In
this page there is a collection of active learning tools for the whole
class,
that can help in innovation and reflection. Each video is available
on
YouTube and for download. Also included is a brief description of each
technique and I have created a PowerPoint presentation for you to
download and use.
hope it's useful,

Studenets are divided into two groups, the first group creates a series
of questions for the second group, and vice versa. If the group give
the correct answer a point is awarded, otherwise the other group must
give the answer.
Phasing works in three phases, in phase one the students work in
three groups working on a problem, then in phase two the groups are
reorganised into two groups and work further on the problem, finally as
a whole class they finish the problem.
Each
person has two minutes to describe their experiences on a given topic
and to express their point of view while others listen. Students can
‘pass’ if they wish.
At the end of the lesson students are asked to submit questions
based on the material covered. These questions are used as an
introduction to the next lesson.
