Part 1: If you had to teach //only// face-to-face
If you //had// to use this strategy in teaching face-to-face, to be as effective as possible:
 * (a) What could you do in class? List key components that would make this strategy most effective)
 * clickers:ask a question adn let them break into groups according to how they answered the question
 * what kind of disucssion is this: pose a question/problem? survey initial response, get them in groups to discuss, then survey again
 * Think/Pair/Share (especially when teaching in a second language)


 * (b) What could students do outside of class in preparation for and/or as a follow up to the seat time in class?
 * strategies: post discussion topics ahead of time
 * have students read ahead of time


 * think about the constitution of groups: the whole class? turn to your neighbor? specific size of groups? group roles?

Part 2: If you had to teach //only// online:
If you //had// to use this strategy in teaching fully online, to be as effective as possible:
 * (a) What could students do on their own (working independently using any resources provided)? List key resources & components that would make this strategy most effective) similar to above, could post topics, readings, instructions


 * (b) In what ways could students work collaboratively/interact with others online in preparation for and/or as a follow up to their independent work?
 * asynchronous discussion tools both having all students post and require at least two replies
 * divide students into groups for discussions in their own asynchronous forum
 * have students generatte topics in a forum as well as professor posting topics
 * one group generates topics that others have to respond to
 * how to get the students to "discuss" instead just reply

Part 3: If you could teach a hybrid class (taking the best of both worlds):
If you had a choice and could make the best of both worlds by teaching using this strategy a hybrid class, what would you do and would you have students do:
 * (a) in the face-to-face component of the class? depending on the goals of discussion: do you want to build community? survey what students already know? get them to practice persuasion? pracitce collaboration?
 * decide how big the groups should be
 * clearly define the task, roles and expectations
 * model the kind of disucssion


 * (b) in the online component of the class?
