We have long understood that most folks learn by doing. We don't want to just watch somebody else do something, we want to try it out for ourselves. Then why are we so prone to design our own training sessions as a slow death-by-PowerPoint? We have to rethink our own training programs so that students get to touch as well as see and hear. This takes a little planning but it's worth the extra effort.

- Session Proposal * Yes, we presenters love us some PowerPoint. But passively viewing slides is not the most effective way for students to learn. Students need to interact with our applications to truly master them. And this interaction should start with the training we give them at launch. Let's face it: our software is sexy. Users want to touch it and explore it. Our training should be sexy too, allowing students to explore and experience the application as we give them the instructions they need.
