About
the Series:
The "Thiagi Virtual Classroom Six-Pak" series
of live virtual classroom workshops explored six practical,
creative and effective techniques or "frames" that
use the virtual classroom to maximize engagement and
learning in the
live online environment.
Recognized Event:
"Interactive Storytelling"
"Interactive Storytelling involves different forms
of narratives. After listening to a story that incorporates
key concepts, participants take part in a debriefing
discussion. They also create, rewrite, narrate, and
analyze stories that incorporate principles, procedures,
and steps in their plot lines.
Excerpts
from the nominator:
"The
workshop was an amazing
experience,
encouraging
participants
to practice new ideas and training games in groups,
and opening for discussion, questions and reflections
on
the experienced situations and interactions. ... Thiagi
was able to engage and activate participants in numerous
group exercises,
using the shared whitebaord and other facilitation
tools to its full potential. Thiagi was practicing
his ... thought provoking surprises with an outstanding
sense of humor and empathic knowledge of different
thinking styles. This is the most enlightening online
course I've taken so far ... I even played
the ... recorded sessions again to repeat the learning
moments
and reflect on what happened in the moment. ... What
I like most of all is Thiagi's generous encouragement
to 'steal' his
ideas; I'm gradually adapting some of his methods
as an online facilitator, and
found they were rewarding and inspiring. ... This
was total online immersion."
