March 26th

Although I wasn’t in class on this night I wanted to share some insights about my day.  The reason I wasn’t in class was that I was in a training seminar in DC.  The training session was my first step to becoming a blood bank assessor.   In order for blood banks to gain and maintain accreditation the blood bank has to submit to an assessment or inspection once every two years.  I am on my way to becoming one of the assessors.  Needless to say the training session left something to be desired.  We sat in a room in the Westin Tysons Corner for 8 hours listening the a woman talk and watch a power point.  The only active learning activity came at the end and because the teacher had not managed her time wisely we didn’t have enough time to finish the activity.  I found myself the entire seminar thinking of ways to make the presentation more learner centered.
