For our Chapter Readings and Current Events,
we actually respond online before we come

2
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,790
to the classroom, and that's really interesting
because as the leaders of the discussion,

3
00:00:19,790 --> 00:00:26,790
you get to read everyone's opinions on everything.
And that's really unique... in that the students

4
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:34,480
may not do that. And you can see as a class
where everyone stands. And it's really interesting

5
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:38,100
just to learn everyone's different backgrounds,
the diversity of the class, and the opinions

6
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:38,750
they have on education.

7
00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:44,480
I think that it's good because you can kind
of see where the conversation will go; it's

8
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:48,940
not just... I mean we have the format where
we have three questions asked, and then we

9
00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:54,059
have each person respond. But, it's even better
to see how people respond to each other in

10
00:00:54,059 --> 00:01:00,649
their posts, where you can have one person
just say like, "According to what Christina

11
00:01:00,649 --> 00:01:05,030
said, she brought up a really interesting
point, but here's my reaction.' You can't

12
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:10,880
really get that if you just stick to the same
three questions, or the same format. It kind

13
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,640
of takes also the student's part to bounce
off of each other."
