Active Learning Strategy - ABG Tic Tac Toe

This is a fun “bingo” type exercise I developed for my nursing class several years ago. The idea is not original – I had heard about this before – but the attached documents are my adaptation of the idea.

Active learning exercises such as “ABG Tic Tac Toe” can be used in class, as a fun activity after lecture, in small groups, or by individual students as a study aid.

Interpreting arterial blood gases is among the most difficult content taught in nursing school. This interactive exercise truly helps students understand and apply the concepts.

Enjoy!
