Lessons Learned
Dennis - If you’re making a training video, and it’s not fun for you to watch, it will be even worse for your intended audience.
Chris - Never assume people are interested in what you have to say. Give them the “why” first, not the “what.” Let them see your vision, then your plan.

Mindset: Growth, instead of change. Change is trendy and superficial. Growth is deeper and more lasting.  (Curriculum 21 by Heidi Hays Jacobs)
Create Mystery - What does a good TV show or book do to keep your watching or reading?  Don’t give answers, pose questions, or better yet, present problems or situations that encourage students to ask and answer their own questions.  Once you have engaged a student’s curiosity, STOP TALKING. Let them learn.
