Good CLENE Fun
June 25th, 2006 by Mary WepkingAlthough it wasn’t very well attended (as I’m thinking ALA New Orleans has generally turned out to be), the annual Continuing Education Round Table’s session Saturday afternoon was very worthwhile. CE trainers, teachers and coordinators are often called upon to energize a meeting with an “icebreaker,” often a koosh-ball throw (”Oops, sorry about your coffee!” and “Ow…that’s gonna leave a mark!”) which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Guess if it’s mine.
Anyway, at Good CLENE Fun, participants learned some new icebreakers to not only increase fun and energy, but also to help to focus a training session & get folks ready for the subject at hand. Over a dozen new icebreaker activities were shared by 8 presenters. The handouts to explain these activities will be posted on the CLENE website sometime soon (or so we were told). I’ll try to remember to post the link when I find it.
Oh, and the icebreakers worked. I knew no one when I entered the room and I felt like I knew everyone by the time I left!
