If I hear, I will forget.
If I see, I will remember.
However,
When I do, I understand.
This book's interactive games reflect what
the students already know
and what they will need to learn.
Instead of asking students to sit still
this book encourages them to be active.
Instead of teaching via lecture
this book requires the students to play games.
Instead of boring lessons,
this book insists all participants have fun.
The teacher should get out of the way
when the learning competition is on.
The winner takes it all.
The competition and desire
to do well will be fierce.
Instead of silence at test time,
there could be yelling,
screaming,
usually laughter and sometimes tears.
Students will be excited about learning.
They will be "turned on" by learning...
They will want to learn more.
The teaching methods in this book
are almost the exact opposite
of what traditional schools use.
