This is the second live recorded episode of the EMSEduCast from the ZOLL podcasting studio at EMS World Expo. We had a great conversation wtih Dan Limmer of EMTReview.com, Mic Gunderson of IPS, and Bruce Walz of UMBC and NAEMSE. We first talked about the National Association of EMS Educators and why educators should belong. Remember the deadline for NAEMSE Symposium 2011 presentations is November 15. You can also visit NAEMSE.org to learn about the Instructor Training Program.

Next we moved to a discussion of books. All of the guests have recently published books:

This was a great segue to talk about the process for educators to get involved in the textbook writing process. The book, The Brand You 50 : Or : Fifty Ways to Transform Yourself from an ‘Employee’ into a Brand That Shouts Distinction, Commitment, and Passion!
, was recommended as a must read.

We next moved to mobile computing technology and use of smartphone apps for education and review. Dan Limmer is now creating apps for EMS students and professionals.

The show ended with a surprise visit from Rick Kendrick, creator of many innovative EMS products. Rick’s products are distributed by Rapid Deployment Products.

To mark the close of the Spring semester of year two of the EMSEduCast we asked Chris Le Baudour to lead the conversation about saying goodbye to a finishing EMT or paramedic class and to discuss using the summer to reflect and recharge. Chris is a long-time EMS educator, author of six EMT textbooks, frequent presenter at EMS conferences, and a board member of the National Association of EMS Educators. Chris talked about his strategies to wrap-up an EMT class, stay connected with his students through email and class groups, and how he relates to different types of students. Central to Chris’ techniques is a strong commitment to teaching and leading in the affective domain.

We also discussed the importance of schools having a connection with alumni for student recruitment, instructor assistants, and for the pride that comes from knowing the great things former students are accomplishing as EMS professionals. We discussed how a learning management system, a Facebook group, or even an email group could be used as the foundation of a paramedic program alumni association.

Our conversation concluded with recommendations for using the summer to recharge for the coming school year. Chris and each of the hosts shared recommendations for books to read during the summer.

EMS educators have the dual responsibility of teaching technology and teaching with technology. The conversation on Episode 51 of the EMSEduCast begins with a discussion about using e-readers like the Kindle and the iPad. Then Greg, Bill, and Rob with comments and questions from the live audience talked about the need for educators to teach computer skills, educator comfort and anxiety with teaching and technology, student access to computers and information, and the growing presence of social media as a teaching opportunity, but also a distraction.

We are interested in your answers to some of these questions:

  • Would you use a textbook that was available as an ebook for the Kindle or iPad?
  • Should students be allowed to use a smartphone or laptop during lectures?
  • What technology do you want to incorporate into your EMS classroom but don’t know where to start?

Please connect with us on Facebook and talk with our EMS educator listeners from around the world.
