  • workshops should begin and end by having people think and write about their learning goals. Workshops and series should be named after learning goals rather than tools.
  • involves introducing tools not by the unconscionably boring "click-along-with-the-presenter" method, but by giving participants a logical series of steps to perform and having them figure out how to do them through play, exploration, peer and facilitator support.
