ENVISION.
Though we may all look at the same things, it does not all follow that we should see them.”
― JOHN LUBBOCK
What is a Learning Mat? It is a learning and communication tool that engages both the right brain (holistic, intuitive, pattern creating) and the left brain (logical, sequential, analytical) to produce new insight. A Learning Mat is a large table visual -- perhaps five feet across. Learners sit around the map in small teams of five to six members and interact with it in various ways but often driven by a participant guide or a deck of cards that acts as a facilitator (so that the program is, in effect, self-facilitating.) The outcome is always a dialogue generated by the small learner team in which the make connections, draw meaning, and generate new awareness and
behavior.
