MAILING LISTS

That is a great idea. I find that having students write responses on the chalkboard is more time consuming than I would like it to be. They feel the need to first write their answer on paper first, then there is always debate about who is going up to the board, and sometimes there is not the board space needed for all teams to report at once. 

I will be trying this next week. Thank you!

Subject: Technology enhanced gallery walk 

Greetings, 

Several threads have mentioned using gallery walks as a way to bring the 4S's to materials teams create, such as text, diagrams, etc. I would like to share with you a variation that I find helpful in some situations. 

Index cards can be used instead of large "post-it" boards. Some people find these more comfortable to write on, they are less expensive, and are easily carried around. The student responses on index cards are displayed together simultaneously using a document camera. Teams can then discuss the options at their table and vote on which one they think is best, etc. 

This works with up to 6 cards on our system. If there are more than 6 teams, the facilitator could select representative, or random, examples. 

I would be interested to learn of other successful variations on this theme.
