Teaching Technologies in Nursing & the Health Professions

The book helps to guide faculty in making thoughtful, informed decisions on how and where to integrate technology into learning environments. A major feature of this book is the Integrated Learning Triangle for Teaching with Technologies, a faculty tool to help determine if and how specific technologies can promote student learning. Other important chapter pedagogy includes best teaching practices, teaching and learning self-assessment tools, useful tips for faculty such as “making teaching easier,” and reflective questions and activities for the reader.

Key Topics:

• Using cutting-edge technologies as tools for “active learning,” such as automated response systems, clickers, podcasts, blogs, wikis, web-based modules, and more
• Expanding faculty and student technology skills and information literacy-a critical competency in all nursing programs
• Using the Internet and digital videos to help bridge the classroom with the clinical setting
