Change in pedagogy _____ lively and interactive ______ able to walk around the entire classroom, checking work and instructing my relations with students is closer than it used to be
Change in pedagogy Students do close-text analysis on whiteboard. I now tend to use more multimedia texts in class. Students are more engaged and often search websites for more information on concepts, cultural phenomena, text references which I am discussing with them, adding to the class’ repertoire of knowledge.
Change in pedagogy Yes, quite a lot. Class discussion is immensely enriched by seating arrangement. Glass boards allow me to give them tasks for group and individual participation and students take pictures of class work and sometimes post them on Facebook.
