1. How to Engage Every Brain by Ann Herrmann-Nehdi: We are honored to feature articles by our Featured Speakers at Learning 2014. The first one is by Ann Herrmann-Nehdi, one of the leading authors and innovators in the arena of Brain Science and Learning. Her article, How to Engage Every Brain, is online at http://www.learning2014.com/index.php/item/how-to-engage-every-brain.html
2. Wait Eight Seconds for Questions: Recently, I was interviewed by a magazine and asked about the best tip I ever received about learning. I recounted a tip from Dr. Roger Johnson from U of Minnesota back in 1977 when he said, “Wait at least 8 seconds after asking for questions from a group of learners - before you say anything else as an instructor!” Turns out, the average instructor asks, “Are there any questions?” and only waits about 3 seconds. It takes the audience a few more seconds to process your request, formulate questions in their minds, scan the room for other people’s responses and decide to actually ask. Count to 8 and you will see an amazing difference.
3. 1,017 Registrations & Groups Galore: We are honored to be taking dozens of registrations every day for Learning 2014, to take place in Orlando from Oct 26 to 29th. Today, we crossed the 1,000th registration mark. And, as I write this, we are up to 1,017. In addition, there are now over 30 groups of participants from corporations coming together - with meetings before, during or after the event. Hotel space is quickly filling.
