ESTPs are energetic thrillseekers who are at their best when putting out fires, whether literal or metaphorical. They bring a sense of dynamic energy to their interactions with others and the world around them. They assess situations quickly and move adeptly to respond to immediate problems with practical solutions.


Active and playful, ESTPs are often the life of the party and have a good sense of humor. They use their keen powers of observation to assess their audience and adapt quickly to keep interactions exciting. Although they typically appear very social, they are rarely sensitive; the ESTP prefers to keep things fast-paced and silly rather than emotional or serious.

Many auditory learners may experience challenges when instructions or information are given in written form but can clearly understand them when the information is auditory. These individuals are typically good listeners and can easily remember information that has been spoken. For example, an auditory learner may remember everything that was said during a work meeting but has a hard time recalling the information that was outlined in a work report.

Common characteristics of an auditory learner include:
  • Can easily recall spoken information

  • Good speaking skills

  • Strong listening skills

  • Typically excel at oral exams

  • Good storytelling skills

  • Benefits the most from reading aloud

  • Easily distracted by background noises

  • Works best on a conversational basis

  • Talented at explaining ideas verbally

There are several strategies that an auditory learner can implement to improve their overall learning experience in the workplace. The following are strategies you can use if you are an auditory learner:
  • Play background music: Many auditory learners work best when there is background noise as opposed to silence. 
  • Ask for verbal direction: Auditory learners typically understand directions best when they are spoken. 
  • Participate in group discussions: Individuals who are auditory learners often benefit greatly from group discussions within the workplace. 
  • Record meetings
  • Read aloud: While this strategy may not be appropriate in all work environments, for auditory learners who work in a private area reading aloud may prove beneficial when trying to retain information.
  • Talk through problems: When problems or situations that need to be solved are presented in the workplace, talking through these scenarios is the best way for an auditory learner to digest information and come up with a solution.

This week I have attended a support workers workshop which aimed to understand the perception of the support workers in regards to working closely with students during during their placements and teaching them part of the job too.
One of the students created a survey for the support workers through Menti website to understand how many of them spent time with students to teach part of the job and also is they considered educating students part of their role. After we were divided into break up rooms to discuss different points and then go back to the main area to share our views. it was very interesting to listen to different point of view regarding whose responsibility is to educate a student on placement and denying the importance of teaching because it was not felt as part of their role. After completing all the discussion points a second survey was done. The participants were then less reluctant to work with a student and recognise the role they have to teach a future clinician.

so what?
I feel that this workshop was very useful to understand both how a student can feel on placement in relation to working with support workers and viceversa. it made me realise that education of the support worker staff is a very important part of their training because sometimes they can share very important and valuable skills to students. Nevertheless, educating students might be seen as increase of responsibilities within their scope of practice and also source of stress. 
It makes me also wonder what can be done to increase awareness of the role of the support workers within students learning process.

now what?
I will try to engage in projects to educate support workers about the importance of their role and support for a good student experience.
I will also try to help students engage better within the team dynamic in my future jobs.

I have watched this video and others to learn about this software which enables you to create very fancy presentations. It provides a more dynamic presentation style with allows the presenter to choose which topic to talk about without looking for a particular slide. This helps the presenter with flexibility throughout the presentation as well as the listeners by providing material which is very easy to access and very quick to go through when looking for a specific topic.

I am quite excited to be using this software as it is different from a usual power point presentation. It can be a bit difficult at the start but as with any other software, improvements are seen with time and practice. 
I believe that this presentation style has got the potentials to engage a wider audience compared to powerpoint. Prezi has been shown to play a part in teaching medical students (Elswaifi, 2016). One of the benefits of Prezi presentations is their ability to illustrate the larger context in which each part of the lecture topic exists. This would be achieved by dividing the content into distinct groups or categories that can be visually illustrated separately without losing sight of the big picture.
Prezi presentations can also be designed to demonstrate the relationship between different portions of the topic for example explaining physiological processes or management/ service structures such as the NHS. This could be used more within work meetings  the describing the two points mentioned and also keep people interested during the presentation.
I feel learning how to properly use this software will help me grow my presentation skills and make the content more interesting. 

I will learn more about different features of prezi to use it as my personal form of presentation.
This can be used to teach patients about their injury, their healing process and rehabilitation too.]]> 2022-07-09 11:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/angeloserra/9svtnqp7aoqhkniq/wish/2240142556
