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.
- Complete more NoteTaking bookmarks during this conference and leave them in the wicker basket in the conference registration area.
- Send results or inquiries to SallyGilbert@tltgroup.org
