Bill, Yes, I do wander around talking during team exercises. I also do a good amount of standing in front of the class at the board. I teach human biology, and I need visual aids when discussing anatomical structures. I also write out some answers from the teams, or create concept maps, etc. I'm in a small lecture hall with fixed seating, so I can't get to the middle of the room. I walk around the periphery instead - same idea though. Dianne York, M.S., MT(ASCP) Lecturer, Biology Lincoln University, PA [log in to unmask]
