Key Ideas to help you:
1. Show a slide and graphic that represents the question and content
Show them an image with books packed into a shelf. Then ask the question “How do learners learn today?” Since you showed the image with the message, learners will type in their own interpretation of the image and the question. Their answers generally cover the content you want to deliver. Instead of telling learners; facilitate to help them discover the learning.
By asking participants thought-provoking questions, you become clear about your content. In this case the content is, “Learners learn in smaller chunks through mobile tools.”
“Short pieces”
“Just-in-time technology”
“Thank you Lisa.”
Laugh at interesting comments.
“Very good answers.”
“Thank you Bob.”
7. Weave participants comments into your conclusion and in relation to the content
In the end “The learners are learning through smaller devices.”
