Cone of Learning

9-14-2006


Today at school my friend brought in the cone of learning and showed the class. After his speech, I asked him where he got it. He said, 'off of the Rich Dad websight' (www.richdad.com) I talked to him for a little while longer, and I found out that his family owned the Cashflow game. They also had some of the books. Of course, I told my teacher about the game since it was on my mind, and he said that he would like me to bring the game in and do a presentation. I hope at some point, that he will give me a date and time to do the presentation. On Tuesday, I'm going to ask him again about Cashflow.

My name is Cynthia. I'm an investor in Canada and run cashflow games at my house at least 2 days a week. One in the day, one in the evening.
I volunteer with Junior Achievement (www.janorthablerta.org) here in Canada (it's a charity dedicated to teaching kids about business in schools and I go in and have taught to grade 9, grade 4 and grade 5.) I just googled it and you guys have it down in the US as well. (green triangle with staircase logo in gold)
I can tell you as a former teacher, that you need to be proactive with the game and making sure it happens. I am sure that students asked me things when I was teaching in Quebec that I forgot to follow up with. Maybe you could run a lunch time cashflow session with your teacher?
Then it will show him the game and how much there is to learn and then he will be more inclined to set away a whole 2 hours of class time (maybe 1/2hr before and after lunch including the lunch break) for your class to play. That way it won't take alot of time from his lesson plans.
Playing beats just giving a presentation on it, alot more learning. I try to always make my Junior Achievement classes as interactive as possible and always watch the Cone of Learning CD from Robert before I play cashflow.
