Week 4 Visual Teaching Tool
There are 3 options for creating your Visual Teaching Tool. Be sure to choose a format that
makes sense for your selected topic, population, and setting. For example, if will be teaching
adults at a health fair, then an educational brochure would be an appropriate choice. You must
use the Patient Teaching Plan you have developed in this course to create your Visual
Teaching Tool.
Option #1 - Power Point
Directions:
1. Create a 6-8 slide Power Point presentation for your selected population setting.
2. The goal of this Power Point Presentation is to address the three learning outcomes you
developed in the Patient Teaching Plan. Once the learner has viewed your Power Point,
all three of the learning objectives should have been met.
For Example:
If a learning objective in the teaching plan is: “At the end of this education, the learner
will be able to demonstrate the proper way to wear a bike helmet,” then there should
be content in your Power Point related to how to properly wear a bike helmet.
3. Tips for a great Power Point presentation:
Be creative! Choose a design (from the design tab of the PowerPoint
presentation) to enhance visual appeal.
Incorporate graphics, clip art, or photographs to increase interest.
Use words and phrases suitable for your selected population.
Avoid writing paragraphs. Use simple sentences and bullet points.
Cite all sources used to create the educational content with (author, year).
Proofread for spelling and grammar errors prior to final submission.
, Option #2 - Educational Brochure (Using Microsoft Word)
