Color Me Learning
By Bob Pike Group
Stephen Hudak, one
of our ezine readers, submitted this simple idea which works to accelerate
learning.
"I conduct some training that is quite technical," Hudak
says. "We have step-by-step lessons which a trained or even partially incompetent
monkey could follow. However, I have found that those students that take good
notes on my discussion advance more rapidly than those who don't."
"Our computer software is called 'VP Command.' Thus, I
have created 'The VP Command Coloring Book' which contains hand-drawn sketches
of the basic information I present on a flip-chart. I also provide crayons or
colored pencils (what good is a coloring book without stuff to color with,
right?). The right-hand page contains my basic sketch and the left-hand page is
blank so they can make their own notes and follow along," Hudak said.
Below are three
illustrations for this tool. The first is the back cover of the coloring book
which states its purpose. The second is the left-hand blank page and the third
contains Hudak's drawings.
Stephen Hudák is a
trainer at VP University, a part of Varco Pruden Buildings in Front Royal, Va.
