Some tips

0 It is important to know what your own predominant

0 It is also important to incorporate multiple learning

methods.

“An active learning process involves listening, demonstrating, interacting,

and understanding”

To keep in mind

“What I hear, I forget.

What I hear and see, I remember a little.

What I hear, see, and ask questions about or discuss with

someone else, I begin to understand.

What I hear, see, discuss, and do, I acquire knowledge and skill.

What I teach to another, I master. “(Silberman, 1996, p. 1)
