Active Learning Credo What I hear, I forget. What I hear and see, I remember a little. What I hear, see and ask questions about or discuss with someone else, I begin to understand. What I hear, see discuss and do, I acquire knowledge and skill. What I teach to another, I master. Teaching Actively by Mel Silberman
