Real life connection to Wii game
Marianne Ancheta's (our production manager) husband works in a nursing home where they have 2 Wii games for the seniors to exercise.
By the end of the satellite broadcast and accompanying hands-on learning activities, participants will be able to:
1. Tell the story of how the way we as public health professionals do our work is changing as technology evolves, and how we must adapt to successfully meet the needs and wants of the changing health care consumer.
2. Describe at least two technologies that public health professionals can use to help them be more creative and efficient in the work that they do. (Some examples may include but are not limited to: text messaging, interactive online games, virtual reality, MP3 player for survey administration, video conferencing, Webcasting, podcasting, hand-held devices for quick audience survey responses/feedback, computer-assisted telephone focus groups, blogs).
3. Describe at least two real-life and current case examples of public health professionals applying new technologies to enhance the work that they do. (One example is Alameda County's mass dispensation virtual reality drill).
4. Understand how they can personally apply and tailor at least two technologies in their own work-related activities. (One example could be using self-filmed video and placing it on one's organization's Website and accompanying it with an interactive activity.)
5. Participate in at least two interactive new technology tools that can be used in public health practice.
