The standard old lecture followed by test has been around for a few thousand years. And it's probably still the most common training method used anywhere in the world.
But the technology has really moved on. Active participation on the part of the students has been proven over and over to result in both greater understanding and retention.
Ten years ago when the first edition of this book came out it clarified how to create an active learning environment And Dr. Silberman has finally revised his ten year old classic. It's updated, and now includes a CD with some 200 hints and tips covering everything from how to organize a classroom to forming groups that will work together on a project.
We can only wish that the teachers for our children could use some of these techniques and make the public school system less of a tiresome chore. No, that's not totally true, we can also wish that the teachers of the next training class that we take will have read this book.
(From quoting a guest reviewer)

From publisher
When it was first published in 1995, Mel Silberman's 101 Ways to Make Training Active became an instant bestseller. Now this revised and updated second edition offers the same dynamic approach and several completely new case examples. The examples support each exercise and highlight real-time uses of the highly successful Active Training method. In addition, the book includes 200 training tips that form the nuts-and-bolts of successful active training. These tips incorporated in the book's top ten lists show how to build quality, activity, variety, and direction into your training programs.
For the first time 101 Ways to Make Training Active features a CD-ROM containing all the original "Top Ten Trainers Tips and Techniques" lists for easy reproduction and distribution.

If you want to shift from lecture-based learning (or lack of it) to participant-centered (with plenty of transfer), then 101 Ways to Make Training Active belongs in your library. Mel never fails to provide practical tools and strategies for making training come alive. |

I can now retire my beat-up copy of Mel’s original 101 Ways to Make Training Active that I have been using the last ten years. The second edition is even more practical. It retains the original brilliance and adds new and powerful activities. I am planning to buy two copies and keep one of them under lock and key. |
