notecards
In every class there are the quiet ones and the loud, know-all atudents.
I really like the idea of students wrtiting questions they are afraid to ask on notecards, and after break go over
them and provide answers.
I'm glad you brought this up! Those same quiet students seem to surround you after class or at breaks. I understand their timid nature and know it can be based on lots of reasons...and I also agree that giving them an anonymous (safe ?) method of asking questions serves both as a way to answer their questions (and most likely others in class) and may even help them get brave enough to ask out loud in class at a later date.
Note cards help the instructor to understand the muddiest point of discussion
Notecards can be anonymous
I really love this idea to engage peer learning and elicit discussions however, I instruct Oral Pathology and visualization of content is critical to learning. Any suggestions for buying time to pull up the necessary histological and clinical slides for explanation without stalling the peer to peer learning occuring in the classroom?
