Call to Action
Does the scene below look familiar? Everyone sitting in rows? Doing the exact same thing at the exact same time? A few participants (maybe even you) not fully engaged?

If you are interested in learning more about how this idea and this video developed, check out the behind the scenes story in my blog post, Blended Professional Learning (LU).
