An Apple a Day

An Apple a Day

I just read it's #NationalAppleDay! I remember a Bible school teacher cutting an apple in half as part of a lesson and I remember learning about an apple falling on Newton's head which led him to come up with the law of gravity - in both cases an image or prop really helped with what someone was trying to teach me since I still remember it many years later.

Always try to think how you can create a mental image to share with your trainees when trying to get a concept or new idea across. Do you have any other "apple" ideas to share?
