Liberating Structures: Discovery and Action Dialog

There is so much knowledge inside of each of us. We can tap this for problem solving or any kind of knowledge sharing or learning activities. One very useful Liberating Structure for this is Discovery and Action Dialog, or D.A.D.  Do this challenge in pairs or small groups. For the F2F events, we’ll work in pairs or trios. Online you can do this with another person in a chat room, Google Hangout, Skype or in any web meeting tool. It is more… »

Storyboard a Class

Storyboards are short, visual sketches that help you plan something. You can storyboard an event, a meeting, a class — whatever you have to plan or design. While storyboarding is often associated with preparation for filmmaking, it is a very useful visual practice. Create a visual storyboard of an upcoming class session or activity. If you are adventuresome, try using no words! You can create your storyboard on paper or using a web based storyboard tool. There is a great Wikiversity more… »

Visual Metaphors. Or not?

Visual metaphors can be a great way to stimulate learner thinking and to get people out of “thinking ruts.” For example, we can use a “river of life” visual exercise to either reflect and plan, or to tell a collective story. We can ask our learners to consider a challenge about their team work by visualizing their team like a bee hive and draw what is happening.  (See more examples here: http://www.visualthinkingmagic.com/visual-metaphor-bridge-gap) At the same time, a metaphor can be more… »

Make a visual to support your teaching and learning activities

Yes, YOU can draw and create images. They don’t have to be perfect. The first step is to turn off your inner censor. Turn on your inner child. And remember, when you demonstrate LEARNING in front of your students, they become more empowered to learn themselves. In this case, imperfection can be a teaching tool, not a weakness. Think about a class or learning activity that you will be doing in the near future. Jot this down. Download a drawing more… »

How do we use visuals to make meaning?

Pictures are useful for meaning making because they don’t carry the explicit assumption of clarity that we make with our words. So while we assume that people understand what we say (even when they don’t), we are often ready for a conversation about ‘what does this mean” when we share an image. Images stimulate useful meaning making conversations that can open learning up beyond simple ideas. This challenge offers a quick, easy opportunity to see how others interpret an image. more… »

Paired Drawing Exercise

I use this improvisational co-drawing exercise a LOT for a wide set of uses. It can “break the ice” with new groups, it can surface lessons about perception, collaboration, assumptions, teamwork and a host of other things. I learned it from Johnnie Moore who learned it from  Alain Rostain. It is very simple. I’ve mostly used it face to face, but I’ve also done it online when there is a shared electronic whiteboard available. Here is a quote from Johnnie’s blog where I more… »

Liberating Structures: Getting Help From Peers

Do you have a challenge you would like your peers to help you solve? Choose a liberating structure and recruit some colleagues to help you out. Identify a challenge or opportunity you have that you would like your peers to help you think through or support. It is best if this is a REAL challenge or opportunity, not something made up. Review and choose from the following Liberating Structures: Troika Consulting, Discovery and Action Dialog, Wicked Questions, or if you more… »

Liberating Structures: Minimum Specifications

Sometimes we try to specify too many things to do, too many rules, too much STUFF. Getting down to what is critical and important is a useful engagement practice. This is particularly useful when negotiating agreements, designing projects and REAL TASKS. If you have group assignments in your class, have them start with Min Specs! Even better is when we work with peers to do this paring down process. Find 3-5 other people to join you in this challenge. It more… »

Liberating Structures: Appreciative Interview

This is a quick 12 minute challenge you can do with another person. You can do it face to face, on the phone or online. It serves many purposes: it teaches us to listen well to our peers, it helps us identify strengths and assets upon which we can build subsequent work or action, and it builds relationships. Find another person and conduct an Appreciative Interview with them. Spend five minutes to discover where they have been most successful engaging students more… »
