It's great to throw out a challenge problem and then sit back and listen while they throw ideas back and forth. This classroom discussion could easily be transferred into an online chat forum. I like this idea because it is not restricted by the time of a class period. Far too many times, students have been acitvely working through a challenge and then I have to stop them because class is ending. I even avoid giving them certain problems because I don't feel they have the time to work through it. With on online chat, a discussion can continue over the course of a longer period of time. More students might engage in the discussion as well. Some of my students need to sit and stew for a while before they input, the longer available time of an online chat gives them time to chew on a problem before inputting.]]> 2019-02-06 17:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/af7g70qbnk95/wish/328387739 https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/af7g70qbnk95/wish/332379789 Cabinet Battle Analysis (Chat it Up): Just like Jade, I like to get students engaged by throwing out challenges that are aided by interaction between the students. For example, analyzing Cabinet Battle #1 in the Hamilton musical when studying Washington's first administration and the splitting of the nations into political parties. Having a collaborative discussion online, with certain requirements, could increase participation compared to in class discussion. Some students just don't like putting themselves out there, verbally.
