 Transcript: Planning Cooperative Learning Lessons "Getting Started" 
             

There is no topic that cannot be or is not appropriate for this kind of learning approach. Some folks who would say, “I can’t do that. My topic is too complex. The concepts are too difficult”—I couldn’t disagree with that more. I think the more complex, the more difficult the topic, the more important it is that you get to see them actually working together on it, actually working on the real problem—not just listening to me talk about how difficult the concepts are. They need to talk through the concepts. They aren’t really truly going to understand or believe it, until the words actually come out of their mouths on a particular theory, a particular idea, or particular model. Until they are at the point where they have to defend it to the others folks in the group, they aren’t going to see its value. I can tell them how great it is, I can tell them all these things, but they need to actually experience it. So there’s really nothing that can’t or shouldn’t be used in this format.
