My Curated Collection of Introductory Healthcare Resources

I have to admit it: this class has pushed me far beyond my comfort zone. As far as my technology skills? Let me just say that last semester, I learned to try even if I did not believe that I could accomplish the task. And I am so grateful for the opportunity to take the EME classes and keep learning.

For our newest task, I decided to create a curated collection of resources that deal with all those topics that are at the core of introductory healthcare classes. Perhaps you are thinking, "Why would I be interested?" If for no other reason, than out of curiosity, I would suggest that you take a moment, scroll through, and pick one that SOUNDS intriguing. I promise, they are all under five minutes, unless you choose to go down the rabbit hole!

Among the resources, you will find a job aid that I created for my students to help them remember the basics. See, if you can wash your hands like a nurse. Naturally, I own the rights to this resource.

Then, there is a set of four YouTube videos. Since they are linked to YouTube, they are published under the standard YouTube license. 

The last of my resources is the link to the Florida Department of Health. Let me just say: There is more than meets the eye. You can find plentiful information about diseases and conditions, immunizations, and emergency preparedness. No formal copyright license is required to link to a state agency website.

    I watched " The Chain of Infection" video. I am pretty good at washing my hands; however, I have upped my game since COVID. I keep hand sanitizer with me, and I'm more careful around the elderly and others who are more susceptible or at risk of germ transmission.

    You created the job aids for your students? That sounds awesome! :) I share my IG account for the assignment too. It might be fun! https://www.instagram.com/jueun.shin/

Can Digital Badges Usher in a New Era of Adult Education?

If you are interested in implementing micro-credentials in your teaching, be sure to read this article by Dennen, Arslan, and Bong (2024), in which the authors discuss the implementation process of micro-learning challenges at a large public university in the United States and their subsequent findings. In short, microlearning is a way of enabling a learner (student) to self-direct their learning through accomplishing small-scale educational challenges, which then earn them digital badges.  One of the findings was the fact that those students who earned their badges did so because of their educational, rather than "bragging" value. Additionally, because micro-challenges were optional, only a portion of students (about 21%) achieved digital badges.  As a teacher of IET (Integrated Education and Training) Introduction to Healthcare, I can see potential in using micro-challenges in adult workforce education. As the authors state, students recognized that by accomplishing micro-...

Blogging as a Low-Stakes Writing Tool in Adult Esol Classroom

Writing is traditionally the least enjoyed part of adult English classes. While much of the time is devoted to listening and reading skills, and some, although not enough, to speaking, writing is often left neglected. However, writing is more than just a mechanical stringing of words into sentences, which often creates anxiety. It supports critical thinking and problem-solving skills, grammar and spelling development, and metalinguistic awareness.  Most adult learners experience language writing anxiety even when they type a sentence in a chat box. The fear of making mistakes can be paralyzing for some students. The irony is that their desire to be perfect too quickly often slows their learning trajectory. If we want to lower our students' affective filter, they must experience low-stakes practice on a regular basis.   Blogging seems to be one of the least threatening solutions to the problem of teaching writing. First, it offers learners greater control over thei...

What does an Online ESOL Teacher Teach?

A couple of years ago, I would not have believed that I would enjoy being an online ESOL teacher. Sharing a physical classroom space used to be the ultimate energizing experience for me. But we cannot have it all, and my family's situation required a move. So we moved, and I moved my job with me. Within a few weeks, I became an online worker, and I created my routine. In a month, synchronous online teaching became my second nature. What I could hardly ever imagine began to take shape: my unique online teacher persona.   An online teacher must develop new skills, attitudes about teaching, and habits pertaining to class structure and preparation. While in the traditional classroom, learners interact with those present in the room, bound by four walls, online learners connect from various locations (nodes) to create a virtual place called a "classroom." The teacher's role is to help focus the networked learners' attention on the topic and support their class presence...
