Learning to Learn

I’m happy to be facilitating the next session at Sadler Heath.

Sadler Heath is an organisation established for those of us who want to take responsibility for their own long-term personal development and thought leadership by working together with like-minded people in a safe and supportive environment.

This workshop will be about using games for learning:

• games are a powerful tool for learning,  as playing a game creates a great learning environment,
• the mindset that people have when they play a game is consistent with learning; engaged, open, looking for connections, enjoying themselves,
• the rules and object of the game can link with the learning material,
• games involve multiple senses and patterns of thinking, and so involve different types of learners,
• games are a great ice breaker and allow experiential understanding of the topic in discussion,
• games have an element of ambiguity, and so enable different people to learn
• different things.

Workshop structure:

• we will get curious about games, finding out how and why they work as learning tool,
• we will use this knowledge to practice facilitating games,
• we will move on to create our own games that support an idea.
