Titchenal developed creative teaching tools, such as crossword puzzles, to help students comprehend the difficult terminology in used his classes. To explain the interrelated nature of concepts, he uses stories or shows a cartoon to illustrate his point.
Titchenal is an advocate of teaching beyond the classroom and does so in various public presentations, including his Honolulu Star-Bulletin column, Health Options.
