I had a chance to redirect my introduction classes this week. I introduced the topic information via lecture on Monday, during which time I assigned them all to find a web-site about a topic within specific levels of courts. I told them to have something to share from a site on Wednesday when we returned to class. On Wednesday, they were all provided an in-class worksheet about the topic we covered on Monday. One of the assignment areas of the worksheet required them to work in small groups. From the information at the site they found, come up with a group answer to explain the level of court system and it's functions.
After a few minutes they had to write a response as a group and present it to the class. The participation and discussions were great. They love using their smart phones and ipads in class. This was a great example of on-line resources providing for critical thinking and small group student centered learning.
More to come...
