Example of a shareworthy, low-threshold, shareable improvement - produced by small group during workshop Feb 4, 2011
"Learn, Teach, Learn" Activity
1.  Students learn a new concept
2.  Students prepare to teach this specific concept to peer students, using "their own way of teaching"
3.  Students teach this specific concept to  [some? many? one? optional?] peer students

C.  Develop a sharing strategy

Each strategy should help one person to enable and encourage 3 more colleagues try similar improvements and then, in turn, help 3 more colleagues, and so on....
i.  Think of 3 receptive colleagues who might benefit from learning about your improvement - and who might be likely to help others - jot down their initials to help you recall later whom you intended to help.
ii.  Develop a strategy to use paper bookmarks for this purpose
iii. If time permits (or the paper bookmark is not a good fit for your improvement) develop a different kind of strategy for the same purpose.

III.  Conclusion

  • Report results in this session. 
  • Time permitting, discuss other ideas for using paper bookmarks at your own institution or at this conference.
