The Laughing Classroom: Diana Loomans Joe Bozic
Speaker, author and success coach • Founder: Quantum Life Institute • Offers professional and business coaching • Very Positive with multiple degrees in community and adult education Diana Loomans
Treat “The Laughing Classroom like the Bible”, taking one new idea into the classroom per week. A college professor did this and his classes went from boring and small to large and full of learning and fun because he implemented one or two humorous (laughing) ideas into his class but learning at a high level was being accomplished. Diana’s Thoughts
Laughing and learning go hand in hand • Students will enjoy learning more if its more appealing and fun • The ability to turn a boring activity into a joyful one • Easily could be implemented into everyday life • Students become more motivated • Away from the traditional approach • Need the right type of instructor/teacher Perks of The Laughing Classroom
Laughing can become too much with less learning • Distractive • Depends on students/type of students • With wrong instructor results will not be good • Hard to implement because of type of students • Could cause classroom disruptions Disadvantages
