In
this page there is a collection of active learning tools for individual
students, that are easy to use,
but can be powerful for 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.

The
Pause Procedure
(Video length:
3 minutes)
The Pause Procedure consists of taking a break from lecturing after
20-30 minutes into the lesson, and getting the students to do something
for a few minutes.
.
Students are given a handout with no headings or subheadings, but
with space for these. Students read the handout and decide headings
that summarise what follows in that section of text in the form of a
statement.
Towards the end of a lesson the students are asked to recall one
fact from the material covered. Another student should not repeat a
fact already mentioned and the activity should continue until all the
lesson material has been covered.
