Dashiell- To me the main benefit of something like TPS is the way that it interrupts a lecture and allows students to more ability to actively engage with what's going on in class. Rather than listening more passively.

Renee - A benefit of Think-Pair-Share is that it can help build oral and interpersonal communication skills.

Faith- One benefit is that all students get an opportunity share their thoughts, and they can also learn new ideas from their peers

Martin - The benefits are increased student engagement, which is always good. It helps to work towards the student centered classroom.

Jenna- Students are able to share with other students their thoughts on a lesson, which in turn will help create a more engaging environment between the students.

Jessica Jarvis: 1) Think: Protected (quiet!) time to reflect is essential. 2) Share: Verbalizing helps construct knowledge. 3) Share: Students are enriched by hearing each other's interpretations.

Anne. Think -Pair-Share is beneficial because it involves movement, sharing, verbalizing ideas, and considering other students' point of view. This can be helpful to combat boredom, shyness, or helping to grasp a concept fully.

Katie: I think a benefit of TPS is that it gives students an opportunity to share with peers while using peer language and not being singled out.

Ana - It helps the students work on their social and communication skills. They are able to learn also from their partners different responses.

2024-05-29 00:37:09 UTC

Andrew- Students reviewing the material together creates a social memory that increases retention of the knowledge.

Renee - I can envision using it during a lesson to get my students moving and engaging in the lesson. They can help and teach each other.

2024-05-29 00:37:34 UTC

Jessica Jarvis: I think this would be a great tool to use right after the "hook," a way to prime curiosity and prepare students to be active learners.

2024-05-29 00:37:38 UTC

Martin - I can see this being used to warm up to a topic, to tackle the main ideas of the subject matter or to reflect back on the lesson. It's a very versatile strategy.

Kaithland H-- Some benefits of using the think-pair-share strategy are it allows for students to think for themselves while also engaging with their peers. It can also build on what some of the students are learning and help with confusion.

Dashiell- I can see myself trying to use this ideally when I really want to push students to think about a topic in their own way rather than just listening to me, but practically I feel like it will be used more often to breakup potential monotony and preserve that more baseline engagement.

2024-05-29 00:38:00 UTC

Faith- I can use this strategy in a variety of ways such as before I introduce new material, during open classroom discussions, or during reviewing.

2024-05-29 00:38:28 UTC

Ana - It can be used to help the students engage in the activity.

2024-05-29 00:38:49 UTC

Katie- I can envision using this strategy in my classroom quite often for many different subjects. This can be a great tool to use at the beginning of class to get students focused on the content being taught that day.

Kash- Increased verbal participation, hopefully. carriage return doesn't work. Hold down space bar. for new line

2024-05-29 00:39:22 UTC

Andrew- I can see myself having them review material from the previous day or using it to emphasize key points like explaining why a concept is important.

Anne. To apply this to a science classroom, I could envision this as an analysis at the end of a lab. The experiment was done and data collected, now the students can use this idea to apply this to a real world situation or just understand what was found in a lab as sort of a summary.

2024-05-29 00:39:36 UTC

Jenna- I can envision using this strategy in multiple ways in the classroom. First I think that it is a great way for students to summarize information with each other. Furthermore, I think that this strategy would be useful when students first hear about a topic to provide a safe place for them to take a risk.

2024-05-29 00:39:45 UTC

Kaithland- I can use this strategy to help with student engagement and use it to help me figure out any misunderstandings or confusion.
