MAILING LISTS

Karen,

I tried something new this semester that works well for me.  I pair up groups and have them present to one another.  I give them approximately 5  - 7 minutes for each presentation after they have completed an activity.  I task the groups with challenging the other groups with their questioning and identifying best practices.  We then sit back down and have a lively discussion about what they have learned from one another.  

Cheers, Tom

> Hello Fellow TBLers,

> I would appreciate the wisdom and advice of the group regarding facilitating inter-team discussions in the large lecture hall.  I have 173 students and 26 teams in a stadium style hall that seats 280, no microphones other than the instructor's, no technology other than LCD projector, instructor laptop, and ethernet internet access.  How do you ensure that all teams are included and all are heard (in 50 minute class periods)?>
