The Amazing Race to Motivation
Sometimes we just have to try something new. Yesterday I spent 3 hours in the dentist chair for a root canal redo. Today my face, jaw, neck and shoulder were in pain. How could I teach my managment class without lecturing today? The solution was to create a scavenger hunt to seeking answers through looking up, finding, acting out, analyzing and applying. The subject was motivation--it was perfect. The students had fun, learned a lot and I even heard during break them using the terminology in conversation!
Hi Duane,

At the end of my course we challenge a sister class and score the competition.The students love the challenge and its a great course reveiw.
Hi Megan,
It is amazing what students can learn from each other through competition. Competition is a good thing when students compete academically.

I love this idea! I feel like it will increase the "team" presence rather than putting the students against each other in competition style. They all need each other to learn the information.
Hi Coleen,
I concur! We have to be creative in our ways of teaching, and branch out more from our comfort zone.
