5. Where should we be?

7. Unfortunately . . .
• Most of our learning, especially in higher
education, comes from a secondary
experience (Jarvis, 2006).
– Reading
– Interviewing
– Sharing memories

8. So the fix is . . .
• Get involved in the learning process
• Work in groups to share experiences
• Engage in meaningful conversations
• Do stuff that means something
• Get close to the primary experience

9. Group work
• 20 in class = 5 groups of 4
• Each group chooses 2 topics
• Each group hosts the discussion for the week
– Prepare for and guide discussion
– Identify external resources (sites/speakers etc.)
– Prepare 5-10 review questions/answers
• Group outline to me 2 days before (dropbox)
