Start Small
What you’re doing, how are you typically getting students to express their understanding of the material that you’ve just given them? And instead of maybe doing it in a way you’ve done it, every single week, or every single year. Is there an opportunity for them to make something? And perhaps there’s a collection of choices they can select when it comes to “making something”. And I think that’s where it is about “starting small”, it is working on what you already have in place.
– Dr. Matthew Worwood
