I’m publishing one podcast episode per day in the month of November 2020 as part of a challenge called NaPodPoMo. It stands for National Podcast Post Month. (November is National Podcast Post Month.) The goal of the challenge is 30 podcast episodes in 30 days. This is a bite-sized episode, which I’m using to help promote my new online course called Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro.
Teachers know a thing or two about containerizing. My Mom is a retired high school English teacher. She used to keep her supplies containerized. Like mother, like daughter. I believe in containerizing too. The modules in Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro are containerized. There are 11 modules in total. When I timed myself taking the course, it took about 2 hours to complete it. I did my best to get right to the point. I’m a very direct person, and I don’t like to bury the lede.
Keeping with the theme of containerizing, I encourage students to make flash cards throughout my course. Instead of asking you to listen to a pronunciation and just say it back to the computer screen, I encourage you to write down the written pronunciation, practice saying it, and keep your flash cards in a container for review later. My students get to containerize too! You never know when you might need to refer to your flash cards again. Plus, you can practice when it’s convenient for you.
