Slide 2. - 3.5 mins
Make yourself comfortable,Iamgoingto show youa short video.(Startyoutube clip)
Move to slide 3. – 1 min

Well actually,there isagoodchance that youwill onlyremember50% of whatyou justsaw after two
weeks.
Move to slide 4. – 3.5 mins
As we can see fromEdgar Dale’scone of learning.
So…..if I askyou to justreadthisslide,withinthe nexttwoweeksyouwill onlyremember10% of what
youhave read.
Andwhat aboutif I askedyouabout seeingwords –how muchdo youthinkyoucouldrememberafter
twoweeks?– 30%
Or sayingwords………….. – 70%
Now for example,if Iwasto speakto youabout the cone on screenandgo on all day aboutit which
wouldbe a bitboring for you(sayinga bitboringfor youquite fast,thensoundingthe crazytrumpet
noise) youwill still remember20%of whatI have saiddue to the interruption of noise.Andone dayyou

The resultof this trainingisthatby puttingall of these elementstogether,we get90% of the learning
material intwoweeksasopposedtoeachindividual elementonitsown.
