Interactive tools

Hi everyone,

Looking at interactive tools, I see there is "an app for everything."

The problem is the "Return on Effort" (RoE) is quite low when we use these tools.

Part-8 Open Questions Teach Engaging Screenagers to Synthesize Can you imagine you are teaching or training and everyone in the room is following along and answering their questions in their eWorkbook? Back in the day when I was a professional seminar leader we used to give everyone in the audience a workbook. The  workbook helped to make sure everyone was engaged together.

In groups they just don’t share much at all, but you think they they could  share great ideas  if they could “just open” up a little? 1st Way In the world of training we have the think-write-share exercise where  individual participants  think about an answer to the idea/question/application/etc.,  write down their ideas , and then share what they wrote with a partner. (optimal engagement) In my classes students and participants use  their mobile devices  to  submit their responses  for this exercise. How to Win Friends & Influence People This can be a great ice-breaker to get everyone to open up and work together. (Actually, I use this exercise several times in most every training/seminar/workshop/coaching I lead. One problem is the pa...
