The resource I posted on the class wiki is an interactive anatomy and physiology resource to help reinforce concepts taught related to anatomy. In a field where anatomy is a primary focus and is the base for all further learning it is important students grasp these concepts rather firmly. Creating this strong foundation will help them to be successful as information becomes more complex. This resource provides interactive models for learning muscular anatomy (such as the origin, insertion and action of a muscle) and provides animation. Each section also has a review and quiz function that will assist in retention. Slides can be printed for further review. I plan to use this resource as a place to refer students for individual review and learning. It is also my belief that being exposed to information in a variety of methods (hands-on, visual, read, written) increases comprehension and retention, therefore I would encourage students to utilize this resource along with several others.
The video I included is from YouTube, a student has given Lady Gaga's Poker Face a 'facelift' and used it to put cranial nerves into song. Using song to memorize cranial nerves along with the mnemonic given may be helpful to a variety of different learners. Recently, as concussion and evaluation have received so much attention in the sports medicine and general sports communities learning these basic concepts will become more and more important to sports medicine professionals. Finding effective ways to teach this information will only help to increase awareness in a growing body of knowledge.
