After demonstrating a new 311 intake screen, a city trainer still has a long lecture block remaining. When should the instructor invite discussion so engagement techniques actually work?

Short Explanation
A cooking demo that waits until dessert to take questions is too late—people already forgot the sauce. Connect and discuss right after the 311 screen, while the clicks are still warm. End-of-day leftover talk is not the same as structured engagement.
Full Explanation
Engagement techniques such as connect and discuss are meant to be used frequently, not stored for a closing remark. Following a demonstration with immediate discussion lets learners attach meaning and surface confusion while the skill is still in working memory. Deferring talk to the last minutes, skipping it, or parking it after hours fails to establish a learner-centered pace.
