PowerPoint Gallery Information Walk

How can we enlist students to teach one another through a collaborative process? Here's one idea shared from a health class at Berthoud High.

Students create synthesized information presentations for their peers. The peers watch and ask for clarification from the information they have gained. Students are responsible for accessing all information through an online (ie: wikispace) source for their future reference.

For the lesson outline, see the Instructional Technology Conference in FirstClass under the first section, productivity tools, or secondary health.
