After nearly 8 weeks of classroom job training, the mere sight of a PowerPoint presentation makes me want to vomit. I'm starting to see that they are often crutch devices for poor speaking/instruction skills.
I am tasked with teaching two classes next month for an "Advanced First Responder" (EMT without NPAs/OPAs and oxygen as only drug) course... Neuro and ortho trauma, and chest/abd trauma. I have become extremely reluctant to even use PowerPoint at all.
I'm looking for fun, interactive, engaging and creative solutions that appeal to a variety of learning styles. In the past I've had success with Diabetes Jeopardy (losers had to consume a tube of nasty lemon glucose) and demonstrating "blood loss" with various amounts of water with red food dye on t-shirts and in puddles and such.
I'm thinking of doing Trauma Pictionary and Catch Phrase this year... any other ideas?
