What I took from class 10/21

One thing that I took from class is as teachers we should try to think of different ways to facilitate discussion other then linguistically.  Some students are very good at talking and listening so a good verbal discussion is good for them.  Some students are better visually and maybe we should try to facilitate a discussion with something visually.  I learned that you can facilitate discussion with a jigsaw approach which is having an initial group which specialized in one thing and then they break up into other groups with one expert from each to share what they know with each other.  I also learned some good tools that could help me with the whiteboard like grouping, locking, and how you should make sure your colors contrast so everyone can see them.  I also learned that I can contact Dr. Boyer through skype because it can be faster then e-mail.
