In reviewing our presentation and the actual jeopardy game, we had to take the time to fine tune everything. Joellan spent a lot of time gathering additional pictures and images to plug into our game. Some of the questions are a little tricky so you have to read the posted articles in order to know the correct answer. So, we thought that adding some images with the questions could make the challenge less intimidating.
The goal, with any game, is for the learners to have fun and feel comfortable participating. Joellan delivered and we have a variety of clever images to go into the game presentation. I fine tuned our learning objectives for our presentation with the focus on games as an instructional method.
Although we have a lot of information on CVC sites and the care of CVCs, the purpose of this exercise is the exploration and utilization of the instructional method. Everything seems to be ready to go. We still have another week before our presentation, but we are now prepared and can shift our focus to the delivery of the presentation itself. There is some healthy anxiety between us both as to the technology. Our game for demonstration is interactive and includes audio. We're confident that our plan A, B, & C will work out as far as the delivery, but with technology, there is always the possibility that it can all go wrong at a moment's notice. This may be the point of this assignment.
Although we are both in the administration program, we both will be in a position to educate or present information to our health care professional peers. Preparation is key. We are looking forward to our presentation and hope the class will have fun with it. Joellan found a really cool game for all to participate. We put much thought into it and it is our goal that it will be both educational and a means to further develop our commrodary as nursing students and future nursing leaders.
