2018-03-29 06:28:46 PM tristageisler I like that you involve the staff with the tournaments thats awsome
2018-03-29 06:28:54 PM kathyhughes You can use them (TED talks) as an educational class and at then end of say 6 weeks of attending they get a certificate
2018-03-29 06:28:54 PM brendarivest what are TED talks?
2018-03-29 06:29:00 PM sjorgensen We have a computer with a program called IN2L.
2018-03-29 06:29:23 PM kat86 we have a blast. The residents love to show off their skills and give us a hard time, in a joking way of course
2018-03-29 06:29:29 PM jackieb92 we have the in2l too! my residents love it. we just got it
2018-03-29 06:29:32 PM maria7293 THANK U KATHY
2018-03-29 06:29:35 PM timduvelsdorf94 i love the in2l i tried to get that into my facility now but its expensive
2018-03-29 06:29:35 PM kat86 We play Wheel of Fortune on the Wii too
2018-03-29 06:29:36 PM tristageisler I have been wanting the IN2L my assistant was telling me about it
2018-03-29 06:29:43 PM kathyhughes https://www.ted.com/
2018-03-29 06:29:53 PM brendarivest thx Kathy
2018-03-29 06:29:54 PM sjorgensen The IN2L is a pretty useful tool...
2018-03-29 06:29:59 PM tristageisler I think it would be a great piece of equiptment
2018-03-29 06:30:06 PM timduvelsdorf94 has anyone used singfit?
2018-03-29 06:30:13 PM olivcar TED talks are brief talks given by professionals in a specific field. One of the best ones is about a woman who experiences her own stroke and happens to be a neuroscientist. It's called "My Stroke of Insight". Next month we're showing one that a lot of teachers like called "Every Child Needs a Champion"
2018-03-29 06:30:14 PM tristageisler for my activity dept.
2018-03-29 06:30:26 PM olivcar What is singfit?
2018-03-29 06:30:28 PM sjorgensen The residents can make it as "personal" as they want...and it has something for everybody.
2018-03-29 06:30:54 PM brendarivest gonna have to see if i can get it on the work laptop
2018-03-29 06:30:59 PM sjorgensen Oh...I was that one called My Stroke of Insight...She even wrote a book about it.
2018-03-29 06:31:17 PM kathyhughes https://singfit.com/
2018-03-29 06:31:26 PM timduvelsdorf94 singfit is a music therapy tool that helps engage the residents to sing a long with you that also has trivia and such
2018-03-29 06:31:34 PM olivcar Yeah she did! She's the only person I've ever heard get excited about having a stroke haha
2018-03-29 06:31:36 PM tristageisler I think it would be useful for one to one visits.. I have almost 20 residents on my one to one list and I think it would help personalize their visits
2018-03-29 06:31:57 PM olivcar That sounds awesome Tim!
2018-03-29 06:32:03 PM maria7293 WHAT IS THIS ONE KATHY?
2018-03-29 06:32:17 PM tristageisler their visits are already personalized but having to carry around each activity to each room can be difficult
2018-03-29 06:32:18 PM sjorgensen That singfit site sounds like something I'd use...expecially while I play my ukluele!!! LOL
2018-03-29 06:32:30 PM kathyhughes Tim uses Singfit
