    Catch All

    Hold all your stuff in The Hulk. This cart is the best we could find. While it's really big, it's also really easy to break down for storage. Plus, you can take the crate off the wheels and place it on top of a desk.


    TIP OF THE MONTH

    Treat yourself like a star

    Why do first-year consultants wear fancy suits, buy 1st class airline tickets and eat expensive lunches? First, because they can. More importantly, when you feel like a million bucks, you act like a million bucks.

    So, treat yourself to a fancy toy--a bright Green Laser that shines brighter and farther than the standard red lasers. You'll feel good and your presentation will be as bright as a Green Laser!

    Only $89.00 through March 18th.

    TOY OF THE MONTH

    Spin for fun

    Customize your own Prize Wheel to make a game of team selection, question selection, prize selection, topic selection, and more.

    The possibilities are endless.


    SPECIAL OF THE MONTH

    BIG BOOKS with BIG games . . . (and little ones too)

    The books themselves are not that big. But the games and activities in them can have a big impact on your learners. While the Big Books look like a series, they've been written by a variety of authors who are experts in their content areas.

    10% off our already discounted prices - through March 18th.

    List Price: $21.95

    FEATURE ARTICLE: Learnertainment® Works

    by Lenn Millbower

    "What we learn with pleasure we never forget." Louis Mercier

    When Millbower realized that he could not keep his college students' attention, but a 3 hour long Titanic movie could, he began looking for entertainment techniques he could apply to his classroom.

    Each time he added an entertaining element, the learners responded, so he'd add another. Soon, he noticed that test and class evaluation scores rose.

    In this article, Lenn introduces the "Learnertainment Chain," in which:

    • Entertainment creates Emotion
    • Emotion creates Attention
    • Attention creates Meaning
    • Meaning creates Memory
