One last piece of advice I gave a 50 minute lunch hour TBL fairly regularly The point is NOT to teach about TBL, but to excite people to take next steps.....to "read the book" or "take a longer workshops" Make sure you close with clear instructions about what the next steps are....wave the book around, point them at teambasedlearning.org or maybe point them at a podcast I did a couple of months ago.. http://cis.apsc.ubc.ca/wiki/index.php/Team-Based_Learning#NEW_-_Introduction_to_TBL_PODcast Good luck Jim -----Original Message----- From: Christine Kuramoto [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 10:25 PM To: Sibley, Jim Subject: Re: Short TBL presentation advice please . . . Thanks Jim, I'm glad you replied to my request. I had already listened to your 2007 conference presentation on the web, so I knew you'd be the one to ask about trying to get something done in a hurry (though I don't think you've ever had to do it in 20 minutes-haaaaaaaaaa!). I'll try a few practice runs with the schedule you suggested and see how it goes. Thanks again!
