3 Thursday, April 25th Pre-Conference Session Description Test Writing Workshop, Gabe Romero/Rachael Rosen/Mike Bowen 4 Hours PowerPoint, Beyond the Bullet Point Workshop, John Dillon In this session we will show you how you can use many of the tools within PowerPoint 2010 to help make your presentation more visually appealing and to avoid the common PowerPoint look. During this 4 hour session we will show you many tips and tricks to enhance you presentation including how to make your own clip art using your own photos and drawing tools. As part of this session you will see how you can shoot your own photos and how to edit them in PowerPoint and remove backgrounds. In addition we will look at how you can use text as a visual element and ways to break the Bullet Point habit. This will be a-hands on session so bring your computer and be prepared to play and learn. As part of this session, we will perform a Presentation Makeover using a few presentations from the attendees. 4 Hours What you will need for this session: 1. A laptop. This is a hands-on session. 2. PowerPoint 2010 or PowerPoint 2013 (if you do not have it yet, download and install it prior to the conference and use the 30 day trial). 3. You will need to have some basic understanding on how to use PowerPoint. 4. Optional, bring a digital camera. You will learn how to set up a basic photo shoot to create photos that will be easier to edit. 5. If you have a presentation you want to volunteer for our Presentation Make Over session, make sure you bring it. Sessions Cadaver Lab (Group 1), Dr. Tony Winehouse 1.5 Hour Moulage Tips & Tricks, John Dillon In this session we will show you the basics of using makeup and how to do it quickly. You will learn how to create injuries like bruises, lacerations, burns, basic impaled injuries plus a lot more. When we say quickly, we mean just that, once you understand the basics, most of what you learn can be done in 5-10 minutes or less. Be prepared to cause some injuries in this session because it will be hands on. You will get to practice what you learn. All supplies will be provided for the session. 1.5 Hour Session Friday, April 26th Conference Session Description Teaching Without Lecturing, Heather Davis We all know that lecturing is the least effective method of delivering information to students. We know that people remember as little as 10% of what we say. So why do we all do it? Because it may be

4 ineffective, but it sure is effi cient! Come learn how to replace your lectures with classroom activities, discussion and workgroups that do not take more class time and do yield better educational results as evidenced by better student evaluations, longer retention of information, and knowledge at a higher level of the cognitive domain. 50 Minutes Stress Exposure Training (SET), Scott Tommek EMS providers as do other 1st responders operate in timestressed, rapidly changing dynamic environments where weather extremes, light, noise, demands of others, fear of being injured, and other stressors signifi cantly impact performance or lack thereof. Most EMS CME s, training ourses, and programs do not use or integrate stress exposure training into their courses or programs. Then, we often wonder why did a provider or team not perform as well as we had hoped or, failed at multiple intubation, IV, or IO attempts, could not recall how a piece of equipment worked, or missed calculated a medication dosage. Often, the fi rst opportunity for EMT s and paramedics to experience operational stressors is during clinicals or their fi rst day working in the fi eld. Stress exposure training can easily be ncorporated into CME sessions, courses, or programs. This ession will look at what SET is, how to select and develop it for your class or program, and the benefi ts it offers to the EMS provider. 50 Minutes Same Topic, New Audience, Ken Adams This will cover tips and ways of presenting the same aterial to different skill levels. Often times we present the information in the same way to every group of individuals, not taking into account our audiences skill level or back ground. The most simple concept of is the scene safe? takes on a whole different meaning when you are talking to a group of fi rst responders who happen to be Sherriff deputies. 50 Minutes 1st Round Table Discussion 20 Minutes Per Session Track 1: Academic Remediation, Chris Caulkins Have you ever had a student that wasn t performing to expectations? During this session an algorithm for troubleshooting barriers to learning will be presented. Topics covered include identifi cation of the issue, information gathering techniques, development of an action plan, documentation, and postintervention follow-up. Track 2: Attention Defi cit Disorder, Tia Radant We will defi ne Attention Defi cit Disorder and how it may impact your EMS classroom. Learn strategies to help students who identify as ADD while maintaining high academic standards for all students. Track 3: Transition to the National Education Standards, Brad Wright/Gabe Romero Track 4: I will take Teaching for 500, Alex. Using Games to Teach. John Dillon Are your trainees really paying attention? The answer to that question is critical to the success of any training session. This presentation will explore the use of games to engage, motivate and energize your trainees. We ll address how you can enhance your training through the use of a game, and show you how games can be an effective teaching tool to introduce or review any topic. We ll cover some simple guidelines for game use, and provide warnings of common issues. This session will

5 show you how you can use a game to teach those hard to teach topics more effectively to just about any audience and topic. John will show you through actual examples how he has used games to effectively deliver a variety of topics to replace a traditional PowerPoint presentation. You will walk away from this session with some techniques you can use right away. 2nd Round Table Discussion 20 Minutes Per Session Track 1: National EMS Educator Update and Q&A, Scott Bourn Open Forum Track 2: New BLS (CPR) Curriculum and How to Implement It, Kim Harkins A standardized training that is cost and time effective that your training organization can easily adapt to meet your community needs. Track 3: Fisdap Tips and Tricks, Rachael Rosen Track 4: Community Paramedic In Minnesota, Joan Mellor Overview of efforts in Minnesota: what s next and how it may impact new EMS graduates. The Role of EMS Educators in the Evolution of Healthcare and EMS, Scott Bourn 20th Century Learner meet 20th Century Instructor, Brad Wright Today s learner is adept at the use of technology as a means of learning yet, many educators still refer to lecture and use PPT. Plus, EMS Education has many skills that show application of knowledge. Can these skills be practiced/assessed in a virtual classroom? In this interactive presentation explore different uses of technology to both enhance and supplant some classroom time. Please being examples of technology that you use in your classroom. 50 Minutes Johnny and Roy meet Crocodile Dundee: EMS in the land down under., Dave Page The Australian EMS system has much to teach us. This interactive presentation will explore some common challenges and different ways in which our Aussie counterparts have solved them. Technology willing, we will include a live feed from EMS professionals in Australia for a Question/Answer session. 50 Minutes Why should you CARES? Lucinda Klann The Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) can provide agencies with quality improvement data how can educators use that to improve curriculum, patient outcomes and to engage your students in the benefi ts of research. 50 Minutes Does Education Improve Patient Care? Scott Bourn 50 Minutes Handheld Wizardry: Integrating Smartphones and Tablet Devices into EMS Education, Greg Friese Most EMT and paramedic students are arriving at class with a smartphone or tablet that they use to stay in touch with friends, family, and social networks. They use these devices to consume popular

6 media, fi nd and research references, and to upload their own multimedia content about their work, academic, and personal experiences. Instead of banning these devices from the classroom or workplace this session will focus on opportunities to integrate mobile devices into classroom, lab, and clinical experiences. The presenter will share and demonstrate resources, software programs, apps, and best practices with the audience. The audience will participate in the session using their handheld devices and have opportunities to share techniques that are working in their programs and discuss the risks and benefi ts of integrating mobile technology into EMS education. 50 Minutes Tips and tricks to conduct online Grand Rounds, Lynn White Psyching Students Up for Success: The Psychology of Motivation and Performance, Heather Davis Everything we do as educators either contributes to excellence among our students or tears it down. We wish students wanted to work harder and wanted to be the best. They do want to! This session will make sense of the science behind self-effi cacy, self-esteem, and human motivation and demonstrate how that research can be applied to our classrooms. Many of the techniques behind peak performance are very easy to implement. Give your students a fi ghting chance at success and even greatness! After all, each one of them is a refl ection of us! 50 Minutes Teaching Thinking, Scott Tomek We often here in the EMS community, we need to develop their critical thinking skills but, before we can develop that, we need to develop their thinking skills, which, will ultimately assist in their development of critical thinking. Thinking is a process where an individual starts with a simple skill or concept, which serves as the foundation for the development of higher order thinking and doing. As Bloom describes, fi rst you remembering how to do something, then understanding why you do it, and fi nally you understand how to apply and evaluate it. For example, controlling bleeding with direct pressure and elevation, then moving the student to a situation where elevation is not possible or the student has two uncontrollable bleeds. Not only does this develop their thinking skills, it also lays the foundation and begins to develop the students or providers ability to critically think. This session will look at how you can develop thinking skills into your course using Bloom s Taxonomy, but also how to improve your students thinking quality. 50 Minutes The Science of Resuscitation from Research to Practice: Top Ten Things EMS Educators need to know. Dr. Demetri Yannopoulos Research and technology create a constant change in cardiac arrest care. Educators can set the tone for continued learning and motivation to improve patient care. 50 Minutes
