I use the fishbowl format for 5 students out of the group to discuss. The students have a sense of buy in. They feel that they are being listened to and valued. This often leads to more interest in the course, particularly from the students who have been less active in their assignments. https://padlet.com/pnellis3/i9e4ntsyy89pvo8n/wish/1766285717 2021-09-24 17:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/pnellis3/i9e4ntsyy89pvo8n/wish/1766285717 Don't discourage students from creating a WhatsApp group -- encourage it!
