Very interesting idea!  Great creativity!  I'm sure the students
generally enjoy this and learn a lot from each other.

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)?
