From Use It or Don't by Derrick Bright

About this episode
Derrick Bright discusses the balance between cooperative learning and the need for quiet think time for introverts.
In this episode, I discuss a recent Kagan Cooperative Meetings training. As an introvert, I sometimes hide in groups. CL helps me to not hide and share my thoughts. However, I just finished reading Quiet (The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking) by Susan Cain and she wrote about the importance of quiet think time for introverts. I discuss what this means for me or other introverts.
