Like many, in my TBL classes I use small white boards for teams to report
their results when working on problems between RATs. After carefully
watching student debates and discussions during today's team RAT process,
it dawned on me that students could use these whiteboards for team
discussions as well. I should add that I teach economics and much of the
course is graphical and the boards are very useful for drawing these
graphs.
I got this minor insight after carefully sitting down next to teams and
listening to the team RAT discussions. Before, I had just wandered around.
I picked up quite a bit by listening more carefully.
