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)? > > Thanks,
in advance, for any tips you may have! > > Karen
