Editor's Notes
- #3 Icebreaker: Be aware of putting people outside their comfort zones.
- #11 Red arrow indicates the cycle starts again
- #14 Call out answers to flip, or in small groups – what do we mean by communication?
- #15 This is what we think happens...
- #16 Not all information gets through. Can look at communication as an attempt to pass information from the sender to the receiver – but with obstacles. Why? What stops the information getting through? Group work.
- #17 Why? How we communicate is just as important as what we communicate. It will actually affect what we communicate. We’ll look at some of these during this course.
- #18 Example about miscommunication In groups identify what happens when it doesn’t work properly. Think of examples. Feedback to group. To make sure it does happen properly – covered in the rest of the course.
