"Sit & get" won't grow dendrites : 20 professional learning strategies that engage the adult brain
Personal Author EPSB:
Summary:
The author applies theory found in adult learning research to advice on how to create professional training presentations that will actually help participants remember the information presented (or "grow dendrites"). She describes the use of 20 presentation strategies such as brainstorming, using graphic organizers, incorporating humor, using music, and incorporating visuals. For each, she briefly summarizes the theoretical support for the strategy and describes how best to use it in presentations.
