Lifelong Learning is FUN and exciting! A way to increase the fun is to maximize participant engagement. Here is a link to an AWESOME resource for easy engagement strategy ideas.

Another simple way to enhance and expand teaching/learning outcomes is to provide reflection prompts and question prompts. These are just open-ended questions with opportunity to think/reflect and share with others. Learning comes to life when the learner is invited to engage in the content.
