10/04/12  (1340-1620)  OB lecture #2 - High Risk Pregnancies

Today was my second big lecture day.  I was still very nervous but it wasn't quite as bad as last week. It helped that I am familiar with the students and the setting.  I had lots of great feedback from the students.  Marla was able to read the students' feedback and also gave me suggestions for my next lecture. 

I feel that I was able to meet Objective #4 - Implement and evaluate a teaching module utilizing theories and principles of teaching/learning in the preparation and delivery of this lecture.  After reading all three chapters in the textbook, I researched some videos online that would help the students remember some of the information.  I used visual aids, pictures and graphs, as well as short video clips to help demonstrate concepts to students.  Students learn through observation but also through activities.  Students turned in their genograms today and Marla and I set Monday, 10/15 as a day when we are both going to grade this assignment.  I am feeling just a little more confidence and I hope that everything continues to go well.  I have had a great learning experience thus far!
