Why
Coming out of college or graduate school, you're probably used to one style of teaching - sit 'n git. You've watched a 100 PowerPoints, or maybe a professor got crazy and did a Prezi. The bottom line is, while these methods can be effective, they aren't necessarily the best way for students to learn.
Brain surgeons didn't learn their craft from a PowerPoint and students learn best by doing.
