Ping? Pong! Exercising the Sudden Search for Significance

Design, student-led, agile

Teachable moments arise in the flow of classroom-based learning so potentially meaningful that you wish you had a planned exercise to elevate the intensity and viscosity of this naturally occurring experiential learning. Solution. Have a supply of Ping-Pong balls handy. Invite the class to invent on the spot how to make a vivid moment for visualizing the significance of an otherwise tacit organizational behavior. What might this behavior be? Any sort chosen by the teacher, even on the spur of the moment. It works. Testing this claim, participants will make sudden, revelatory meaning with Ping-Pong balls. Simple. Handy. Unforgettable.
