Group Work Example
Method learned from On Course Workshop: Skip Downing
Get into 3 groups of 4
Each person in the group will get an index card with a different lesson plan and number
Now, groups are going to break up and everyone who has lesson plan 1 meet, lesson 2 meeting and so forth for 15 minutes
Master your lesson plan as a group
After the 15 minutes meet back in your original groups to teach the rest of your group about your lesson plan
Lesson Plans for Group Activity:
CTIT003: Learning Objective 11
CTIT006: Learning Objective 4, 5, 6
CTIT006: Learning Objective 9
CTIT006: Learning Objective 10
Raspberry Pi
Great tool to teach students creativity in the IT world
ACTIVITY:
Break into two groups
Each group will make a help desk manual for the following activities:
Downloading OS to Raspberry pi
Setting up hardware for Raspberry pi
When finished email me a copy: [email protected]
I will send out a finished copy to everyone for their records
