I really like the idea of "dont tell students something, ask them". This helps the light bulb come in in your students' mind.
Make Students Active Participants in Learning
Students learn by doing, making, writing, designing, creating, solving, etc. Don't tell students something when you can ask them. Encourage students to suggest approaches to a problem. Adults are active learners, as opposed to youth who typically are passive learners. Active learners want to be in the flow of the learning process from the very beginning. This means that you must put the materials into "bite-size chunks" which they can understand and apply. They want immediate use of newly acquired knowledge.
