“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn”, said Benjamin Franklin. As an agile trainer I have to teach a different mindset which can be very difficult just to get an open mind from your student. In the past it worked best for me to do this with games. If I engage people in an exercise, they afterwards have an experience we can talk about. Some concepts or problems are not easy to explain, but It’s easier start discussing a topic when there is already a shared experience to talk about. This experience helps me to overcome the teaching resistance of some students.
