how it satisfies our goals

the result

the good

stepping away from powerpoint

good discussion and easy sharing

activities and games

concept comprehension

the bad

time control/management

still very reluctant to record story

lost connection to camera and video recording

hard to control discussion

takeaway for Thrivera

creating a tangible way to express stories makes sharing easier for students

set up students to discover concepts on their own

stepping away from lecture based curriculum creates an atmosphere conducive for sharing
