RE: Exercise to get participants involved

Here is a good rule of thumb - When you are building a team, do
icebreakers.  When you are getting strangers together, do introductions.


I sent my favorite method offline, but here it is: Set up your training
slides so that every 3-4 slides, you have a pop quiz on what the group
just learned.  This does the following things: 1) makes people pay
attention 2) breaks up the monotony 3) gets it interactive 4) repeats
important points so that they remember what they need to know.  I also
give out candy and hats/t-shirts/pins and other collateral as prizes for
stumpers.
