Debrief What did you think when you
saw different people in different sub-groups?
Who surprised you in their choices?
Who was predictable and unpredictable?
How did people's behavior change in according to the different group categories?
Who has knowledge or expertise or passion about something that we didn't realize before?

Lectures can…
Provide new information, based on original research and generally not found in textbooks or other printed sources
Highlight similarities and differences between key concepts
Communicate the enthusiasm of teachers for their subjects
Model how a particular discipline deals with questions of evidence, critical analysis, problem solving and the like
Organize subject matter in a way that is best suited to a particular class and course objectives
Dramatize important concepts and share personal insights

Dialogue with Self

“What do I think about a topic?”
“How do I feel about this topic?”
“What am I learning?”
“How am I learning?”
“What role does it play in my life?”

Implementing the model
Expand the kinds of learning
experiences you create

Create small groups of students and have them make a decision or answer a focused question periodically,
Find ways for students to engage in authentic dialogue with people other than fellow classmates who know something about the subject (on the web, by email, or live),
Have students keep a journal or build a "learning portfolio" about their own thoughts, learning, feelings, etc.,
Find ways of helping students observe (directly or vicariously) the subject or action they are trying to learn, and/or
Find ways to allow students to actually do (directly, or vicariously with case studies, simulation or role play) that which they need to learn to do.
