Gather around the garbage fire! More learning from experiential activities gone awry

At the 44th annual MOBTS conference, we presented a well-received session about learning from our mistakes. We appreciate that the MOBTS conference is one of the best places to pick up teaching tips from great educators; but we try to answer the question, “what happens when engaging experiential exercises go ‘wrong’?” Come “gather around the garbage fire” to experience, enjoy(?), and learn from stories of exercises that didn’t quite go as they were intended. Come share your stories as we all huddle around the smoking dumpster of broken dreams and, importantly, help one another rescue our exercises from the flames.
