Increase Learning and Engage Participants with Tell, Show, Do

Greetings, KW Technology Ambassadors! 

Happy Friday and we hope you've been having a great week! Here is your weekly Ambassador update:

HOW TO INCREASE LEARNING AND ENGAGE PARTICIPANTS
Think about the training classes you've facilitated. For every class you've taught, you can categorize all of the class activities into two basic categories:

1. Stuff that the Instruction or Instructor does
2. Stuff that the Learner does

According to a recent eLearningIndustry post by Joel Gardner, PhD, within each of the above categories there are four basic strategies for creating excellent instruction: Tell, Show, Do and Apply.

While often overlooked, the most important strategy is Apply; everyone benefits when the students leave the class with tasks completed! 

On today's webinar, we'll discuss tactics for applying these to your daily training activities. 


FIND YOUR MOBILE APP URL QUICKLY ON MYKW!

myKW.kw.com > Technology > KW Mobile App Resources

The next time you're asked to help an agent locate their mobile app URL, you can direct them to myKW > Technology > KW Mobile App Resources. 

This page outlines the simple 3-step process for downloading, branding and sharing your app - a great resource for new agents! The URL can be found in Step 3.

UPDATED MOBILE APP TRAINING VIDEOS ON KWCONNECT

KWConnect.kw.com > Agents > Technology Training >
 Keller Williams Realty Mobile App

We've updated our training videos to walk agents through the easy 3-step process for downloading, branding and sharing their app. Be sure to share these videos in your Market Center so that all agents are aware of the valuable marketing tool that they already have in their hands.

BRANDED LISTING PHOTOS AND SYNDICATION

Does your listing
look like this?

Zillow has been cracking down on branded photos—and they have the right to do so. Their terms of use prohibit you from creating advertising in your photos. While many trainers have encouraged branding of photos—what we have seen lately is not just branded photos but photos that look more like business cards, where the picture of the home is secondary to the agent’s contact information. 

We are working to protect the copyright of our agents’ photos and will hopefully have an agreement to enable KW agents to watermark photos. But right now, to prevent photos and listings from being removed, we recommend you and your agents remove your branding.
