Start Class with a Mini-case on a Current Event

Origin Story

Listening to a news podcast on the way home yesterday, I recognized an opportunity to talk about Walmart’s new “free” grocery pickup service and Lego’s recent challenges. Imagine how refreshing it would be to bring in recent news items and throw it out to the class.

Summary

As I am reading/listening to current events during the week, identify connections to course concepts. Use these to jumpstart a discussion in class. Perhaps this is the substance of a catalyst.

Next Steps

Experiment: Try this out in two weeks.
