Week 10: 3/9 - 3/15 - J: Reading to Facilitate
Based on the discussion it appeared there was a common theme of discussion. After reading the Bender book most folks agreed that they needed to add some sort of group interaction to their instruction to make it successful and to make it stick. As stated in my comment:
Something that I had not considered at all is social interaction. Looking at page 185 it talks about learning as a
social process. It jump started a portion of the brain and made me wonder if my audience serves to gain anything
from my material or will they complete it and it go the wayside. Depending on time and landscape I may add a
discussion or maybe a community of practice to allow participants away to socially interact and trade ideas not
only about the training but for them.

I kind of went out on a limb by posting this comment and I felt reassured to see Linda’s reaction was similar to mine. I feel that we both, as well as the group, will walk away from this discussion know discussion is the key and the group efforts are an excellent way to reinforce the learning we provide.
