with has a new building opening next fall. They have new video equipment and a viewing area. The idea is to have one group acting out and a second group that would critique whether the action group hit critical elements. #DistEd534.

I am considering a capstone project on simulation using video enactments,then students must critique the performance. I have learned so much about simulation and distance education in my class and with research. #DistEd534. https://t.co/CTuX6tlqtM

@asurachel1 @AndreaKors I chose American Sentinel initially for my BSN class of 2015! I liked the rolling start dates and I was in a hurry to start. I stayed for my MSN because of the quality of the program. I am expecting to graduate this semester and I cannot wait. #DistEd534.

@JordanKarlovich I have used live polls and live quizzes during continuing education events as a participant. I would love to add those to my teaching projects. It broke the class up and made us participate. #DistEd534

@MegsRNC I like flipgrid, and I believe we had our own personal discussions while participating in the voice thread discussions. This is a tool I am interested is using in the future. #DistEd534

[Sandra Williard @SandraWilliard]

This article discusses how to engage students emotionally, promote autonomy and competence. Students are more likely to successfully complete the program if they are engaged. We had personal engagement through our use of voice thread. #DistEd534. https://t.co/amQ4NKOotq

[Sandra Williard @SandraWilliard]

This article is about using Flipgrid to engage students in online discussions. It allows discussion to be more personal with video and audio. This concept is very similar to our use of voice thread. #DistEd534. https://t.co/BziSBe8orz

[Sandra Williard @SandraWilliard]

This article shows that distance education can be just as effective as traditional class room learning with equal test scores, improved student satisfaction and increased confidence and sense of accomplishment. #DistEd534. https://t.co/67t5XyAUmw

[Sandra Williard @SandraWilliard]

Google+ offers a way to engage students, present material to encourage critical thinking as well as allowing professors to have a personal presence. I first learned this from our discussion posts and loved it. #DistEd534. https://t.co/Dc1NvUHDzN

[Sandra Williard @SandraWilliard]

After reviewing this article in the ASU library, I learned both how using social media can help engage students,but also tempt them to misuse social media to an extent that may jeopardize their future career. #DistEd534 https://t.co/lfXhO6KJKZ

[Sandra Williard @SandraWilliard]

This is a good research article that compared high fidelity simulation with actual clinical placement. The results showed many students who were positively impacted by the exercises, a few did not like it and others held a bad attitude. #DistEd534. https://t.co/5s25s6lIkx

@leah_blake I am 53 years old and graduated with my ADN in 1994. I loved to write notes well enough to teach and bought books of NCLEX review questions to study. I am fascinated by all the apps and tutoring sites that explain concepts using cartoon graphics and acronyms. Love it! #DistEd534

[Sandra Williard @SandraWilliard]

@GaromaLamessa I missed the poll but I agree there is no way. I barely manage with online classes as much as I have going on with my adult children and other family responsibilities and trying to teach as a new clinical instructor. I am so ready to graduate. #DistEd534

[Sandra Williard @SandraWilliard]

I finished my BSN at ASU in 2015 and clinical hours were not required, now they are. So many schools offer BSN with community clinical experiences and this one requires in person attendance in the form of a brief residency. There are many ways of structuring clinical hours.

[westernsydusonm @westernsydusonm]

70 students from the WSU Online Bachelor of Nursing degree finished their five day residential school on Sunday with engaging activities using medium and high fidelity simulation, as well as learning how to conduct a urinalysis, safely lift a patient and perform CPR. #wsusonm

[Sandra Williard @SandraWilliard]

I did my fist paper in N537 on how to improve enrollment in the community college setting. I can see that 4 year schools in NC are trying to increase enrollment with enhancing distance education. #DistEd534.

[NES Professor @NES_Professor]

My understanding of part of the Chancellor’s talk today: The people of eastern NC haven’t been having enough babies in recent years to produce population growth that would sustain growth at ECU. Therefore, we need to focus on distance education for non-traditional adult students.

[Sandra Williard @SandraWilliard]

Lipincott offers opportunity for clinical experiences by simulation. I think this would be so much better than shadowing a nurse in person. It ensures a consistent experience for the student. #DistEd534. https://t.co/IuzrlUWiIE
