Another title recommended by Ty at both of the last two class meetings (Feb and March) -- so I looked this up and read through it quickly.
The tips provided through the book are of varying impact, but the overall premise is sound:
- We should change the nature of our traditional teaching-by-lecture every 10 to 20 minutes with something that draws listeners in and makes them participants rather than passive sitters.
- People only remember about 20% of what they hear; so give them ways to apply, question, respond, move, and deepen what you present to them.
Good book, quick read -- some of the tips are good enough to stick with me.
